I will always stay way too biased about my Siberian hometown Tomsk, because I just love it too much! But when it comes to wooden architecture  - Tomsk should undoubtedly become world famous for it! And I will certainly make all the effort to bring this clearly upcoming glory closer. :)

Far far away in cold snowy Siberia, hidden away from the curious eye amidst vast taiga forests, there is a small beautiful town called Tomsk. With lengthy severe winters and hit-and-run summers, surrounded by endless kilometers of taiga terra and swamps, Tomsk scares away the weak-hearted. So the townsmen, or Tomichi, if you prefer the authentic name, are all strong and brave, hard-tempered but sweet and good-natured people. That’s how I would start a fantasy fairy-tale story about a little brave girl Katya and her Siberian adventures. J
