He learns how to create a nice bouquet in a greenhouse, plays Pyotr Chaykovsky's music in the composer's museum, makes good shots from famous Kalashnikov and trying himself as an acrobat in the local circus.

Flowers were always expensive in Izhevsk, even in the summer. I once had dinner with my wife at Cafe U Nevskovo and the flowers I bought for my wife were more expensive than the dinner for two with champagne. I went to see Tchaikovskii's home in Votkinsk and it was a wonderful day trip from Izhevsk. And I've been to the AK-47 museum as well. I don't recall a shooting range at the museum though. The circus building is right across the street from my former office.

They take flower business a bit too seriously: 1,000 rubles for that bouquet...
