Niigata is a town of a great hope. Five months of treatment. It was a time when a little boy got to know a world around him: picturesque landscapes, benevolent and smiling people, a warm sea, sunny days and pouring rains of Japan. Alexey met here wonderful people who took care of him, University Hospital stuff, Japanese, who wisely conducted treatment and compatriots. A little boy proved to be a real gourmet, his favourite Japanese dishes became: susi, sasimi with salmon, sweet omelet, tempura and a green tea. Alesha's favourite Niigata places: Hakusan park, where he used to feed doves and fishes, Nishibory street, where was the house of the family for these months and the children's room of the supermarkets where a little boy used to meet other children and played with them.
