Victoria
was here in June 2014
I was with the children on June 7, 2014 in the Diamond Fund . I liked the tour myself . I spoiled the impression of (unfortunately I do not remember her name and surname) Children (with type 1 diabetes mellitus, insulin-dependent) had to stand in the sun for 40 minutes, they all had insulin (which boiled and was thrown out) . We are not started up 40 minutes t, that would just buy a ticket . The administrator several times quit smoking or having lunch (as it was told to us) . We asked very much that we would be allowed inside because it was cool . We were told now in 10 minutes , now after 20 minutes and t . d . When we got inside and asked for a book of complaints and suggestions we were refused to issue it and rude . Very unpleasant story .
