Auto tinsmith day Auto tinsmith day. In Russia, especially in big cities every years we "celebrate" this event. It's called Auto tinsmith day, because it's the most lucky day for people of this profession. Last 10-15 years it became traditional Moscow "celebration". It event has not definite date, because the main reasons of this celebration are always unpredictable, despite the weather forecasts. It's first big snowfall or cold snap. Usually it's happens in the late fall or early winter. In this year it was yesterday. Many kilometers of traffic jams, deadlocks on crossroad, hundreds of car accidents are a features of this celebration. You can drive 1 kilometer in 2 hours or you can spend about 3-4 hours on the way home sitting in a car or bus. The only escape from this - the underground (subway). Take care and good luck on the road!

First notebook entry: Introducing myself My name is Denis. I'm learning English and I really like it. I love music, especially British. I prefer britpop, indie and trip-hop. My favorite bands are Oasis, The Verve, Coldplay, Kasabian, DM, Massive Attack, Archive, Stateless, Chemical Brothers, Morcheebo, of course The Beatles and many others. Last time I'm bit crazy about The XX and BIGkids. Basically all of them British. But I love and some U.S. bands too, such as 30 s.t.m., Blue October, Beastie Boys and R.E.M. for example. I like travel and history. I have been to a few countries around the world. Like any man, I love sports and cars. My favorite sport is ice-hockey. I really like watching it. I am getting pleasure from playing tennis, ping-pong and valleyball. My English is far from perfect, and I would be glad to any conversation in that language. If someone needs help in Russian, just write to me I'll be very glad to help. )

my first little story. updated It was a few years ago in India. My friends and I rested to seaside in GOA state. We was living in Anjuna. Once we were walking along the beach. It was evening and we were quite hungry. We decided to have a dinner, but most of restaurants had already been closed, other ones were closing. Luckily we saw one which have been opened yet. We were watching beautiful sunset when waiter came to us. He was Indian and his English was not very well. We also were not good at English. Though one of us spoke English little bit. We asked menu and we ordered drinks. After that we chose dishes. It was dark, when waiter came back with our drinks, because it gets dark very quickly in India. My friend told him about our order. Waiter replied something, what we haven't understood. We thought maybe waiter is not understanding us. My freind asked him: - Is the kitchen working yet? But waiter haven't understood him again. Then my freind told waiter slowly: - Could you cook something to eat for us? Waiter embarrassed, turned white and replied: - Who? I? )))))

Boyzone - No matter what No matter what they tell us No matter what they do No matter what they teach us What we believe is true No matter what they call us However they attack No matter where they take us We'll find our own way back I can't deny what I believe I can't be what I'm not I know I'll love forever I know no matter what If only tears were laughter If only night was day If only prayers were answered Then we would hear God say Repeat Chorus And I will keep you safe and strong And shelter from the storm No matter where it's barren A dream is being born No matter who they follow No matter where they lead No matter how they judge us I'll be everyone you need No matter if the sun don't shine Or if the skies are blue No matter what the end is My life began with you I can't deny what I believe I can't be what I'm not I know, I know I know this love's forever That's all that matters now No Matter What Собственно перевод: Не важно что они говорят нам Не важно что они делают Не важно чему они нас учат То, во что мы верим — истина Не важно что они зовут нас Как бы они ни нападали Не важно куда они ведут нас Мы найдем свой путь назад Я не могу отречься от того, во что верю Я не могу быть тем, кем не являюсь Я знаю эта любовь вечна Я знаю, что бы ни произошло, Если бы только слезы были смехом Если бы только ночь была днем Если бы только был получен ответ на молитвы Тогда бы мы услышали ЕГО Не важно что они говорят тебе Не важно что они делают Не важно чему они учат тебя То, во что ты веришь — истина И я позабочусь о твоей безопасности и силе И уберегу от бури Не важно, даже там где абсолютно пусто (бесплодно) Мечта рождается Не важно за кем они следуют Не важно куда они ведут Не важно как они судят о нас (осуждают) Я буду всем что тебе нужно Не важно, солнце не светит или небо синее Не важно как все закончится Моя жизнь началась с тобой Я не могу отказаться от того, во что верю Я не могу быть тем, кем не являюсь Я знаю эта любовь вечна Это все, что сейчас имеет значение Что бы ни происходило Что бы ни происходило Что бы ни происходило Это все, что важно для меня
