    I'm not a native so I can't say for sure, but for me passion is like a strong desire to do something, in good meaning. It is used in advertising, for example. Enthusiasm from the other hand is less then passion, like enthusiast photographer, not a proffessional one. I prefer to use passion when you're talking about the things that you really love and do and to use enthusiasm for things that just interest you but you often don't have enough time to do them.

    A small anecdote in the army. (thank you for correct my writing)

    I would like to tell you a small anecdote when I belonged to the army.

    I was in the army for six years. To be honest it was a beautiful experience, but sometimes it was hard as well. Yesterday I was telling someone of the stuff that we used to do six or seven times a year. We used to go to a place like the countryside, where soldiers go to do different military things. The thing was that my friend didn't believe me when I told him that sometimes we spent quite time without having a shower and he asked me: what did you do to keep cleanly? Basically what we used to do was to clean our bodies with wet wipes, it wasn't too bad, but once we got home, we had a huge and enjoyable shower.


    Thank you very much for reading,
    Regards

    Pi day Today is the 14th of March of 2015. If we write it in American date format we will get 3/14/15. It looks exactly as first 5 digits of Pi - 3.1415. That's why today is called Pi day. And it's going to be the only Pi day in our whole timeline. In case you wonder what is Pi - it's the one of most important numbers in the Universe. It appears in many applications and many formulas include Pi as it's part. Pi is the number which defines the length of a circle divided by it's diameter. If you try to calculate it yourself you will find that this number doesn't depend on size of the circle and is always equal to 3.141592... It's irrational number which means that you will never stop trying to write it down, it goes on and on. It also doesn't contain any repetitions inside it. There is another remarkable irrational number out there in the Universe - e, I will discuss it later. Happy Pi day, everyone!

    The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is the American sitcom about physicists and their complications in the relationships with women. It started when two brilliant physicists named Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Haufstadter who live in the same apartment near the University find out that they have beautiful young woman Penny living the next door. Penny is working as waitress at Cheesecake Factory near their apartment and she want to become an actress in Hollywood. Leonard and Sheldon and their two close friends, jew Howard Wolowitz and indian Radjesh Kutrapali start to communicate with Penny and finally she enters into their company and they all become huge friends. The main problem of young physicist, as it shown in sitcom, is that they are very shy in communicating with women. Radjesh even loses his ability to speak if beautiful women is around. But the smartest one, Sheldon, don't even try to communicate with women because he doesn't understand the point of relationships.

    If it's connectivity issue of due to some regulations I suggest for a student to use VPN or some anonymizer software. For OS X it's Tunnelbear or something. There are also number of browser plugins to anonymizing.

    We visited Budapesht last autumn. It was a weekend trip (3 days in total) and we walked a lot through the whole city centre. So in my opinion 5 days is enough. You should definetely go to the thermas, it's outstanding.

     

    One note about Budapesht - if you want to go to a good restaurant - make a reservation. All attractive places which we found was by reservation only. We did a reservation in one restaurant and came there next day, meals was very good. But the average level of food in Budapesht is average, Prague for example has much tasty food.

     

    Have a nice trip!

    Leviathan Today I watched movie titled Leviathan. It finally are showing in our cinema theaters after almost 2 years of finishing the production. This is a 4th film by Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev, who is famous for his style of telling parables in his movies. His first movie, "The Return" is about interactions between father and his children. Second, "The Banishment" is about love, woman's love to a man and love to god. Third, "Elena" is about mather's love to her child. This one, Leviathan, shows the opposition between one little man and the state. The storyline was inspired by the story of Marvin Heemeyer whose house was under dispute with the Government. If you don't know the end of Heemeyer's story - check out Wikipedia. Spoiler alert - Leviathan ends differently. Leviathan shows Russian remote province in it's poverty, desperation and alcoholism. Many people blame Zvyagintsev for showing life like this but in my opinion it's close to actual view on Russian province. If you want to see how real Russia outside of Moscow and other big cities live - watch this film, it's outstanding. Leviathan is nominated on Oscar award as best foreign picture. It's already won Golden Globe award, prize of Cann's festival and number of other prizes.

    Racetrack When you are running on a racetrack think that you are running out of the country. That's easier to run.
