    The skies are almost always grey when I live... So no, I don't like watching the sky.

    I don't like older people who try to mingle with youngsters, or look, act, drees much younger than they are. I find this cringe-worthy. I'm 29 and while I look much younger than my age (it's true, people always say things like "oh, I really thought you're 20"), and also feel naïve and inexperienced about a lot of things in life, I still won't hang with 18 year olds, for example.

    Russian traditional dishes are: Borsch, schi, pel'meni, various kashi, pirogi.


    Although most of these actually either adopted from other cultures, or have analogues in other cuisines.

    Pelmeni, for instance, borrowed from China, where it's called 餃子 (jiaozi) and it's actually the same as dumplings.

    Borsch is Ukrainian soup; pirogi or their likes exist pretty much in every slavic culture.

    P.s. Also Coated herring (sel'd' pod shuboi) is awesome.

    True deep Friendship >> Love

    That's no secret that couples married for a very very long time and still happy within their marriage are more friends than lovers. Chemistry between them might long gone, but they still into each  other. They share interests, goals, they help each other, they share... And all of this basically make them friends by definition.


    But love in a nutshell (without friendship) is a chemistry. Think of it, today he loves you because you're young and beatiful, but will he be sexually attracted to you when you're 70? Or would he love you if you're paralized in a car accident? I doubt it. He would be rather attracted to your personality, charisma.

    Gift = дар, как "дары Волхвов" (gifts of Magi), "дары природы" (gifts of Nature)

    Present = подарок, но "подарок за покупку" это "free gift"


    Как-то так ;)

    Disclaimer: not a native English speaker.

    What Shashank said is true, although

    "gift" used in certain expressions: gifts of nature, free gift (in a shop), gifts of Magi (in the Bible).

    Also there is slight difference I can't describe. Like, love is gift, but love is not present. Maybe "present" works better for earthly things.

    Canadians, without doubt ))

    Although politeness of an indivindual diesn't really correlate with his nation.

    I think education and social skills matter more, i.e. educated people are usually polite. Although exceptions happen.

    5. Скука

    Сегодня у меня был скука мне было скучно. Это был первые день когда я думал, что может быть у меня не получиться выучить русский язык. Конечно, бывают дни когда кто-то изучающий язык скучает и думает об этом. Я надеюсь что завтра будет лучше. Но зато я встретил других людей которые тоже едут в Санкт-Петербург со мной. Был очень весело. Они тоже изучают русский язык. Вместе, нам будет весело. Ну это всё, Том (есть англиский вариант для людей которые не понимает меня).

    Hi Tom I'm in Saint Petersburg now. I'm a native Russian speaker, and I'd be glad to help you with Russian or just chat with you and your friends IRL
