Live Abroad. Hi, folks, I'm living in Israel now, in Tel-Aviv, in student campus. I arrived here less two weeks ago, now have dual sitizenship and accompanying papers. We lern hebrew five days a week from 8:15 to 12:30. There are people all over the whe world in our groups: Spain, Franse, USA, Brazil... Before this I lived in Israel about eleven mounth on Masa program, that was fan. I was on two programs, first called Sport-Extrime, was in Nitzana hamlet, in Negev desert, it is near Egyptian border. Second "Ofek" was in kibbutz between Askelon and Asdod. At the middle and espеcially at the end of the program I was very homesick because I love my city and i was waiting for the arrival with the inpatiense. I thought just jump from a plane and run to the Hermitage. Like fun! I just walked couple days in a centre, drop in St. Isaac's and Kazan Cathedrals. I lived in my hometown for two month and now I'm back in Israel. I can write much more, but I'm too lazy. Peace.

trainsurfing I want to tell you about trainsurfing in Russia. Trainsurfing in our country is incredible popular, of course not as in India or Bangladesh, but very popular) Especially in a big cities, sometimes in Moskow or Saint-Petersberg you can see some tens of people on the roof of the train, all of these people can buy a ticket, but they don't need it, they do this just four fun, so they prefer travel outside. For the first time I heard about trainsurfing from the internet and decided to try. Next day I was written off company of trainsurfers, meet them and we go to trainsurf on electric train. This new expеriense was fun and I often trainsurf with my new friends several next month. But it quickly bored and some of us started transerfed in a subway. Sometimes I trainsurfed trolleybuses and trams. But most of all I like sapsan - highly speed train, which can dispersed to 250 km\h. and drive you to Moscow in a 3h 40min. If you can outwit all security guard you will have unforgettable travel, if not and they catch you, police just give you administrative fine 100 rubles (less then 4$) - another reason to love trainsurfing in Russia. Now I invite you to divide a part of memories from my last trainsurfing on sapsan, enjoy)

Literari preferenses Do you like to reading? Of course you like! But that is your favorite genre and writer? Do you like love stories or drammas? Adventure or horrors? Do you prefer happy end or not? Do you read in transport or just at home? You use only books or use reader? What about me, i like science fiction very much and my favorite writer is Stanislav Lem. I read many his books and can`t call favorite because they all are very intresting. There arе two movies basis his book Solaris (Soviet and American) but i don`t advise you to see them before reading the book because they don`t transmit the athmosphere of book, but the main reason is that thay lost idea whict author means. Now i`m reading Karlos Kastaneda "the art of dreaming" it`s intresting but enough involved.

music Right now I`m listening my favorite group "Кино" (i dont now how to translate the name of group, can be: cinema\film\movies). There are so many beautiful songs, and one of my favorite "blood type" they even made remix оn English. You can listen it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUpFwPa-Ehs Unfortunatеly leader of group died in 1990 in а car crash, so there is no more group. I think Victor Tsoi in Soviet Union (and in Russia later) was like Kurt Cobain in USA - he is still alive even after death... What do you think about this? And what music do you prefer? And of corsre if you listenig something right now - write what is it!
