Dont worry about Putin`s invasion. I am afraid when he leaves we will have nothing except vodka, sausages and other petty bourgeoisie prosperity.

I have heard that in past times (before reforms, 1978) if a man wants to express his sex-simpathy and love to a woman, he couldnt say: "I like/love you", he was allowed just to say her: "You serve to chairman Mao very well!" . (meaning was the same). :-))) Can anybody confirm it is true? Full Comment>>

It is evident the problem (I mean first story) is not of China-American couples, it is a universal problem. The traditional balance of rights and duties between a husband and a wife is destroied.

I think a foreigner paid too much. If you agree you were wrong in this situation, words of excuse will be quite enough. (You should say to him you also have suffered). If a Chinese want money compensation - 50 RMB will be quite enough. His kind of bycicle (quite new) is worthy of 300 RMB (so, why he wants 2000?). If ... Full Comment>>

When you choose alcohol it would be more safe to buy chinese strong drinks then famous western brands. Chinese drinks are authentic, cheap, clean and quite drinkable.

GIRLS are always very well dressed. BOYs on the contrary like sports, and sometimes even drink alcohol. Havent you ever seen crowds of British drunk football fans...? Nothing particular, boys are just having fun. Be sure, British fans are not worse then Russians. And also, I believe a man should have more ... Full Comment>>

Your fart-expression "niggers of White people" at last presents you quite clear. We, Russians, believe it is much more honorable to be a Negro man then to be a miserable piece of shit with strong smell from some Baltic "Western democracies" like Latvia or Litvania.

I see you indeed want to understand Russians. Maybe, I can help you. Russian cuisine.

Hi, Natalia! Thank you for attention to my person. I am not so vulgar and familiar as to poke my nose into your private life, to discuss your personality. Never!

I think, prostitution is a crime only viewing from religious point of view (it is purely a religious crime, crime against religious moral). So, why do modern (liberal and atheistic) societies critisize prostitution? It is just hypocrisy! Full Comment>>
