Manners, characteristic and mentality of Russians

Every country in the world has many areas where people have one’s manners, mentality, characters and many other ways. Too, in Slovakia we have much this area. For example: “Zemplínčania, Oravčania, Šarišania, Russians” and many other.

I live in part of Slovakia where live Russians and Šarišania, but I have near to Russians. Russians have other manners than people which live in our capital city. Here people have a lot of understanding for people problems. When I have a problem my friends or other people help me. But in the big cities people are busy, nervous and they haven’t time, because they have much work. In my town where live Russians they haven’t much money because there isn’t much work and so people there live quietly life. People there haven’t much opportunity for a work and so they must to live abroad. They must work at home and they breed animals, for example they breed: cows, rabbits, goats.... And so they have meal: meat, milk, cheese and butter. People which are Russians are very social. They like dancing and singing. They have like a folk music. Russians have many festivals where they present their manners. Russians have typical food too. For example: doughnuts, soup with mushrooms called “mačanka, bobaľky” and many others. Typical for Russians is that they live his life according to “Julianskeho” calendar. They have the Christmas day and the Easter day is relocate for two weeks later.

I am very happy that I live here because, Russians are people which are very lovely, hospitable and they help me when I need it.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE

In almost every teenager’s life there comes a time when you look at your family and thing: “Who are these people? Was I not born into the wrong family?!” This is one of several important ideas in the oscar-winning movie, Little Miss Sunshine, released in 2006. In this family, Dad is trying to become famous for his ideas on how to be successful. Grandpa is old and tired and incidentally addicted to heroin. Uncle Frank, a scholar who is also gay, has just tried to commit suicide. Dwayne, the teenager, is so disgusted with life that he has stopped speaking entirely. Mom is nervously trying to keep everyone happy. And then there is 7 years old Olive, a chubby, clumsy girl with glasses who desperately wants to win the Little Miss Sunshine children’s beauty contest. So the whole family drives 900 miles for the contest. The strongest message in this film is the fact that Olive already is Little Miss Sunshine. She does not need a beauty prize because she already is a beautiful person inside, and she does what she loves-to dance, without stopping-no matter what her judges think of her. It is her naïve, sweet goodness in the midst of absurdity that makes this movie so special and unforgettable.

London transport

The big cities such as London have to have the elaborate system of transport, because there are a lot of cars and also many people who have to move from one place to other. When we think about London’s transport, there are more images that cross our minds, for example: London’s black taxis, typical London double-deckers and the London underground, which is one of the oldest subway systems in the world. The public transport network in London is one of the most expensive in the world.
Because London was awarded the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, a total of 7 billion pounds will be spent on refurbishing and expanding the city’s links, mainly on the London Underground. By 2013, a new service called Crossrail is due to open. A Cross River Tram is also in planning. It will depart from the southern suburbs, cross the River Thames, go through the City London, and continue its journey to the northern suburbs. It is said that it will be the world’s longest tram route.
Although London transport has a very high level, they want to still improve it.

Tower Bridge

The capital of England, London, has a lot of famous landmarks. Surely, one of the most distinctive is the gothic Tower Bridge. But do you know why is has this name? Or how old it is?

Some people suppose that the Tower Bridge has name according to the Tower of London, which is situated near this bridge. The name is not for this but for its two distinctive towers. The reason for the two towers is because at the time it was built London was still very important port. The lowest bridge over the Thames was originally London Bridge and for a long time they did’t build one further down because it would have caused problems for shipping. But there was so much traffic that London Bridge could’t cope with it. That is why they decided to build one that would open. The bridge looks very old, but it was completed in 1894.
Nowadays the metal parts are painted blue, but originally they were chocolate brown. In 1977 they became a patriotic red, white and blue as part of the celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee. There is also a museum in the bridge, which opened in 1982.
The central part was designed to be raised so that ships could pass through easily.
In my view the Tower Bridge belongs between the most interesting memories in London and I recommend everyone for see it.
