My first "lessons" of politics:)

From Halloween

This is quote from a reader I got for Political science:)
"Consider another human activity, almost as famous as politics - something which is again neither an implementation of principles nor a matter of pure expediency: sexuality. They are both activities in which the tacit understanding of presupposition often makes more formal proposition unnecessary; the sympathies that are a product of experience are better than the doctrines that are learnt from books. Sexuality, granted, is a more widespread activity than politics, but again the suspicion remains that the man who can live without either is either acting the beast or aping the god. Both have much the same character of necessity in essence and unpredictability in form. Both are activities which must be carried on if the community is to perpetuate itself at all, both serve this wider purpose, and yet both can become enjoyable ends in themselves for any one individual. Both activities can be repeated in an almost infinite variety of forms and different circumstances..."
Are you impressed? :) I am :D

Sunday in Vienna

So, the day is over and I have time write sth in my blog and to think about the day:) It was a birthday of Katrielle, so we went to the city for a walk.
We visited some churches...
and also went to drink coffee:) by the end of the day "The devil wears Prada". It was funny:) at the end of the film I realized that i lost my umbrella, nobody can't really understand how much I was depressed, but ... I found a man who run the film and he helped me! SO, I am happy again!

Search with Ms Dewey

Better pretend to be stupid and keep your mouth shut, rather then open your mouth and remove all doubts - sth like this said me Ms Dewey when I ask her about "mr Bush" and "dictatorship":) She is great when you ask her about "gun" for example. Well, anyway it's a cute search! "It's not easy to find someone who will love you for you. And I do mean YOU specifically!" - her answer about love! "I hate spam, especially those Nigerian investors..." - this one is good (word to type: hate). Check out: weather, girl, house, happiness
P.S. "Good girls go to Heaven, bad girls go to Amsterdam"

National day of Austria

It was national day of Austria. Day of people walking around, many dogs, naked singing boys, bicycles, museums, chocolate, crowds... It was a fun day anyway.
From National day ...

Vienna by night

Well, I haven't write a lot about Vienna so far, it's just because I am quite busy here this week, but I will:) I just wanna say that all my expectation came true (although I prefer not to have expectations) and even more:) So I am really happy at the moment. Of course there are people and things I really miss, but I know that we can always be in contact so it's fine:) Here goes a photo of Vienna, I've taken it yesterday:

Freedom for Zmicier Daskievic!

Dashkevich is in jail since 15th of September :(

Age story:)



Tonight I was at a German reception where I met some of my new friends (those who I've seen only once before). And one guy was really shocked (!) by my age (NB Hmm, I am really getting older, but I don't care:)). He was sure that I am at least 4 years younger (So it's not that bad:)).

I remember one year ago I have very funny observation. It was a youth exchange in Czech Republic: Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Czech Republic and Slovenia. (Some pics are here: http://czechija.at.tut.by/) At the first party people didn't know each other and they didn't know that I was a leader of Belarusian group. So everything was fine and I had fun as the rest of the group. Then one guy asked about my age, I proposed to guess and he told "17". Wow, not bad being actually 23 that summer. At the end of our exchange I had a conversation with other Lithuanian guy who also was interested in my age and his guess was 27 as I was supposed to be the same age as their leader. Terrible! 27-17=10 years older during one youth exchange! :)

Well, one thing is important, it doesn't matter what is your age, it's important who you are and what you feel!
