Silence Many people from all over this world feel lonely. And it doesn't matter how big city they live in or how many friends they have. Before I didn't understand that - a person has many people surrounding her\his and complains about loneliness. Weird. But at some point I've recognized that it isn't this person's loneliness - it's the general loneliness flying in the air and choking all people. Yes, we call people "friends", we feel nice feelings for them... But honestly, hardly many people have a person they can open souls and hearts to and don't worry that this person will make such eyes O_o and run away. We're afraid of our powerless to explain things as we want to explain, we're scared that the person won't understand us and our friendship will ends. And other reason is that we think - even if this guy listens to me paying attention, maybe, he doesn't wanna do that and I'm an annoying, depressed, sad person and stuff like that. Especially if we had such bad experience when we said what we felt and other person said "Hmm... it's interesting... But I have to go, see ya" and disappeared. Forever. And even if suddenly we decide to tell that person everything - I bet, we all get this damn embarrassing feeling! Eventually people think that they are lonely in all this world otherwise they are surrounding by other people thinking the same. The weird world with yelling hearts and silent mouths. It seems easier to find an unknown person on internet, tell him\her everything and never see again. But on a tangent about me it is the same - I just can't start talking about my thoughts. Can you?

Hammurabi's code Hello! I read the legal history and then I decided to rewrite what I just read in my own words in English. I hope, I haven't made too many mistakes (articles - ooh, I hate them >.<) Hammurabi’s code French archeologists have found a stone pillar amid ruins of the Persian city Susa in 1901. A text carven on the pillar was the most ancient laws code. It was laid down by Hammurabi, the tsar of Babylon in 18th century B.C. Hammurabi’s code consists 282 paragraphs. Set up in the temple of Babylon god Marduk, the laws pillar had to help to legal procedure and at the same time remind that everybody had to know laws. The code covered all sides of life. It outlawed the blood feud, murders, kidnapping of women. Punishments for such crimes were harsh. The talion’s principle is the main idea of this code. The punishment has to be precisely the same with the offence – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. In addiction of the code, if a man accusing other man as a thieve couldn’t get witnesses proving his words, he could expect the death penalty as a false accuser. The code covered issues of property and inheritance too. Hammurabi established the money fine which took account of the offence as well as the citizen’s rank.

strange people I learned English by myself, I didn't have teachers or tutors. When I got enough knowledges, I started searching of native speakers who could help me with difficult stuff I couldn't do by myself. And now I have many friends, we communicate in English and Russian, help one another and it's cool. But sometimes I'm very surprised how people learn languages. Often people requested me on skype and we got such dialog: - Hey, girl, can you help me with Russian? - Sure! What kind of help do you need? - Well... I don't know... I don't know even Russian alphabet... Can you show me letters? - O_o Sorry? LETTERS? - Yeah, what's a problem? - I can give you links on very good textbooks, you can learn letters there... - No! Are you crazy?! Why should I use textbooks if I ask you to help me?! - Look... how do you imagine it? "Hey man, look, this is "A" letter --> A. This is "B" letter --> "Б" and 33 times in this way lol It's boring for me and takes too much time, learn it by yourselves, I can help you with difficult things when you really need help. - Oh you are so mean! I'm surprised how you can act like that! Bye! - ... And it happens all the time.Tell me, maybe I do something wrong. I don't understand why people don't want to study so simple things by themselves and ask other people to spend their time for it. What's a point? Now we have so many textbooks with audio lessons, you can listen to it and learn prononciation and all this stuff... I'm glad to help people when I see that they are really interested in Russian language and they try to learn it, of course, we help each other on skype, we explain meanings of words, we check out our letters, etc. But an alphabet! Goodness, it is weird! Well, it was my opinion, what do you think about it? Do you show letters of your language's alphabet and teach words like "you, I, he, she, it, they, a mother, a father" or you prefer to talk with people who know a basic stuff? P.S. I'll be glad if you show me my mistakes in this text, I bet, I've made many mistakes haha

The language barrier Do you know what is "Я прошу прощения, но я должна идти"?) Do you know the difference between "Прощай!" and "Я прошу прощения!"? :) If you know this will be a very interesting story for you, I think... Well... I learned English without the teacher and I have never listened English spoken language... And I have learned English words wrongly. I mean I can write (with mistakes as you see :) and read and understand written English but I cant understand spoken English. It is a reason why Im looking for English speaking somebody who can speak Russian even if very-very bad because he or she cans explain me the value of words and other things. But it is very difficult to find such people. So, one English speaking boy had written me yesterday. Oh, he spoke Russian very well! We had a conversation within 3 hours (!) with Skype. He told, told, told... I was so happy because he could be a great teacher for me. And finally, when we have stoped our conversation with the micro, I had written to him: "Я прошу прощения, но мне нужно идти". And he has written me: "Прощай". Me: "Неееет, прощай - это значит навсегда. Т.е. мы больше не увидимся". Не: "Ладно. Пока!". I have got up early at the next day and had a shopping. I have bought notebooks for our lessons. I waited him in Skype very much time. But nothing. He wasnt in Skype. Hmmmm... What the... And when I looked at my page in "Vkontakte" (like Facebook) I saw he stoped our friendship! I didnt know what I must to think... And I saw him in chats. I thought very much I may ask him about his reason or I may not... And I asked. He said me: "Ты же сказала "Я прошу прощения", ты сказала, мы больше не увидимся. Ты не хотела общаться со мной. Поэтому я удалил тебя". That is he understood "Я прошу прощения" like "Я прошу попрощаться со мной навсегда!" =) I found it funny at the first time. But then... I tried to explain to him what I meant but unusually. He didnt believe me and didnt agree with me when I said that he understood wrongly this Russian expression. And he dont want to talk with me. But I havent a fault! And Im so sorry about this situation. And... And he makes me thinking Im a fool
