Using "used to" I work as an design engineer and every day I surprise how technologies have change a work routine. When I studied at university, all students used to make their graphic projects using pencil and hands. But now every engineer use a special software and the process had become faster and more efficient. And what is almost exciting , there are not so many mistakes in project and the building process comes easier.

About weather and my own experience Today I want to tell you about weather. For about a year ago I've visited Russia according to my business trip. I planned to stay there for two weeks, but situation changed and I had to stay for almost two months. When I packed my luggage I didn't think that the weather there could be so different and changes so fast. During first two weeks the weather was unbearably hot and warm. I could compare this climate with tropical. I had a frequent dizzy spell and it was really hard to work. But after that time the situation completely changed. Strong wind and low temperatures, near 15 degrees above zero, and even snow. And all this could happen with you in one day. By the way, it was July. And how strong the rains were. I've never seen so strong downpour. You couldn't saw the tree which is in a distance of two meters near you. But there were some hilarious moments as well. When I stayed an home and the rain began it was really funny to watch on buses which tried to sail on the road. If you ask me for a piece of advice, I will tell you : take with you in your trip an umbrella, an winter hat, a summer dress, a T-shirt and so on, so you have already understood that the weather theme might change extremely fast during short period of time.

My city Today I'm going to tell you about place where I live. My city called Zaporizhzha, but citizens usually called it ZP. I don't know noone who says that his city sucks..and I'am one of them. ZP is one of the biggest city in our country, there are for about 800 thousand inhabitants. If you ask me what it's like, I said that it crouded at the centre and quiet at the sleeping districts. Green sometimes and air is "oh my god"( very polluted, It smells disgusting sometimes cause there are many factories situated near the centre) Architector who chose location for them must die))) ZP has one high street Lenina prospect, which is 16 km long and all life is concentrated here. Are you hungry or want to meet friends or have a date or want run at the morning-everyone are here. This city has many dissapointing things but it's native and if I will move out I will miss.

Also I'm cuddly and comforting(that is my friend's words)) And they said I'm a furry sometimes, like a cat. But what do you think about it? Is word "furry" for people or not?
