  • Two ideas for how to entertain yourself in Amsterdam

    Holidays go well if you plan them. So I’m sharing two places that I liked and enjoyed on this week.

    The first place is the Brazilian theater — Munganga (https://munganga.nl/). The theater is incredibly cozy, family-friendly, with some interesting paintings, exotic things hanging on the walls. In the theater you can watch movies, listen to interesting performers from Latin America, and sometimes there are dances. Ticket prices range from 5 to 20 euros usually. If you have children, you might find something interesting for them in the agenda also.

    The second place is the comedy show — Boom Chicago (https://boomchicago.nl/). I haven’t been to any other comedy shows, but I liked this one here because every show is unique. The actors have to improvise every time. Also, the actors are interacting with the audience all the time, which adds a kind of vibrancy to what’s going on. The ticket price is about 20 euros. But there are also performances where students participate and then the ticket price is 7 euros. I went to both performances and I liked them equally.

  • Diversity of opinion

    Diversity of opinion is total bullshit. The truth is one, and when in the same situation, there cannot be more than one opinion. Let me clarify, it’s important to think accordingly. What is thinking accordingly? When you have something broken, in your body or in your car, there is one reason for that breakdown and one best way to cure it. And if you don’t know how to fix it, then just say – I don’t know.

  • Как хрупок мир и мимолетна тишина!..
    Ночной покой проснется звонким утром.
    Наш век для вечности - мгновения искра,
    Успеть бы произнести молитвы слово.

    Все люди рождены для счастья и любви!
    Земля - наш дом, где всем найдется место,
    А это, значит, что друг другу мы - родня,
    И что должны жить мирно вместе.

    Что нам делить средь братьев и сестер,
    Кроме заботы и любви к друг другу?!
    Оставить прошлому обиды перекор,
    Явив своей семье прощенья мудрость.

    Все люди разные, но в этом красота
    Открыта взорам всех духовно зрячих.
    В молитве искренность всегда важна,
    А не условности догматов вящих.

    —

    О друг меж нашими сердцами есть дорога
    И сердцу моему всегда она ясна
    Она  _ что водный ток  _ без мути ,без порога 
    А в глади чистых вод виднеется луна .

  • Today I learned two English words. The Urban Dictionary gives a precise definition of them.

    Freeloader — someone who is happy for other people to buy them things but never pays them back or returns the favour.

    Skank — a slutty person that doesn’t know how to say no to sex.
