Well, back for a while - I still suffer from the lack of computer in my hostel room :D but I promise to rejoin CFC as soon as I can Thanks Hitro - that's a great list! And I'm glad to see you too BTW - I still haven't mentioned what is it all about. It's connected with my part-time job - I'm...

@storealex: relax, :D "eating frozen vodka" was really funny, especially considering that it's true in a certain degree. You see, in our universities there's a kind of initiation ceremony. The part of ceremony of my faculty ( molecular and biological physics ) is to drink a ladle of shampagne...

Thanks for your help, guyz. Being Russian by origin I was surprised to read "..Russians eat frozen vodka as food". Actually the portrait I remembered the best for some reason was "heavy-drinking scientists". Once again, I'm very grateful. That was a great opportunity for me to realize that...

Hi everyone! I haven't been here for ages, but now it looks like I have to return for a while ;) The thing is I need to gather some information, but I don't know any other place that could help me better than CFC. I'd love you all to mark here some stereotypes of other nations' habits...

AFAIK Swastika was widely spread over various cultures as the symbol of the sun. As for me I know it to be one in German, Celtic and Russian cultures. In Ancient India it symbolized four worlds - the world of humans, gods, animals and daemons.

Hi Vrylakas! Don't conglatulate me with returning, I still have 6 exams to pass. ;) :D Just thought I had something to post here... Vazroditelen first appeared as the basis of anti-muslim policy in Bulgaria in early 50-s, one included deportations, general assimilation, mass killings...

it's better to say - "is stil frightened by possible communist domination in nearer future" ;)

That's how modern physics says, but is it really so? Most likely that modern general theory of relativism is far from perfection. And btw, it's not true, not quite true - have you ever heard anything about Cherenkov's effect?

Anyway, learn Russian, it might be useful in nearer future ;)

As far as I know any offerings of creating additional forums are traditionally negatively faced by moderators, even if some forums are realy needed... and certainly, there's no hope for politics/religion forum to be started

THE FATHER EMPEROR. You see yourself as a loving parent with strong discipline and values. You want your people, your children, to be happy, yet safe. You enjoy a life of respect and adoration. Not as adored as your eighth cousin, twice removed, who leads a neighbouring empire, but yet loved...

I'd probably be a rich serf or a merchant (merchant from Greece - most likely) - my mother's branch, but I know almost nothing about my father's heneology.

Ohh... what was I thinking of...? Kill Bill - a wonderful movie!

Here are some: The Pianist (Roman Polanski) Strawberry Field (Ingmar Bergman) Lord of the Rings - Return of the King (Peter Jackson) All the movies are almost perfect :D I really enjoyed them
