Language Problems

Today I went to a library, I wanted to borrow a self studying book in Chinese (I have time and I want to use it for something useful, that's why I have decided to study Chinese.). "Fortunately" I could not find books for beginners, somebody has borrowed them, but there were many other books for intermediate and advanced students. Well, I started "reading" the books and this was incredible, I could not understand a single word :D I became sooo frustrated that I decided to "add" some more and started reading Japanese self studying books. O my god! This was even more scary than I could imagine. :D :D

I have left the library very frustrated, instead of the language book, I have borrowed a very interesting book "Buddhism: tools for living your life" by Vajragupta. Now I am thinking : can I really study those languages (both or one of them) myself? Definitely nope! I need a teacher!

Interesting book for people who want to learn Chinese

Koenigsegg Buys Saab

Finally there is a company who wants and will buy SAAB.
Koenigsegg - is Swedish manufacturer of high-performance sports cars based in Ängelholm. Now I see the future for this nice car company, which has had lot of problems because of the economical crises.

I have already written, that there is a small city - Trollhättan 1 hour drive from Göteborg . It is very quiet and peaceful place, whose citizens work at Saab's factories. I can say that whole city has been depended on SAAB. Becaue of the economical crises many of them have been fired, but now, if the factory starts working tey will get their jobs back.

Ice Game

A friend of mine has thought me this game.
You take a peace of ice and throw it on a frozen surface.
Ice is braking on the surface and has very interesting voice.

Lascia ch'io Pianga in Antichrist

This aria is used by Lars von Trier in his last film Antichrist - prologue and epilogue.
I have not written yet, that I have already seen the film and going to write a review sometime in next week, but before enjoy with very beautiful music and voice.

et me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!
And that I long,
and that I long for freedom!
Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!


The duel infringes
these images
of my sufferings
I pray for mercy.
for my sufferances.
I pray for mercy.

Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!
And that I long,
and that I long for freedom!
Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!

Ship

I like ships. I always think about travel and countries and adventures. Maybe I was an explorer or a pirate in my previous life Ö
