My life and experience in immigration. Блог о моей жизни в иммиграции.
8 утра. Нью Бедфорд.
Я иду по знакомым уже улицам, рассматриваю витрины (в центре города часто что-то меняется).
Навстречу кто-то улыбается, кто-то не обращает внимания. Один старенький бомж (а может и не бомж, а просто так выглядит) пожелал доброго утра.
8 am. New Bedford.
I walk along the familiar streets, looking at the shop windows (something changes often in Downtown).
Some of the passersby smile at me, Some do not pay attention. One old man looking like a tramp wished good morning.
6 лет назад я приехала в Америку с одним чемоданом. Но предварительно я отправила в Штаты посылку с книгами. Что это были за книги?
Practical English usage (Michael Swan). Эту книгу я купила в Томске, когда решила серьезно заняться английским. Помню, что меня удивили цены в этом магазине: две книги стоили как одни джинсы. Победили книги. Правда, с собой привезла только одну из них.
6 years ago I came to America with one suitcase. But first I sent a parcel to the U. S. with books. What were those books?
-What are you going to have for dinner?
-Leftovers

3. “The demons don’t like fresh air”, David Sedaris. It’s a good time to make my thoughts clear.
So, 5:30 am – dark, quiet, not warm.

There is an expression (more like a joke): if you like a girl, grab her and make her happy.
I recently received a message from an acquaintance that made me remember this expression.
The story is:
7 years ago I joined the site to practice English.
The year is not over yet, but I can already sum up some results.
This year in the library I conducted a series of programs Taste of Russia. There were 4 of them by the number of seasons in the year. Taste of Russia was a program about a favorite (or popular) dish of the season.
In winter, I talked about the history of Olivier salad. I learned a lot for myself. It turned out that the salad-dressing was the main thing in the Olivier salad. I also learned why the salad has so many names: Olivier, Capital, Winter. The salad is always a success.
Я влюбилась в Бостон с первого посещения . Всем и всегда говорю, что он сильно напоминает мне Томск. Хотя, если подумать, что может общего между этими городами.
Совершенно разные стили архитектуры, хотя оба города были основаны в 17 веке.

I fell in love with Boston the first time I visited it. I always tell everyone that it reminds me a lot of Tomsk. Although, if to think what may be common between the two cities? Completely different styles of architecture, even though both cities were founded in the 17th century.
