EXAMPLE:

RUSSIA:


Although money can be an issue, and going to distant places can be a broken dream before you start dreaming, I would anyway love to visit Russia. Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colorful contry.
Russia has an incredible population,  they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but don't worry! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact,  its geography is composed of more than 17 million square kilometres!
This huge land is the home of one of the most multi-ethnic nations in the world, and it is considered to be the world’s most diverse society – there are as many as 160 ethnic groups living there, i.e. 160 ways of viewing life, asian people, europeans, people from the arctic, etc!, and just the thought of all the traditions, cotumes, and folclore they have, makes  me crave for visiting ASAP! 
Another of the reasons I would like to see Russia, it's its multi-lingualism, I mean,  being honest;  with that ammount of squared kilometres and ethnicities, you could not expect any less. 

There are  more than 100 tongues spoken in all the country, and even though Russian is the official language, one can always learn a word or two in an incomprehensible, new-for-us language!, Furthermore, I find particularly interest the fact that when writing, the Russians use the Cyrilic Alphabet, and simply, no-one can say it is not a whole world to discover.




Apart from the above mentioned, I have a real interest in taking a tour around the geography, and have a good time travelling Asia and Europe, but even more, I would just love to take a culinary tour, can you imagine the ammount of strange dishes one can find among all those ethnicities?
So far, I have had the chance of eating a couple of traditional russian dishes, they have both been very stimulating and a bit unknown for me, and since I have loved them, I am looking forward to eating them again in situ, and also, have a bite of everything I can, and I am sure that when money gets to be a friend, I will be sending you postcards from there.
See you in Russia!!!

    My cousin visited Russia in june for the Confederations Cup and he told me that this country have a lot of cultures that live in relative harmony. But the police is very violent and repressive.

    Reading this makes Russia seems really interesting, especially because of that multiculturalism you mentioned. I'm sure that i would love it too. I would like to taste that kind of food. If i'm honest, that's what calls my atention the most. I have never tried russian food before and i would really like it, but i don't know if i'm prepared to learn russian language yet.

    I would also like to visit Russia, especially in winter. I didn't know there are so many tongues spoken in that country, that's very interesting. I hope you get there sometime. Best wishes.

    Francisco Oyarzún, iceie4sem2fridayfranciscooyarzun.blogspot.cl. As you say, Russia is a very attractive country, considering that is one of the protagonist of the contemporary history: The Russian Revolution, the IIWW, the Cold War, etc.

    Russia seems to be a nice place to visit someday, though learning cyrilic looks a bit tough. I think there's another really interesting aspect of this country, and it's the diversity in landscapes, forests and wildlife there.

    last month i've watched a tv show that talked about the Transsiberian Train, tha nature and the people that live in those remote lands. It was amazing and very interesting. Since that day, Russia became part of my "places i want to go" list.

Themed Post 2 (05-10) My Favouritew Character from a Series

Sheldon Cooper: BAZINGA. It is not at all hard to think of funny or interesting characters in movies or series, it is actually hard to  think of only one which may stand as my favourite but after a thought or two I have come up to the certainty that Sheldon Cooper, from the The Big Bang Theory series is my favourite because it is a smart and witty guy, he also shows he wants to do his best despite all his personal difficulties and mostly because his interventions are hilarious, even though he doesn’t mean to. The TV series The Big Bang Theory is about a group of friends who are very intelligent scientists and in their early 30’s struggling to get a sound relationship with both their loving and professional lives and Sheldon Cooper happens to be the most prestigious scientist of them all but yet, he is the character which struggles the most due to his Asperger condition,  which makes him seem to be an awkward and hard to deal with person, principally because of his say...
