If I was visiting you it might be my finger in that chocolate pot (laugh)! It is amazing though the wide range of non-English speaking countries who click through to read blogs, often makes me feel that I should know more languages than I do! (She says with French/English dictionary in hand....). I'm sure many of your Russian visitors speak perfect English ...but I'm sure they will be thrilled to be acknowledged!Linn B Halton and Lucy Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819488236541746062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-82250124699921028792012-07-24T16:12:28.972+02:002012-07-24T16:12:28.972+02:00Isn't it strange?

On the other hand, I believe there is a great affinity between Americans and Russians. We're both romantics. We need happy endings. Look at Crime and Punishment. Boy is ax murderer. Boy still gets girl. No Russian and no American would write Great Expectations. Girl is a man-killer. Boy is lucky to be rid of her. Of course, in the American film version, boy gets girl. Poor slob. British and Japanese are realists. They know better. Not every ending is happy.Jack Durishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577583997517810469noreply@blogger.com
