Ant #298. Good-bye 2014.

What can I say?
This year has been horrible as hell. Not the worst in my life, but still...

Ok ok, step by step... )))

It's been full of events, ups and downs, stories, bad and good things in almost all the possible sides of a human being's life.

And the most disgusting one is that my country (where I was born) attacked another one, occupied a part of its territory and started a real war with thousands of killed people now on both sides. This situation nearly ruined my relationship with family, especially with my dad who has been a military all his life and sees a greatness of our country in being assholes. It also affected all our incomings, but I would give all my money just to stop this fucking war. Probably it's the very first time in my life when I feel ashamed for being russian. I know I'm not responsible for this crap, I was always against Putin and his corrupted government, I went to all the demonstrations, I never voted for him or his party, but I allowed him to become a president, I didn't try well to convince people and show them who he really is. So I guess I AM responsible too and this feeling is killing me from the inside.

Well, but in this year there also were some positive moments. If 2013 was heartbreaking, than 2014 has been heartrecovering! ))) No details this time, just wanna say that I learnt once again how to love and I think this is the best thing that happened to me in years. I found out that I'm so full of love, passion, warmness, caring, more than ever! I'm not afraid of my feelings any longer and I'm totally happy!

Like in the song... "Through the darkness somehow I survived. Tough love... I knew it from the start, deep down in the depth of my rebel heart!"



So for those who has been devastated like me in this yeah, I wish the next one to be better, actually it barely can be worse! )))
For those who have been fine (I know some, LOL), I wish you all, lucky bastards, the next one to be even brighter!

Spread the love! <3

So as usually I post lyrics!


LIVING FOR LOVE

First you love me and I let you in
Made me feel like I was born again
You empowered me, you made me strong
Built me up and I can do no wrong
I let down my guard, I fell into your arms
Forgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarms
Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark
I was blind to your game
You fired a shot in my heart

Took me to heaven, let me fall down
Now that it's over
I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up and watched me stumble
After the heartache
I'm gonna carry on

Living for love
I'm living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up
Love's gonna lift me up

I could get caught up in bitterness
But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess
I found freedom in the ugly truth
I deserve the best and it's not you
You've broken my heart, but you can't break me down
That have fallen apart, that was lost, now I'm found
I picked up my crown, put it back in my head
I can forgive, but I will never forget

Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over
I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache
I'm gonna carry on

Living for love
I'm living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up
Love's gonna lift me up
Love's gonna lift me up
Cause love's gonna lift me up

Up, up, up, up
Love lift me up, up, up, up
Cause love's gonna lift me up

Up, up, up, up
Love lift me up, up, up, up
Love's gonna lift me up

Love lift me up, up, up, up

Living for love
Living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm Living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up


DEVIL PRAY

Take my sins and wash them away
Teach me how to pray
I've been stranded here in the dark
Take these walls away

I've been swimming in the ocean
Till I almost drowned
Give me something I can believe in
Teach me how to pray

And we can do drugs
And we can smoke weed
And we can drink whiskey
Yeah, we can get high and we can get stoned
And we can sniff glue
And we can do E
And we can drop acid
Forever we're lost with no way home

Yeah, we can run and we can hide
But we will find the answers
If you got down then you'll get help along the way
But if you want to save your soul
Then we could travel off together
And make the Devil pray

Mother Mary can't you help me?
Cause I've gone astray
All the angels that were around me
Have flown away

The ground beneath my feet's getting warmer
Lucifer is near
Holding on but I'm getting weaker
Watch me disappear

And we can do drugs
And we can smoke weed
And we can drink whiskey
Yeah, we can get high and we can get stoned
And we can sniff glue
And we can do E
And we can drop acid
Forever we're lost with no way home

Yeah, we can run and we can hide
But we will find the answers
If you got down then you'll get help along the way
But if you want to save your soul
Then we could travel off together
And make the Devil pray

O-o-ooh sing Hallelujah
Save my soul
O-o-ooh the Devil's here to fool ya
Until my story's told

I said o-o-ooh sing Hallelujah
Save my soul
O-o-ooh The Devil's here to fool ya
Until my story's told


GHOSTTOWN

Maybe it was all too much
Too much for a man to take
Everything's bound to break
Sooner or later, sooner or later

You're all that I can trust
Facing the darkest days
Everyone ran away
But we're gonna stay here, we're gonna stay here

Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhh
I know you're scared tonight
Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhh
I'll never leave your side

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghost town

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghost town

Tell me how we got this far
Every man for himself
Everything's gone to hell
We gotta stay strong, we're gonna hold on

This world has turned to dust
All we've got left is love
Might as well start with us
Singing a new song, something to build on

Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhh
I know you're scared tonight
Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhh
I'll never leave your side

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghost town

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghost town

I know we're alright
Cause we'll never be alone
In this mad mad, in this mad mad world
Even with no light
We're gonna shine like gold
In this mad mad, in this mad mad world

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghost town

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghost town

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghost town
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghost town


UNAPOLOGETIC BITCH

Woke up this morning
Feeling good that you were gone
Hurt for a while,
But I'm finally moving on
Said it, Did it, Hit it, Quit it
Then you let it go
See you tried to call me,
But I blocked you on the phone

It took a minute,
But now I'm feeling strong
It almost killed me,
But I'm better off alone
Now you say it that you're sorry,
I don't wanna know
Better face the fact
You had to go

It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is

You know you never really knew
How much you loved me 'til you lost me
Did you?
You know you never really knew
How much your selfish bullshit cost me
Oh, fuck you

It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an

I know you'd like it
If I stayed home and cried
But that ain't gonna happen,
Here's the reason why
When we did it, I'll admit it,
Wasn't satisfied
When the gun was loaded
You were never on the side

I'm popping bottles
That you can't even afford
I'm throwing parties
And you won't get in the door
Said it, Did it, Loved it, Hated it
I don't care no more
Tell me how it feels
To be ignored?

It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is

You know you never really knew
How much you loved me 'til you lost me
Did you?
You know you never really knew
How much your selfish bullshit cost me
Oh, fuck you

It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an

It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an

It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is

You know you never really knew
How much you loved me 'til you lost me
Did you?
You know you never really knew
How much your selfish bullshit cost me
Oh, fuck you

It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an
Unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta
Call it like it is

It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an

It's not Oprah and Obama

The Pope or Rihanna 

Queen Elizabeth or Kanye

It's not pentagrams or witchcraft

It's not triangles or stacks of cash

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

To right and to wrong

It's time to dance and turn this dark into something

So let the fire burn, this music is bumping

We're gonna live forever, love never dies

It starts tonight

Behind the curtain of the new world order

It's not platinum encrypted corners

It's not Isis or the phoenix,

pyramids of Egypt

It's not the Google or United States

It's not Bieber or the LeBron

Clinton or Obama

Or anyone you love to hate

The all-seeing eye is watching tonight

That's what it is

Truth and light

The all-seeing eye is watching tonight

Nothing to hide

Secrets inside

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

You know that everything that glitters isn't gold

So let the music take you out of control

It's time to feel it in your body and soul

C'mon, let's go

We're gonna dance and turn this dark into something

So let the fire burn, this music is bumping

We're gonna live forever, love never dies

It starts tonight

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

It's like everybody in this party, shining like Illuminati

Thank you! Good night!

Ant #290. "Rebel Heart" and "Wash All Over Me".

First, I'd like to say some words.

I'm not happy that both songs are leaked. Madonna spent months in studio and definitely wanted them to appear in another way.
But anyway I love them and I got super-excited! Can't wait for the whole album (to be released, not leaked, of course).

Second.
I don't get those who say them sound like Avicii. Hello, any song of any artist sounds typically for a producer who made it. So calm the fuck down and enjoy the music!


Madonna – Rebel Heart

I lived my life like a masochist
Hearing my father say: “Told you so, told you so”
“Why can´t you be like the other girls?”
I said: “Oh no, that’s not me and I don’t think that it’ll ever be”
Thought I belong to a different tribe, walking alone,
Never satisfied, satisfied
Tried to fit in but it wasn´t me,
I said: “Oh no, I want more, that´s not what I´m looking for”

So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth of my rebel heart, of my rebel heart

I spent some time as a narcissist
Hearing the other say: “Look at you, look at you”,
Trying to be so provocative
I said: “Oh yeah, that was me”
All the things I did just to be seen
Outgrown my past and
I´ve shed my skin
Letting it go and I´ll start again, start again
Never look back
It´s a waste of time, I said: “Oh yeah, this is me”
And I´m right here where I wanna be
I said: “Hell yeah! This is me”
Right where I´m supposed to be


So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in my Rebel Heart

So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth

Of my Rebel heart
Of my Rebel heart
Of my Rebel Heart
Of my Rebel Heart…



Madonna – Wash All Over Me

In a world that’s changing
I’m a stranger in a strange land
There’s a contradiction
And I’m stuck here in between
Life is a like a desert,
An oasis… too confusing
So I walk this razors edge
Will I stand or will I fall
Turned a blind eye

Tried to pretend that nothing is what it seems
Torn between the impulse to stay or running away with from this madness

Who am I to decide what should be done?
If this is the end then let it come
Let it come, let it rain
Let it rain, rain all over me
Like the tide, let it go
Let it wash all over me
Over me, let it wash all over me
Over me, let it wash all over me

All of my illusions
Could be shattered in a second
You could thread a needle
With a tear drop from my eye
It’s a cruel injustice
To be witness to the things i see
Looking for the answer
When it’s right in front of me

From the tower of Babylon
Where nothing is what it seems
Gonna watch the sun going down
I’m not gonna run from all this sadness

Who am I to decide what should be done?
If this is the end then let it come
Let it come, let it rain
Let it rain, rain all over me
Like the tide, let it go
Let it wash all over me
Over me, let it wash all over me
Over me, let it wash all over me

Ant #287. Brüderschaft.

To drink "na broodershaft" with someone is to consolidate friendship with a special ceremony when two of participants at the same time drink their glasses, for example with wine, with the hands bound in elbows. Then, most often, kiss. During the process it is necessary to look each other in eyes. From this moment participants are considered as good friends and have to address to each other on "you". Ritual comes from medieval Europe when the similar ceremony served as the proof of good intentions of the audience at a table.

According to another version the tradition to drink "na broodershaft" practiced between lovers. If a  drink of one of lovers was poisoned by another, with a kiss the poison was transferred back to the poisoner. Thus, the kiss served as the proof that drink of any of lovers wasn't poisoned.

On Wikipedia in russian: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C1%F0%F3%E4%E5%F0%F8%E0%F4%F2

It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, straight or gay, married or single, this russian tradition is for everyone in any combination!
So if you drink "na broodershaft" with someone I strongly recommend you to buy a russian vodka at first!
Have a nice drink!
^_^

Ant #283. Like A Virgin.

I just leave it here. It's amazing! <3

Ant #281. Weird charity.

Having some mixed feelings after watching the video below of a man walking across the streets and giving away money to random people. But before giving them a cash he asks them if they believe in god or not. They all said YES and got their money. The man also adds that he was sent to them by god.
So I got questions:
1) Why haven't we seen anybody who said NO? Or they all do believe?
2) And what would happen if someone said NO?
3) Is charity only for believers?
4) He got some cash and started to give it away. Why does he cover himself with "sent by god" if it was only up to him?
5) If he has this special connection to god, why isn't he Pope (or whatever)?

Even if I think that we must be very careful with charity (because it depraves people), I think it's a nice tool in a society. But in this case... Well, to me it's weird.

Probably the only think that I like in this video is that the man is giving away money to those people that work!

You can make your own opinion after watching this.

Ant #274. The past.

Weird.
All the people say that they wouldn't like to change anything in their past.
They say that this is how they live and they don't regret on anything.

Ok, good. But...
We all do mistakes. We accept them, deal with them and they leave behind.
But wouldn't you like to remove the shit out of your life?
Wouldn't you like to undo what you've done or say what you haven't said?

I swear I'd like to change a lot in my past. And who knows, maybe my life would be different. Or maybe it would be the same, but I wouldn't feel sorry.

Ant #271. Putin in Argentina.

En las próximas horas el Presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, visitará Argentina. En la actualidad Rusia es uno de los más de 70 países que penalizan la diversidad sexual. En junio de 2013 la Duma (Parlamento Ruso) aprobó la denominada "Ley Federal contra la propaganda homosexual" que restringe gravemente la libre expresión de las orientaciones sexuales e identidades de género. Sumate a la Federación Argentina LGBT y digamosle juntas y juntos a Putin: nuestro amor NO es propaganda.

В ближайшие часы Президент России Владимир Путин посетит Аргентину. В настоящее время Россия - одна из более чем 70 стран, в которых преследуются различные сексуальные предпочтения, отличные от гетеросексуальных. В июне 2013 года Государственная Дума РФ приняла так называемый "Федеральный Закон против пропаганды нетрадиционных сексуальных отношений", который серьезно ограничивает свободное самовыражение людей разных сексуальных ориентаций и половой идентичности. Присоединяйся к Аргентинской Федерации ЛГБТ и давайте все вместе скажем Путину: наша любовь - это не пропаганда!

Those who'd like to support us, can use this pictures as cover pictures on Facebook.

Ant #270. Israel vs. Palestine.

I'm sorry, but I'm tired of this shit.
Last few days I was watching many people reposting pictures of killed people in Palestine. You can say that you cannot stand it when people die, and I totally agree. But before blaming Israel you must learn at least something about this conflict.

I have a niece and a few relatives who live there. I also have many friends there. Moreover, I've been there a few times. So may I say something? Thank you!

Have you ever heard about HAMAS organization and that they are not calm until Israel is destroyed?
Did you know that all the countries around Israel support Palestine in this war giving them weapons, food and other humanitarian assistance?
Did you know that meanwhile Palestine is making plans about destroying Israel, israeli government is giving them electricity, water, food, medicines etc FOR FREE?

Now about the war itself...
Past few days Palestine sent to Israel at least 250 bombs and rockets. And only because israeli army is one of the best armies in the world they could avoid victims. Anybody of you posted something about this? Or about people having 15 seconds to find a shelter? You don't know how it feels when your niece messages you that she's all right, she found a good shelter and sitting there along with other people and it seems like explosions are really close to the place she lives.

Then Israeli army looks for rocket installations on palestinian territory to destroy them. But the point is that Hamas terrorists make them on the roofs of hospitals or on the backyards of schools or inside living districts. Coz the only thing they want is that more their own people die so they can show them on TV and say how terrible Israel is.

But even though before israeli army starts shooting, they send a few planes which drop above Palestine information lists with time and places where Hamas will be attacked, so peaceful people could find a shelter. But they don't give a damn, they need pictures.

One man said... "If palestinians loved their children more than they hate israeli ones, this war would stop a long time ago."

There are lots of palestinian arabs living in Israel and not being killed, discriminated or whatever. They live a good life, they work, build families, go to the same places where jewish people go.

Hamas "protect" palestinians from "horrible" israeli army and palestinians die. But where no one protects them (in Israel), nobody dies. Isn't it strange?

Thanx for attention!

Ant #269. Get out, yankees!

Last night while I was walking across the city I saw probably the most disgusting and ignorant thing that I've ever seen here in Argentina. The whole wall with posters saying "Get out, yankees! Get out, vultures!"
For a moment I couldn't believe my eyes. I took a picture and continued walking.
The organization that released these posters is called "Movimiento Evita" and is pro-government and pro-Kirchner.

I came home and in my head there was the only one thought... Am I still in Russia or what? What the hell happened with a democratic and tolerant country built exclusively by foreigners that came here a few centuries ago?

And suddenly I remembered...
"Economic markets are collapsing, people all over the world are suffering and people are afraid and what happens when people are afraid? They become intolerant. They start pointing the finger at other people. They say "You are the reason! You are the problem! You are to blame! Get out!" The enemy is not out there... The enemy is within!"
The woman was damn right when she first said it almost 2 years ago. This is what I see now in the place where I live.

I don't know if those people who are responsible for posters are just covering themselves with the name of Eva Peron or they really follow her lessons, but I'm pretty sure Evita would never approve this act of discrimination and ignorance. She was teaching all argentinians how to love each other, how to show their compassion, she was fighting for equal right, wasn't she? I'm glad she cannot see how her name is being used nowadays.

I always say it to russians and I guess I'm gonna start saying it to argentinians. Stop blaming other people for the problems you have! We all make our own lives and we are the only ones who are responsible for what happens in our country. If you don't like the situation with human rights, start treating people better. If you don't like the economic situation, vote for another government.

The western society is the one who gave you all the technology to print your shitty posters.
Period.

Ant #267. Still small voice.

I have just read on newsfeed that today in Russian Parliament one deputy performed asking other deputies to cancel so-called "anti-gay" law.

It was a 10-minutes long speech about current situation with Human Rights in Russia.

I'm translating a few parts of it.

This law is just too much. It's not protecting, it's discriminating.  

Shortly, every word about existing of homosexuals with no negative context now claims as gay-propaganda.

If we don't understand that people can be different, can eat different food, can build their own families, we will always be a part of the most horrible war - war in our homes. Is it a life that we want for our children?

This intolerant atmosphere raised the number of suicides, especially between teenagers who discovered their homosexuality... The law doesn't let them speak about their feelings - you call it "propaganda". But the law still do let the persecutors bully those kids, insult them, turn their lives into the hell. 

All the talks about sexual orientation of another person in modern world are unacceptable. It's not the most important thing in a human being.

Do I understand that you will deny my suggestion [about canceling the anti-gay law]? Yes, I do. Do I think that in this case my performance was pointless? No, I don't... Thank you for attention.

The full speech you can listen to here (if you understand russian).

I also don't think that this speech was pointless, even though she was supported only by 12 deputies (out of 450), but I believe it's just the beginning. The more people wake up from this nightmare life, the more tolerant we become. It's really important for all the gay-community in Russia to know that they are not alone!

Ant #265. One week in Russia.

It's been one week since I came to Russia.
June 2nd-6th I was in Moscow, now I'm at my parents home in the small provincial city where I was born.

It is quite useful experience after one year outside the country.

When I was flying to Moscow, I was preparing to feel negativity, to see sad people, I thought that when I get into Domodedovo I will throw up. But when I saw inscriptions on Cyrillics, I started smiling as an idiot and greeting everybody, feeling some looks of disapproval on myself. But I didn't care! Even if I was dying to sleep, I was glad to come back to the hometown (I wasn't born in Moscow, but I consider it as my hometown coz I feel great there). At the airport I was met by a friend, got into his car, and once we left the airport we stuck in a traffic jam. He started screaming at people and showing his middle finger to everyone. I said: "Calm down or someone's gonna kick our asses! ", he took out a gun and said: "No one fucks with us!". I said: "When did you all become that nervous? ", he replied: "It's our life!"

Next 3 days I felt this public aggression even more.  I don't know if something really happened there or it's just me after a year in Argentina.

The city itself I loved a lot! I never noticed earlier what a beautiful city I lived in. Everything in it for me was kinda ordinary, and now when I looked at it with the eyes of a tourist, I was really impressed!

Then I met my friends. Finally we had a heart-to-heart talk. One of my friend who recently was arrested on a demonstration, now prepares documents and goes to Spain. Our mutual friend will join him this fall. Two more guys (gays that live together for many years) now actively looking for a possibility of moving to Germany. I don't know if they cam manage it or not, but I wish them a good luck! Another friend, a girl (one of my best friends) wants to try to enter the university in Stockholm, she says that if it won't happen, she will come to Buenos Aires to me.

To be honest, wouldn't say that people there have a despair, no, not at all, they are not deathly scared.  I would say that in their eyes I see a kind of hopelessness (though, probably, these feelings are close in fact).

In the city where my parents live the picture was absolutely different.
If in Moscow I mostly talk to the people who have seen the world, with those who went to anti-Putin demonstrations with me, with those who doesn't divide people on white and black, straights and gays, believers and atheists, here, in province, the situation is just horrible. I'm here the third day, but I already want to leave from here. I feel very uncomfortable. Every person told me that I am a traitor, "liberal" and the intellectual lousy, and we were friends with these people since my childhood. I try to stop all discussions about Ukraine and Conchita Wurst before they begin, but people just do not stop, and they don't want to listen to me (thanks to social networks they already know my position). I feel that they were waiting for me to say to my face how much they despise me. All together.

I don't know how to survive 10 more days here, it is very sad and uncomfortable, and the worst thing is that no person shares my views or simply stands up for me when the whole crowd is screaming at me. Wherever I go, whoever I meet, whatever we talk, everything comes to the same end: lynching the tolerant me.

I never thought that in my homeland I will feel myself a foreigner.

Ant #261. V.

Isn't it cool that Katy Perry joined Madonna for the photoshoot in V magazine?
Enjoy the very HQ pictures (clickable)! ^_^

Ant #258. OMG!!!

Excitement in 3... 2... 1...
OMYGOODNESSSSSSSS!!!

Of course, nothing is confirmed and may be it has nothing to do with Madonna, but rumor has it...
Billboard has just posted a strange article that "disco is fully back in vogue" and a "shape-shifting dance legend" is about to release a brand new song! It all is a top secret for now, but they got a permission to upload a teaser.

And obviously, all the fan sites have blown!
Check it out! Sounds flawless!

Earlier today we all saw Madonna's new pictures for L'UOMO VOGUE.
This is one of them! ^_^

Madonna for L'UOMO VOGUE.

Ant #257. Sweet Conchita Wurst.

Another arguing with relatives, and now because of Conchita Wurst.

The russian society turned insane when she won Eurovision. Countless and countless posts and articles about death of Europe, about family values, about tolerance that destroys the world. On the central TV they said that "Europe has a bloody diarrhea" and that "Beard is a sign of loneliness and Apocalypse!" XDDD

And it would have been just funny, if people weren't that serious about this shit.

But what is really funny is people talking about family values in a country which is a world leader in divorces and abortions.

Hypocrites!

Ant #253. Instagram.

Probably the last person on Earth, I've finally joined Instagram.
I still don't understand the sense of sharing my pictures with people that I don't know, but I wanna try it.

The main reason is Madonna.
She uses it a lot, and with upcoming album and tour I wanna stay updated.

Another reason is rubbish-photos.
Sometimes I take interesting pictures that aren't worth to be on my facebook, so Instagram is a perfect place for them.

I hope I'm not getting bored of it soon.

Ant #252. Brazil.

2 weeks!
2 unforgettable weeks I spent there!

Why the hell didn't I go to this amazing country before? >_<

So my trip was: Rio de Janeiro -> Brasilia -> San Paulo.

RIO DE JANEIRO

1) No one speaks english there.
2) Spanish and portuguese are much more similar than I thought, so we could understand each other.
3) The weather is like a woman there, changes all the time.
4) What people say about african men (you know what I mean) is true! XD
5) Public transport is kinda expensive there. Food in restaurants is ok. Starbucks is cheaper than in Moscow, but more expensive than in Buenos Aires.
6) People in clubs remind me russians (no explanations! Who knows what I'm talking about will understand me).
7) The city itself is very nice and definitely worth to see. The landscape blew my mind!

BRASILIA

1) No one speaks fucking english! Guys, I swear, it's a touristic hell. 3 different receptionists in my hotel, 5 bus/taxi drivers, 6-10 restaurant/cafe staff, 4 museum staff and many more, and none of them spoke english!!! It's insane!!!
2) If you're a pedestrian, you'll be in trouble. This city is not for you. There's even no way to cross a street. I saw just a very few traffic lights for pedestrians.
3) Weather forecast is a pure bullshit! No match at all! AT ALL!!!
4) The city itself is absolutely unique! Definitely worth to see, at least once!

SAN PAULO

1) A very few people spoke english, but they tried anyway, and I really appreciate it.
2) Totally underrated city! Seriously, I loved it much more than Rio. )))
3) Strong strong strong cocktails everywhere! My Cosmo was just a pure alcohol.
4) Big cultural life and good night life.
5) Horrible (but not the worst) traffic.
6) Cheaper than Rio and Brasilia.

+ extra:
Probably there I felt home. I don't mean that I'd like to live there, I mean SP really reminds me Moscow... Traffic, people in rush, city structure... It was an amazing experience!

+ extra 2:
Lollapalooza is a really cool festival!
Usually I try no to attend this kind of events, but this time I didn't have a choice and I didn't regret at all! I absolutely enjoyed it!
