Minimalism
Minimalism is something that I've been drawn to for months now. I like the idea of living with less. However, I can't get rid of things because I live with my family and I will continue to do so for several years while I study and get I job. Fortunately, I can still choose what to do with my belongings, but it's still hard.
I think the most problematic area is my closet. I have lots of clothes. Most of them I don't even like. Half of it once belonged to my sister. I don't really like buying clothes, so much of what I have has been gifted to me. I don't like it when someone gives me clothes, specially if I can't go to the store and change it for something that I like better. I'm very picky when buying and I don't like having things I don't like and I know I will never wear.
When I declutter my closet and decide to donate a part of my clothes, my family thinks I'll be left with no clothes and that we'll need to go shopping. I would really like to start over with my closet and only buy items that I'll definitely wear, but that's not possible.

申请中国的签证需要哪些材料。
以前俄罗斯人办理中国的签证比较简单。比如说为了办理M签证，我只要提供填写的申请表格，工作证明书（），护照和照片。M签证也可以代办。我不用到现场办理。申请以后要大概两个星期，就能拿到。
办理工作签证比较难。我需要提供毕业证明书，工作经历证明书，无刑事犯罪记录证明，护照和照片。我也要进行身体检查。那时候我在一个小城市工作。那边没办法办理工作签证。我的经理说我要去深圳派出所办理。她也派一个男的陪我去。她说，那个男的会帮你，因为他知道怎么处理这个问题。
到了派出所以后，那边的一位员工告诉我们，国内无法办工作签证。我要去香港才行。
所以我们去边境口岸，但是找不到办签证的地方。那个男的说，你要一个人去香港，然后回来才能找到那个地方。我就听他的安排，但还是找不到那个地方。幸亏一位边境口岸的员工告诉我，我重新要去香港，但回来的时候，不要办回来的手续，才能找到那个地方。那时候我都气死了。我觉得那个男的一点也没有帮我，什么也没有解释给我。他陪我干嘛？完了以后我告诉我的经历，以后我再不想见到那个男的。

Farines animales
Faudrait-il accepter la réintroduction des farines animales pour nourrir des animaux d'élévage. Telle est la problématique par un article de Le Monde et un autre du site bfmtv.com en 2013.
L'autorisation des farines animales dans le secteur d'élevage provoquent de nombreuses préoccupations chez les Français. C'est le thème qu'abordent un article paru sur Le Monde et Marc Pédeau dans un article sur le site bfmtv.com. Ces documents nous présentent d'abord le retour de ces produits à travers la décision de la Commission Européenne, ensuite les causes et enfin les réactions des Français.
Tout d'abord, les documents évoquant l'autorisation des farines animales pour élever les poissons, puis les porcs et les volailles dans les pays européens. Cette décision pourtant provoque de nombreuses réactions ainsi des critiques chez le majorité des pouvoirs publics de la France. En réalité, cette pratique a été interdite en Europe en 1997 à cause de la crise de la vache folle, ce qui amène les consommateurs qui ont mangé des steaks infectés, à subir des maladies dangeureuses.
En outre, ils trouvent que faire avaler des animaux d'élevage par ces aliments non seulement est illogique dans la chaine alimentaire mais aussi abuse de la confiance des clients à des fins commercials.
Toutefois, les objectifs de cette autorisation sont principalement liés à la réduction de la pression sur des cultures végétales, à la réutilisation des protéines encore consommables ainsi qu'au prix avantageux de ces produits. D'ailleurs, la Commission affirme la sécurité de nouvelles farines sans utiliser des cadavres d'animaux malades.
En somme, la réintroduction de ces aliments suscite des opinions contradictoires de la part des pays européens, surtout la France revendiquant la tracabilité de ces nouvelles aliments afin de faire connaître les clients.

Was bedeutet Banana Republic?
Natürlich weiß ich, dass es der Name einer Lade ist, aber es hat auch eine andere Bedeutung. Bevor ich es über das Internet suche, versuche ich zu erklären, was mir einfallt, wenn ich diesen Ausdruck lese oder höre.
Banna Republic ist vielleicht ein Name, der einen Vorurteil mit sich bringt. Er wird benutzen, um einen paar Länder zu nennen. Diese Länder sind warme, neben dem Äquator liegenden Länder, aber nicht nur. Es scheint mir, dass dieser Ausdruck benutzt wird, um Länder zu beschreiben, wo die Regierung nicht stabil ist. Länder, wo der Präsident tut und lasst, was er will, zum Beispiel.
Diese Länder sind normalerweise Länder, wo das Klima tropikal (oder besser Regenklima?) ist und deswegen benutzt man das Wort Banana. Diese Woche haben wir alle aber dieses Wort in einem anderen Zusammenhang gehört. Manche Politiker haben gesagt, dass die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika eine Banana Republic wegen des Sturmes des Kapitols aussieht.
Es gibt nur eine Person, die verantwortlich dafür ist und wir alle wissen, wie er heißt. Er hat das organisiert. Nicht nur hat er diese Menschen "eingeladen", sondern auch hat er absichtlich die Polizei des Kapitols reduziert, damit es möglich gewesen wäre, dass seine Anhänger es tun könnte. Es gibt nicht genügende Wörter, um das zu beschreiben. Das ist ein Vergehen und er muss dafür bestraft werden, egal ob jetzt oder nach dem 20ten Januar.

Japanische Ambient-Musik
Ich mag Ambient-Musik. Ich habe kürzlich viel von diesem Genre gehört und glaube die Japaner haben es perfektioniert. Ich habe mit einem Album von Hiroshi Yoshimura angefangen und dann hörte ich Takashi Kokubo, Shiho Yabuki und so weiter. Es gibt sogar eine sehr interessante argentinische Gruppe namens "The Kyoto Connection", die ich wirklich toll finde. Die Musik gefällt mir sehr wegen der Naturgeräusche, etwas das selten in meinem Leben ist. Als diese Art von Musik zu produzieren begann in der 80er Jahre, was sie nicht beliebt. Aber heutzutage kann man sogar den Einfluss von kankyō ongaku auf moderne Alben oder Filmen bemerkt.

Recently I have been staying home because of the terrible COVID-19 situation in Italy. I usually get up at 8 to 9am, and I don't necessarily eat breakfast. The key is to see if I am hungry, but generally I don’t eat. I am a university student. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our lessons have changed to online lessons, so if I have a lesson one day, I will open my computer to have it. If there are no lessons one day, I will open YouTube to learn Chinese or Japanese. Afterwards, I will play on my computer all day long and review some language learning cards. I usually watch videos until 10 or 11pm and then I am sleepy, so I usually go to bed during this period of time. Before I go to bed, I like watching some news on my phone, especially the news about the current COVID-19 situations.

One of my winter projects is to thoroughly repair my motorcycle. The first thing I need to do is to remove the crankshaft bolts. The bolts are too tight and the wrench is not suitable because it is too long. In the end, I have to borrow some smaller tools from my son. Now I successfully removed the bolts, and I am able to continue to work.

Curry Udon
I'll introduce one of the somewhat dangerous foods in Japan. The name is Curry Udon, whose soup is curry taste. Udon is one of the Japanese noodles, and it is thick and elastic. Additionally, the soup is curry color, brown, so you often make stains on your clothes when you eating. This is because the noodles scatter the soup when they're lifted up by chopsticks. If you're wearing a white shirt, you shouldn't eat Curry Udon.

C новым годом
Я надеюсь что в 2021 году могу делать много интересные вещи.
Я собираюсь шить новые одежды. У меня есть много ткань. Мне нужно новое платье. Я хочу оранжевое платье. Оранжевый - счастый цвет.
Я хочу изучить больше русский язык. И тоже хочу изучить франузский язык. Когда я начала учить русский, забыла много французские слова. Сейчас, я должна изучить их снова.
Мне интересно генеалогия. Моя библиотека дает беcплатный доступ в ancestry.com (из компютера дома - потому что коронавирус). Хочу найти откуда моя семья.

An interesting conversation
In terms of interesting conversations I have ever had, I would say I had so many interesting conversations, among which impressed me most was daily talking with one of my friends. Actually, he is not my friend, but a person I know from a language-learning app. He is a highly well-formed young boy and every time I try to strike up a conversation, he can easily catch up with what I want to topic. He seems to know everything and can always surprise me. The last conversation we had was about the history of Jews and I just told him what I know about Jews, the timeline of their history. But he can get into detail even how many tribes they had in 5000 years ago, the feud between Jews and Egypt and how Jews were exiled. The reason why I think this conversation fascinates me is that I can learn a lot of knowledge from this conversation. In China, some social media is not available, so what I can get online is limited and full of bias. But he can inform me of something new. Another thing is that he is funny and the way he speaks always make me laugh.

El lugar donde vivo
Vivo en una ciudad pequeña en alemania. Està en el sur de alemania a cerca de Munich. Hay dos universidades donde puedes estudiar muchos ciclos de estudios como la silvicultura, la arquitectura de paisajes o la industria cervecera. Además hay algunas iglesias que son viejos y muy grande. El centre de la ciudad es muy bonito por que hay pocos edificios que son hermosos y cada miercoles z sabado hay un mercado, donde los campesinos de los alrededores vender muchos diferentes verduras, frutas, quesos, carne y muchas otras cosas. Desgraciadamente no hay muchos bares.

I am preparing to attend the graduate exam and I am not confident enough to pass it. I think it is not enough although I study for four hours every day. In order to decrease my pressure, my good friend took me to go have fun. That day, she forced me not to think about the exam and the only thing I should do is have fun. The city we live in is close to the sea, so we first watched the sunrise. Although I used to enjoy getting up late, the sunrise is very worth me getting up early. After watching the sunrise, we went shopping downtown. All that day, she bought me gifts and treated me to meals. Next time, I want to repay her three times as she did. That day she told me a story about her trip with her boyfriend. This time, they traveled to Thailand, the Philippines and Japan. From the picture shot in Thailand that she touched an elephant. You could see that she was a little scared. They were very excited during their trip. Every time we meet up, we are really happy. I really don’t know how I can have such a good friend, and I don’t know how to express these joyful feelings.

Roscón de reyes
Este año mi novio y yo hemos tardado mucho en hacer el roscón de reyes. El año pasado, lo hicimos la noche del 5 de enero y estaba listo justo a medianoche. ¡Fue tan grande que casi no quedó en el horno! Estuvo listo justo a medianoche. Mi novio lo colocó encima de hojas de papales decoradas y dejó un mensaje para mis compañeras de piso.
El año pasado, mi novio había traído agua de azahar y levadura fresca desde España, pero este año, tuvo que buscar una nueva botella. Llamó a tres sitios antes de encontrar una tienda que la vendía. De hecho, la dueña nunca había usado agua de azahar en un roscón de reyes. Siempre lo usaba para tratar las cefaleas.
Hemos estado cansados esta semana y al final empezamos a hacer el roscón la noche del 6 de enero. Pusimos dentro una moneda y un albaricoque (en vez de la alubia). No tuvimos suficiente tiempo para fermentar y hornearlo así que lo dejamos fermentar en la nevera durante la noche. En la mañana, lo puse en el horno con un sartén de agua caliente para fermentarlo un poco más y aumentar la temperatura de la masa. Poco después de que incendiamos el horno, la cocina empezó a oler genial.
A toda mi familia les encantó el roscón. Comieron el roscón entero, salvo el trozo con el albaricoque (que guardaban para mi, jaja).

Yesterday, I had a video call with my friend. We haven’t had video calls for ages. I was very happy because I had finally seen her. She asked me how my day was and any changes for me recently. I told her that I didn’t get along well with my roommate and often quarreled. I think the key problem is that we didn’t know each other well. There have been many misunderstandings since we first met, so they affected our relationship. From her behavior, I know exactly that she dislikes me. For example, last month our water rent exceeded 300 USD. It’s too expensive. I came up with a saving money method and it is so easy. I told my roommate that maybe we can reduce our bath time and remember to turn off tap after brushing our teeth. What do you think?She didn’t say a word and with an impatient expression on his face, and then left our apartment. My friend comforted me and said that alright, sometimes, no matter if you are kind or not, there is someone who dislikes you. You can’t change their thoughts, and just be your ideal self.

La Veneno
Hoy comencé a ver el primer episodio de "Veneno" por HBO España. La serie se trata de Cristina Ortiz Rodríguez, conocida como La Veneno, una de las figuras LGBT más conocidas e importantes de la historia española. Ella era la primera mujer trans que se popularizó en el país peninsular tras ser reconocida como un personaje de personalidad única. Una entrevista con ella, que trataba de su trabajo como prostituta, se estrenó en "Esta noche cruzamos el mississippi", un programa de la televisión que era lo más visto del país en los años noventa. Aunque todavía no he visto como la historia se desarrollará, el primer episodio a mí me llamó la atención mucho y es probable que siga viéndola.
