Cool! Russia, the world’s largest country will be hosting the Mundial in 2018, after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2014 and Qatar, with a population of 1.7 million people

The storm is gathering and the dust has refused to settle after FIFA, the world football governing body, named Russia and Qatar the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups respectively.

The 22 members of FIFA’s executive committee - they would have been 24 had Amos Adamu of Nigeria and Reynald Temarii of Tahiti not been suspended - chose Russia over Spain/Portugal, Netherlands/Belgium and England for 2018 and Qatar ahead of the United States of America, South Korea, Japan and Australia for the 2022 World Cup.

Firstly, both countries will be hosting the world’s largest single sport competition for the first time and FIFA showed that they are ready to venture into previously uncharted territory.

Russia, the world’s largest country will be hosting the Mundial in 2018, after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2014 and Qatar, with a population of 1.7 million people, became the smallest country to be awarded the hosting rights.

Secondly, the bidding pattern showed that FIFA and other sports bodies like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) do not take the issue of human rights into consideration when awarding hosting rights. Take the instance of awarding the 2008 Olympics to China and now FIFA, awarding the 2018 World Cup bid to Russia - the major selling point is believed to be money. Russia, through President Vladimir Putin, has promised to inject over $10 billion into hosting the world in 2018 and Qatar, is known as the richest oil-rich country in the world. The Qataris have promised to provide air-conditioned stadiums so that the heat, which reaches about 50c, in summer, will be controlled.

Russian culture has a long history and tradition and Russians are very proud of it.

Russians consider themselves as a well educated nation. They read a lot, books are cheap, and one can afford to buy 5-10 books a month without serious damage to a family budget.

Russians are also big fond of live performances at theatres and since tickets are affordable (prices in cinemas and theatres are comparable), they enjoy attending theatres: opera, musical, ballet, drama etc.

Usually every city has a few theatres. The theatre culture was developed during the Soviet times when tickets were sold through schools and enterprises: cities were divided into areas and there was a theatre agent responsible for each particular area. The agent would bring tickets for distribution to every enterprise and school in his area and the person responsible for "culture sector" would organize collective visit to the theatre. I think it was an excellent system since people had the opportunity to attend theatres from the early age, starting from attending performances in a Muppet theatre, then moving to the Youth Drama Theatre, then to Drama, Musical and Opera, according to their age. Also attending performances in a company is always much more fun, which contributed to the popularity of theatres. This is how most Russian people have developed their taste for live performances.

Movie theatres are also becoming popular in Russia and they are equipped with the latest sound systems. When Russian people talk about movie theatres, they will usually say "cinema"; if they talk about "theatres", they mean live performances.

What began centuries ago in China as a way of interpreting the natural world to create more efficient agricultural systems and even study astronomy to understand the passage of time is an age old institution named Feng Shui. Through the ages feng shui (pronounced Fung Shway) has evolved due to superstition and folklore into a belief system with five distinct components: Wealth, Health, Fame, Career and Love. By understand the basics, we can control these areas of our lives by choosing meaningful symbols and images which are related to these areas and placing these objects in very specific areas of the house. The key principal here is that everything is connected energetically which means that your thoughts, feelings and behavior are influenced by your surroundings. Feng Shui masters have got this down to an art form. There are so many details and specifics of feng shui that I would highly recommend getting a book on it for your own knowledge and because it is so fascinating. What is interesting enough is that I found it to be very similar to the Wicca beliefs that are practiced in the west. There are many people who swear by the benefits of Feng Shui in the home.

Robert consulted with me because his wife, Andrea, was no longer interested in having sex with him. “Andrea says she feels objectified when we make love, and I don’t know what that means,” he stated. “I love her and I don’t think I see her as an object.”

“Well, when you want to make love to her, why are you wanting to make love? What is motivating you?” I asked.

As we explored this question, it became apparent that Robert’s desire for Andrea was generally motivated, not only by his physical need for sex, but also by his need to be validated by her and to relieve his stress. No time in his discussion with me did he say he wanted to make love to her as an expression of his love for her. At no time did he state that there were many ways he enjoyed sharing his love with her, such as time together, sharing fun, affection, cuddling. His focus in being with Andrea was in having sex with her, and if she didn’t want to, he was generally angry or withdrawn. While he professed that he was expressing his love when I asked him about it, his behavior was anything but loving.

I was in an internet cafe the other day and noticed the exchange is worth something to you.

Sitting beside me in the next cubicle computer was a very lovely lady in her mid 20's.

Since we sat so close to each other, and because there was only a small partition between the cab ... Everyone can easily see that everyone else was doing.

Now let me say Firstly, I respect people's privacy, but when you're in this situation is difficult not to see what the other person does on their computer.

Anyway, this lady was busy navigating her way through the American dating and correspondence with gentlemen who have listed their profile on the Internet.

Russian women can be incredibly hard working and disciplined when it comes to work or school.

But even in the midst of their concentration and work is still calm and confident beauty that seems to emanate from their aura.

I know it can be hard to believe ...

But you will not believe how many beautiful girls I've met here who do not believe that they look like models ...

My friend Snejana is a classic example of this.

Incredibly humble with her self-esteem and completely baffled by what I would like to beautify this blog, taking her photos.

If any of you ladies out there are interested in learning more about the beauty of the habits of Russian women, this article is for you.

We are talking about different experiences of foreign women who see Russia ladies for the first time.

It's always interesting to see how women see each other and stuff, they noticed that as a rule, can be missed by us men.

In my opinion, it just goes to further prove how uniquely different for men and women really from each other.

That foreign women working in Russia actually think about their Russian counterparts?

Foreign women have different views on the Russian beauty

It seems generally agreed that Russian women are beautiful, but the fact that foreign women living in Russia actually think about their Russian counterparts?

"Four years ago, when I first arrived in Russia, I was literally stunned at how Russian women to watch - in a positive way. Russia women take care of themselves, but there is a big difference between young and mature women. The latter is much less care about their appearance : Many older women do not care about their skin and figure, and they dye your hair in weird colors. It's Italy, it's the opposite: women over 40 look much more tidy than young women.

I was quite surprised when I stumbled upon this article, which was caused by the news of Tony Blair's sister-in-law of Islam.

It turns out that her appeal was not an isolated incident and that indeed there is a significant trend of western women in the UK, which also follow this path.

Although this article would never admit it and instead of contacts reason for the "shallow existence" in the West ..

It was quite obvious to me that what these women were actually working with a hostile dominant culture of the radical feminist who destroyed their natural identity as a woman. There is simply no sanctuary left to them that they can see, except for Islam.

I have mixed feelings about this, because on the one hand, I absolutely support their freedom of choice to achieve their own happiness .. but, on the other hand, just unfortunately means that traditionally female values of heat, and respect for the family to western women completely destroyed. 

Traditional bridges, which once supported and held the women over the water were completely burned to the ground, and now the only bridge they see on the horizon has a large crescent moon adorning it with the "hijab" dress to hide their beauty from the world.
