How are you? I think one of those postcards you bought came out way:)) We received it long time ago but I am so bad not to thank you right away. But better late than never:) The card was cute and your Russian has definitely improved. I am impressed! Soon (if not already) you will speak better Russian than me with my almost zero exposure to the language here::)) BTW, I laughed out loud when you wrote"...that staring at a computer screen is harmful to our health. Russians also believe that drinking cold beverages will make you sick, and sitting on a cold surface will make you sterile…" This is soo Azerbaijani too:) I guess it's Soviet. We all got it during the Soviet reign. You know, I still can't drink milk cold:)) To me, it just has to be warm:))))) I can't stop laughing at the "sterile" thing:)) That's what we believe in too:))))))))))))))))))))))))) Sort of you'll freeze your "parts" and won't be able to reproduce any more:)) Poka!
