Russian

I'm delighted that you came, thank you very much. It's great pleasure to have you here, and I'm very grateful to you for coming here for making this big effort, cause all I've got to do is just turn up sober. So I'm rather obligated to you for being here right now, guess I'll do whatever takes to keep you entertained.

Nowadays, when you heard a Russian voice in Hollywood movie, it most likely to be a villain, he'll has a scar starts from here, [right eye brow] it goes over his face, over all the furnitures in his apartment out to the street. He doesn’t have a left hand, he'll just has a blender or something. And all he says is “Since I come to your country, it’s very easy for me make bomb, from oatmeal packet and dead cat, hahaha~”

I learnt about Russians from films, obviously. But Hollywood presentation tend to be very very stereotypical, always same. The Russian man in film likely to be... you know... bad guys experts of making bombs. He'd have a scar that goes from the left eye that goes all the way across the face. And left hand is a blender, or a hook, or something. And he goes "It's very easy for me to make bomb because Americans are so stupid, they spend all time play baseball and eating hamburger."

Most of the time, in English speaking countries, we have very little information about Russians. Cause all we really have is some literature in history, some movies, and the movies are not very reliable, so the best way I found to figure out about Russians is to speak to a Russian person, to see what they like.

The images of people is in movies nowadays is so categorised.

The Slavic languages is quite different to Romans language, very mysterious. I was Moscow a while back, I thought I know couple of Russian words, cause I find myself saying “Moshna chai?” "Can I get cup of tea?". And the guy come up to me goes, "@#$%^&*……!@#$%^&*…… “ And then they give me a shoe.

English can understand a little bit of most Romans languages. You know, French, Spanish, or Germany. But the Slavic languages, your language is very mysterious, quite enigmatic in a way. I was in Russia recently. I thought I have couple of words in Russian expression, cause I found myself saying “Moshna chai?” you know, from what I've been told it means "Can I have cup of tea?". And then people come up to me and they go, "@#$%" And then they give you a shoe.

There're so much to talk about Russian right now, especially in Europe, and the world, and so on. But most of the time, in the West, people have very little information about Russian. All people really have is some literature in history, some movies for example, but movies are not very reliable.
