Why does it have to be like that?

Hi,

Well first things first, my computer is back, so I will keep you posted more often! Surprisingly enough this time the whole repair process took only a week! WOW! I am amazed!

So today I wanna talk about relationships. Lets look at friendship first. Whenever you have a friend, it is pretty cool to hang out with and you might invite other friends for it to be more fun. Or you might pick a new friend and your old friend will also become friends with the new friend. So basically you can have a lot of friends and everything is cool. Now lets look into dating and marriage. Surprisingly(for me) the same rules do not apply here, although the nature of the relationships is very similar! Having one girlfriend and picking up one more at the same time sounds like trouble and not something good to do! Now I wanna know why? Why is it ok to hang out with many people but not ok to kiss with many people? Please don't get me wrong, I do think, that one should only have one girlfriend at a time, but I don't understand, why? Why does it have to be like that?

Your suggestions are very welcome!

Buying Groceries

Hello!

Today we are going to explore cultural differences while buying groceries in USA vs Ukraine. Two things come to my mind.
In Ukraine: Lets say, you want to buy salami and there is about 400 grams(1 pound) left then you will not be allowed to buy 300 grams (10 ounces) because the remaining 100 grams (3 ounces) could not be sold to anyone! So it is either all or nothing!
In USA: you can buy as much as you want and most of the time if you want to buy half pound the deli guy will politely ask whether 0.55 pound is ok or not.

In USA: I was pushing my cart and accidentally push the stand with gums and a lot of them fall on the floor and it made a big mess. One of the guys immediately came and said he will take care of this.
In Ukraine: If this was ever to happen in Ukraine I am sure you would be shouted at and explained what an asshole you are.

Stay in touch!

HP Sucks!

Hi!

Sorry guys I know it has been a while since I my last post but I do have an explanation, although it is not such a good one :( My computer is broken, again for the third time since September. I still have the warranty from HP, but that is a 90 day limited warranty, that they give after the repair. Because of that HP won't replace my computer, so I have to wait until it will be repaired again! What a hassle, life is sooooo boring in the USA without computer! Also no offense but calling HP support to India sucks! The connection is not good ! I spent 40 minutes talking to them (mostly on hold) and no result, in the end of the day I am going back to Staples they will take it and send to HP!

P.S. I am writing this post as I am on hold with HP and using computer in Bentley library!

I'll keep you posted!

Giant iPod

Hi!

With Mac World going on here is their new invention, now I personally think it is dumb, it is like a laptop with a giant wheel, which makes it a huge iPod. How long will you spend to type something, scrolling that wheel is not fun! So here it is (if looking from email click on the blog):

Similarities & Differences

Hi Reader!

Believe it or not but eating chocolate can be educational! Below you can see the message :

"Share our similarities, celebrate our differences"

I think it is a great quote! We all feel warm about people who are similar to us:

• being in the USA, we feel happy when we meet people who are from the same country or speak the same language
• when we meet people who are the same major as we are
  
• we feel happy with people who share the same interests like sports, gaming or reading, etc.
• the list can go on and on...

However, so far I haven't been able to leverage the differences. I just disagree, feel it is weird or even worth - fight. How do you handle differences or similarities ? Tell me!

I'll keep you posted!
