LET’S GREET EACH OTHER PROPERLY

We are learning many things as we live in developed society. But most importantly we need to learn the proper greeting now that we’re among civilized people.

Specially, when we first meet someone, we hardly ever say our name, and just shake hands. Sometimes girls only save strangers number, regarding to his or her financial success, and what he or she does for living. I think that’s breaking the tradition. You can only see two guys sitting next to each other, exchange snuff, and talking about weather and such on TV.

I have met a lot of people, living in Russia and in the US. Some were nice, some were not so friendly. I personally believe there are more good people than the bad. I mean of there’s no point of alienating yourself from others and feel lonely. It just puts in mind prison.

I think we should all greet each other with respect, no matter what they do for living or what they drive. So let’s just we proper greeting and we use it in our beautiful Mongolian language.

THANKS, MY FRIEND...

We went to the beach, and saw the Pacific ocean. I feel the night's easy breeze, her smell is like a queen's perfume. Everything is swimming in the fog, the top of the great Bay Bridge is hiding amongst million stars, the black night blankets wonderful down town San-Francisco.
The madam moon sometimes looks at her transparent self water of the ocean, when the waves come, the moon hides into the deep fog.
I'm very happy, the easy wind smooths my cheeks and plays with my hair. The ocean's mist is like a little rain. Half stars are falling from the sky to down town. Some brilliant stars decorate the Bay Bridge. The big waves blanket the great stones, this sounds like the symphony.
We admire this for a half hour, but I know that we need to go.
I'll never forget this day. Thanks, my friend, for showing me a wonderful night.
