After all you have a job, that is the thing these days, be patient for a while as new job opportunities will come along for you let alone you are successful in so many ways with your life with great friends and no particular difficulties with language. You do not feel a foreigner let alone being foreigner is not a bad thing at all.
Underneath all differences we are all humans.
I presume you have Skype phone connected to your laptop so you speak with ease with your US friends and can see them as well during talk on camera.
In short you are in for a wonderful life.
Do not be afraid.
The conflict portrayed is of little interest - no sane person regardless of sex has friends not up to the honour.One does make mistakes however and having to live with that is hard cheese for many of us.
Let alone discover that one´s most undignified friend is oneself.
Strongly recommend going back to the great classics now and then: Thoughts by Pascal, Confessions by Augustinus, The happy Science by Nietzsche, anything by Giono.
Of all silly remarks this beats them all: having a Czech look.
There is no such thing.
Scandinavian yes, but Czech never ever.
If you really care to check the European races do remember that nursery rhyme The Three Races by British writer Belloc who like all true British of his generation never liked anyone from the continent be it Czech or German or Austrian,Hungarian,
Polish you name it they are all the Alpine race.
1. Behold my child the Nordic man
And be as like him as you can
His legs are long, his mind is slow
His hair lank and made of tow.
2. And here we have the Alpine race
Oh what a broad and foolish face
His skin is of a dirty yellow
He is a most unpleasant fellow
3. The most degraded of them all
The Mediterraneans we call
His hair is black and even curls
And he is saucy with the girls.
I have for a long time wondered why the way of shopping at IKEA has not inspired television series.
There is no place like it for getting lost for hours.
Let alone the cruel IKEA way of keeping the Swedish names for the displayed objects.
Living in France I take no small pleasure in listening to the
French breaking their teeth on the stone hard nouns of Vikings.
Yet once they understand Swedes pronounce the alphabet as they do themselves (unlike the Englishspeaking world) they also
take rather a fancy to the Swedish food served in the IKEA restaurant.
Très cool.
Do remember that a gentleman is a patient wolf.
why is it that some men cannot stop staring at women and then comment in thick books as this pretentious Mann after all she was more than that.
It may be so that she does not sell when presented as an actress but this is her profession and a respectable one at that and achieved through endless support by Richard Burton. Her Kate in their production of Twelfh Night is very wonderful and best of all their marvellous acting in Who´s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, black and white movie that everyone interested in acting should have on the DVD shelf at home.
The tremendous work behind it - does that have no value?
And how much it meant to both of them and why was it not continued? Those are questions that Mann is not professional enough to be able to attention.
One might remind the reader how exploited Taylor has been throughout her life by people like Mann.
