Sleep for free!

A lot of my friends have never heard of site called couchsurifing.com. I would like to devote a today's post to sharing my knowledge about this type of hosting. 

Firstival it will be necessary to emphasis that this is the cheapest way to sleep over in the foreign country. What is more, you sleep at somebody's home, not in a garden, in a cellar or in a squat ;) 

You choose the person, at whom you would like to stay for some time. It is in your interest to ask, in which conditions are you going to sleep, whether you'll have your own room, or will you divide a room with 5 couchsurfers. 

I have spent 2 wonderful weeks in Paris, living with a French girl named Marine. She had a very cute dog and I was helping her with him. It was my gratitude to her for such a nice welcome. 

Thanks to this site I didn't pay an enormous quantity of money for my stay in Paris. I have met a lot of people from Europe, Asia and Africa (they were living at Marina's at the same time). I have practiced my French and English, I have discovered Paris from the different angle. 

But! In spite of the advantages, you have to be really careful, because there can be a few weird and unpleasant people. So you should be picky enough. 

Have a nice trip! ;)

The Master and Margarita

In the first half of the 20th century Mikhail Bulgakov created a unique book which has set people  to think of sense and its implication. Its uniqueness consists of the untypical plot and satirical style. 

Five years ago it was my first encounter with the book. At that time I didn't quite understand  where is that intention and what exactly Bulgakov wanted us to know or to comprehend. 

It is spring out there now and I felt that it's excelent time to come back to this book, to enjoy the reading and try to understand what I didn't catch las time. 

I'm only halfway finished. I should admit that at age 21 some things are becoming more obvious than when you're a teenager, but this book still hides a lot of mysteries from me. This is one of the book which is always new for you every time you read it. It is surprisingly wonderful ! I like Bogakov's style, it's so deep, enriching and satirical at the same time. Every his work (story or novel) possesses an extraordinary, deep plot, which has references to the past or to the present (f.ex AD 20-30th and 1930th in this particular novel). 

I'm really curious about my impression of the book five or ten years later...
