Food and sex: common grounds…

Think about food… all the experiences, feeling and emotions related to it...

It is known fact that human can survive about a month without eating anything at all. However, already on the second day of fasting he/she will have a strong appetite.

Let think of the reasons for starvation. Some people starve for the sake of so-called "spiritual development".. Others are forced to go hungry all the time due to their bad financial situation. Sometimes it happens that people have an appetite and money, but they just can not eat - this is commonly known disease

Also, there are two types of food: homemade (literally made at home) and everything else. Homemade, of course, is the favourite one, but sometimes it becomes annoying. We want to try something new, even taking into account that the new is likely to be worse than the taste of our so familiar and delicious homemade dish.

Now a bit about restaurants… There are different types of restaurants. Ones offer delicious food, excellent service and are very expensive. Others… if you eat there once you can spend a week in a hospital with poisoning and forswear that was the last time you dined there.

Our eating habits…. All people eat differently. Some like to take their time, others prefer to eat very quickly. Some need at least an hour for their repast. Others manage to satisfy their appetite in two minutes and when those two types are sharing a meal it can cause resentment and hurt “slow eaters”...

21st century

Nowadays we have so many different devices to make our dining experience more comfortable and enjoyable… more then 20 types of forks and spoons, chopsticks, china and etc. We have got the variety of medicines and vitamins which increase appetite and improve digestion. And, yes, whatever century we live in, an invariable attribute of hygiene are still white paper napkins...!

Clever one Anna! ;)
There is one more to add up: Although some people know what food is healthy for their wellbeing and soul, they go for junk food, or bitter taste which give them pain in long term!

Whats common with sex?
Cannot agree with you that one. For me sex is much more complicated issue. You sound like this old joke "10 reasons why beer better then women" ...you know... "Your beer will wait you in the car while you buy more beer" and "Beer has a fixed price". IMHO its oversimplification. But its good to know that you are like homemade food but like to go to restaraunts:P

Viva Brazil

The Christmas and New Year Eve were truly remarkable for me this year as I spent it in fantastic and mesmerising Brazil. My friend Caio was my guide there and as a native he could show me the best of Brazil: not only the touristic parts but also the whole beauty of small towns and suburbs, everyday life, traditions and culture. Considering that not many people speak English there I am so grateful to Caio for making this trip so amazing and stress free for me. Multifaceted and colourful Brazil is known for its nature, culture and rich history. In Brazil you can experience everything from architectural monuments of the colonial era, lively carnivals to  simply   a delicate aroma of coffee floating in the air. Among of all beautiful places Rio De Janeiro surely holds is pr imary position for me. Noisy, picturesque and ever bubbling Rio attracts by its excellent sandy beaches, luxurious hotels, unique sights and state-of-the-art architecture. To visit the city of all B...

Uzbekistan: reforms to privatization and commercialization and all the way back to command economy

Uzbekistan's transition to market relations determined the state policy in forming and development the class of real property-owners, but in recent years the government decided that this system doesn’t work for Uzbek society. On the first stage of reforms the government was working towards the privatization of state housing fund, small and medium trade enterprises, service, light and food industries, transport and construction.

Last, the privatization of industrial giants such as fuel and energy complex, chemical, metallurgical and machine-building industries is conducted, and it's carried out with wide attraction of foreign capital.

Still under impression from Budrus....

On Saturday I went to Curzon for premiere of Budrus in the UK– an award-winning feature documentary about peaceful resistance as a means of Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolution. To say it was good means to say nothing. It is excellent film, which makes you see behind all these sensational news headlines, shows the conflict on a local level and how it affects people’s lives. Even though I am from Uzbekistan, living in the UK and the problems in the Middle East are far away from me, the film made me feel sensitive about the issue, made me empathize… The plot of the film is unarmed movement organised by Palestinian, Ayed Morrar, who united local Fatah and Hamas members along with Israeli supporters to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel’s Separation Barrier. At the end of the premiere filmmaker Julia Bacha told the audience about the process of filming, main characters and their lives today, about Budrus and issues the other Arab villages facing today, about non-viole...
