In Russian the word for vodka is very similar to the word for water. водка (pr: vohdka) vs. воды (pr: vohdih)
(Russian doesn't have a "W" in its alphabet and as far as I can tell doesn't have a "W" sound either. Unless you're speaking Ensign Chekov Russian.
However, I'm only a beginner at Russian so I may be wrong and if so I would love to hear why. 
) Note they do have a breathy "V" sound, i.e. their "B" letter when followed by an "O", as in the two examples above.
I spent an entire semester listening to a mathematics professor go on about wectors and their properties.
Soooooo... sorry for the long waiting time... I just heard from my Nan that she has recieved postcards and just at the right time too since she was sick and could really use that joy :)
I have not seen them myself since my Nan lives quite a bit away from me, but I hope I can visit her soon and too take a look at them. ^^
She's really happy knowing that such lovely people still exist in this "not right anymore" world that would send postcards just to bring joy to a stranger like her. So thank you a lot! You brightend her day - I'd even say her life. Since she's constantly worrying about all her family - like Nans all around the world do, I guess, especially in these times in which the news seem to inch closer to what she already lived through, every day - recieving this mail really means a lot, I think. Maybe I make more of it than it is, I am a bit emotional... but then again: I'm of her blood, so... there, nyah :D
Again... Thank you for the cards! I'm just gonna go pop into the PMs now and repeat my emontionalness :)
Glad they arrived
Thanks, BlazeMystEra, for letting us know that the cards arrived. I had begun to wonder whether something basic was wrong such as the address or an evil neighbour killing all the postmen and stealing the mail. It was a very easy and small request of yours so thanks for your words of thanks!
To others who posted various thoughts, thanks too. Some posted remarks as a reply to things I wrote - apologies for not replying straight away - I thought I'd be able to get back before this.
To SpottedKitty - I showed the 'tame' dancing as a contrast to the semi-barbarian image the other performers like to adopt. As long as each group enjoys what they do in their dancing and music, its fine by me. I laughed at the image of you twirling a partner across the room - somehow I thought of Olive from the Popeye cartoons dancing with the big guy (Bluto?).
The BBC has a channel here in Scotland which broadcasts programs in the Gaelic language. These vary from documentaries about doctors on the Amazon or the assasination of Kirov to Island-based soaps. However, Scottish music, poetry and folklore are usually the main topics. The people are generally very conservative and restrained in their behaviour so it can be fascinating to see the local rock bands perform - they all look so well-behaved and normal but are possibly seen by older folk as just a little too wild. Imagine - dyed hair or a small tattoo! (That's my perception, anyway).
The program listings are in Gaelic which I don't understand - there's nothing latin-based or related to the main European languages (I believe). But it's funny to read all these -to me- meaningless words describing a program and then see a warning to viewers that it contains strong language (swearing).
Tourists to Scotland can hear tales of violence, warfare, murders and rivalry between clans from the old days. Many places have such tales associated with them. Near to where I live there is a monument commemorating a victory over some Viking invaders, for example. Yet the clan chiefs were often educated in London or abroad. They could generally speak French at least and understood Latin. A strange mixture.
Having said all that, I need to add that I'm definitely not trying to brag in any way about Scotland - I've enjoyed the scenery during many hikes and climbs in the mountains and often been battered by terrible storms in the process. But we all have a nationality we can tell others about and I envy those who live in so many other great parts of the world which I will probably never see.
