Cute Russian girl we met on that day
That's a beatiful day and beatiful scenery there. We met a cute little girl on that day. The little girl was not afraid of strangers. Afer chated, I known she come from Russia and went there with her mother. Western parents always exercise child's body, so they often take their childern go outsid to contact with nature, some times hiking, somtimes fishing or sporting.
As my before trading job, I sometimes heard my college tald to me Russians are good at fighting, don't let them feel loose or you can't get your deal. Accually, I never care about that. I check from Wikipedia that Russia is a multi-ethnic country, in severe cold , foreign people often invade and want to occupye their territory. Russians are not to like war, as they have no choise to train themselves for only protect their family even country. Eastern shouldn't talk about the the joke of Russians are good fighting. I think we are sorry about that. We sould repect every people from any country and treat every people friendly. That's our Taiwanes spirit and coultrue.
