Our Big World



As a history and geography lover there is little surprise I'm fascinated with cultures and languages from other countries. In this section of the blog I want to share my discoveries and knowledge of other countries with you, as well as fun words I learn in other languages and cool animals that come from other countries! My interest lies in the Eastern and Northern parts of Europe, but from time to time I'll post about things I've learned about other places in the world. From Dala horses in Sweden to Ushankas in Russia, the Protest Pig of Denmark or the tiny country of Monaco, even to the far stretches of Mexico, India, the Middle East and little islands like the Faroes or the Cayman Islands. Some of what I write will be totally based off of my research alone, while other posts will be from personal experiences of people who've traveled there or- even better yet- lived there.
I love our beautiful, big world and I want to explore it someday. Though travelling hasn't been made possible for me yet, why not learn what I can and experience other cultures through books and people I meet?

 So come along with me to explore the amazing world we live in and find out what it's like in other countries!
Treasures from around the world!

    I think I'll enjoy this section. While my geography is (trust me) horrible, I love new cultures.

Polyushko Polye: A Song With a History

Image
I promised you all I would let you hear the real Russian song, Polyushko Polye, so here it is! in Crylic it's  Полюшкo Поле. Earlier I got a request from one of the readers for the sheet music because she couldn't find it online, so it you would like to find the sheet music you have to write in Russian полюшко поле ноты для пианино, which literally translates as "Field my field (or meadowland) notes to piano". You won't find the sheet music in English, but the notes are the same no matter what language you speak. ;D  I'd like it to be noted that this song has been around for a long  time now (1933) and since then it has gone through several spelling and name changes changes. So here are the lists of known names for this song.

It's About Time...For an Update!

Goodness I expected to blog so much more after I got married because I thought my life would slow down. Nope, I was wrong. XD Heelloooo blog readers! Long time no see! So, where to begin on updates? Right after our first kiss! Rifka and Lina! Lucas and I got married on February 2nd and have now been happily married for eight months to the day. We have moved once since we've gotten married and have acquired two new family members---Rifka our Karelian Bear Dog/Shetland Sheepdog mix and Lina, our crazy tri-colored tabby with far too much energy for a normal cat! Over the last eight months, I have been sick with the flu, mono, and countless colds and sinus infections but since seem to be on the rise with better health, a huge praise! Lucas was promoted at his job and is now a foreman, and enjoys making jokes about how unbearably hard and cruel of a foreman he is. (Lucas being bossy is the farthest thing from his personality as could be humanely possible.) Lu...
