Which foreign countries would you like to visit? Frankly speaking, I’d like to visit almost every part of the world, in other words I’d like to go globe-trotting. I’d love to see many countries in the Far East, especially Japan as I’m keen on Japanese culture and its way of life. I’d love to see all the European countries as they are the center of our history and civilization. I’ve already been to the US but there is still more to explore. Canada with its calm and moderate way of life and snowy weather is one of the coziest countries to stay at. I’ve been to Istanbul and it was a great experience, and I’d love to see it at least once more. The great Constantinople as it was deserves to be seen again and again. I must say that it’s also about cross-cultural relations … I mean my desire to meet people of other cultures and get to know them better can also be the reason of choosing one country or another.
Which parts of your own country would you like to visit one day? Since I prefer travelling by car, the first thing I did when I got one, is a plan of my tour around Belarus. This tour includes all the historically and culturally important centers of our country like Turov, Polotsk, Nesvij and so on. The knowledge that is kept in the walls of these towns is irreplaceable. All the sights and archeological monuments, traditions and customs share the unforgettable experience with you. There are also some places on my map that are just beautiful and picturesque like Braslavski Lakes, for example. Shakespeare once said, “I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.” Our country is very unique in its history and possesses an impressive natural beauty so I suppose even the smallest little piece of its land is worth seeing it.
Describing people – Appearance.
What is your ideal of a handsome man or a beautiful woman?
I must say that I’ve actually never thought about it. I do like to see pretty people and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a man or a woman but I think everyone has something special about their appearance which is why I don’t like the word “ideal”. Nevertheless, I do have to speak about it now, so I will just describe you my boyfriend (husband) as an ideal of a handsome man as even though we’ve been together for so long, he still attracts me very much. So… To my mind, a handsome man should first of all be good-looking, charming and nice. He should be tall, no less than 185 centimeters, and well-shaped (slim I mean). I don’t mind if he’s a bit of a gym rat. His face should be round and have a spotless silky creamy complexion. His eyebrows should be thick, eyes should be blue and deeply-set. As for the nose, I prefer a straight one. His lips should be full and sensual. And one of the most important things is his hair. It should be fair, a bit long, not parted and straight. And I also hate to see any other kinds of hair on the body – there should be no mustaches, beards, goatees or sideburns. This also concerns chest, back and armpits of course.
