September 1

[mendeleyev]

As mentioned in the tread about what makes Russia so interesting, if you have a friend or relative in the FSU that has a child beginning school on 1 September, it would be nice to send them a free Internet card to celebrate what is called the "Day of Knowledge" and "First Bell."

It is all the same day, but can be called different terms: 1 September (1 Сентября), is the traditional Первый звонок ("First Bell/Call") and День Знании ("Day of Knowledge").

Even on Saturday, 1 September is the first day of school this year across the FSU. So here is the link for sending a card: http://www.badi.ru/eng/events-125.htm


If you have a friend in Moscow, 1 September is this year's celebration of the "Day of Moscow" marking Moscow's 865th birthday. A card is appropriate for that also. Moscow is combining school and city events this year so that students show up at school but are released early to enjoy the city celebrations.

Universities across the FSU also open on 1 September.

That's a conflict of interest!

Newjason, I assume your avatar is a photo of your wingsuit, but it looks more like some electrical plug to me . Maybe you should replace it with one showing you wearing it .

Sandro, it is a fork doing the "cool" sign.

I've seen quite a few "artists" doing this kind of sculptures.

I see now, thanks - central tines bent because he was too close to a rock while having a flying breakfast?

Here that sign:

has a different meaning: ward off the evil eye, or a cuckold .

Oh, I know exactly what you are talking about.

El que nace para cabron, del cielo le caen los cuernos.

Exactamente, pero eso es algo que parece ser comprendido solamente en los paises latinos .
