How are you? How was your weekend? I hope all is well. Today I have
had a difficult day, but now i'm free and I can spend my time writing
you. Today it is cloudy outdoors that's why I am in a lyrical mood. By
the way I'm sorry for my previous letter. It was sad. I did not want
to make you disappointed. I hope you did not get offended to my story
about the mother. Well, I'm in a good mood and I want to tell you
about my hobbies. I like listening to different music. It depends on
my mood and feelings. I like Russian composers such as Dunaevskiy and
Chajkovsky. But I also like listening to Mozart and Bach. I think they
are great composers and no body will surpass them. I like Joe Satriane
as well. I suppose he is a magnificent guitar player. I hope you agree
with me. I like the group “ Dire Straits ” very much. I like “ Pink
Floyd ”. They are not similar to any others. There are a great number
of popular musicians abroad. But I remember Georgian as well. May be
you heard about the Georgian singers"Georgian" or "Anikv." Now days a
lot of foreign films are on the screen in Georgia. Foreign cinema is
widely spread in Georgia. I like such old American films as Gladiator,
Brave Heart. Mel Gibson is a good actor. New films are also
interesting to me. I have seen “ The chronicles of Riddick ” and “
Another vs Predator ” recently. I liked it. I have some favourite
shows. For example - "Wildlife" from BBC. They show the most beautiful
views of nature and animals. I like to watch programs about nature and
animals very mach. I also prefer to watch KHL games. They are
fantastic shows. But unfortunately KHL games are not very often shown
on Georgia TV. Criminal programs have the biggest rating on TV,
because here TV reporters tell about crimes occurring during a day or
a week, they tell about leaders and authorities of criminal business
in Georgia, juvenile murderers and racists, addicts, maniacs, etc. You
know the level of crimes is extremely high in Georgia. The majority of
our country like to watch these programs. But I hate to do it. I
prefer to watch some musical and entertaining shows, and as a rule
they are our (Georgia) programs and of course they are not known to
you. Now you think that I spend my time in front of the TV screen with
my mouth full of popcorn and it takes me the whole day (smile.) But
it's not true. Actually I watch TV very seldom, once in a blue moon. I
have no time and forces to do it. My health is the most important
thing for me. I do not boast. My health is really good, and I always
try to be in a good form. I jag every morning, try to spend as much
times as possible in the open air. I have no car and I take a bus or
whatever (I mean transport) very seldom. I take cold - not shower. I
have been living in the conditions of rather cold winters and damp
autumn since my childhood. Such king of climate helps to toughen my
health. I do not smoke and do not take alcoholic drinks. I prefer a
healthy way of life and I'm proud of it. Sewing and knitting are my
hobbies if it's possible to say so. I also like to spend my free time
gardening and gathering much rooms and berries. I love to ski and to
skate in winter. I can speak about my hobbies for a long time. But I
also want to say that I do not like some things. I do not like artful
and envious people. I hate when somebody lies and deceives. I do not
love cruelty and roughness. I'm not interested in people, who prefer
to spend their time drinking alcohol a lot. I also do not like bad
untasty meal and cloudy days (smile.) xxxxI shall be glad, if you
tell about you many various things for me. I want to know about you
more and more. Because you my FRIEND. You agree? Friends always should
know well each other. Esma
