New movies in Limassol cinemas

Oh! Friday came and this means that cinema schedule was updated!
You can see two new movies at the weekend: “The Terminal” and “Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid”.
I trust Tom Hanks (let’s remembe “Cast Away” and “Forrest Gump”) and hope that “The Terminal” will not disappoint you!
The second movie is a sequel (I think) or a variation of a scary story about huge and smart anaconda – “Anaconda” 1997. I was not impressed by “Anaconda”. It’s really boring movie. So, I’m affaid that its sequel is the same.
Enjoy

Java prorammers are coming home

Indian programmers have already made a name themselves in the computer world especially in Java fields …
But many people treat with scepticism to them creative work and like to make fun of them.
Personally, it doesn’t matter for me where are people from. But I like this picture 🙂

Why Russian roads are so dangerous

Russian constructors like to create many service hatches on the roadways. So, irresponsible people like to steal them to get some money. Finally, nobody likes to watch to them! As result, we have sad results (see pictures):
place – Vernadski street, Moscow
date – 21/09/2004
A jeep got to the open hatch, then it was took out on the wrong side. As result – one driver perished!
When I’ve droven in St Petersburg I’ve avoided hit into open hatches only by a miracle.
So, I’d like to wish Russian drives be careful and no open hatches on they way!
