A baby was born!!!
We have a great joy at our agency – our couple has a baby! Here is the letter we received today:
Hello Slava and Zhanna!
How are you? I hope all is well in Kazan. On March 20th we had a little baby boy!!! His name is Ignatiy :) At birth, he weighed 3Kg. He has grown in such a short time.
We miss Kazan and Moscow and plan to visit with Ignatiy, of course, sometime in August or September.
Well,
Take care,
Saburo, Masha and Ignatiy :)
Congratulations!!! We are very glad for you!
Unfortunately, it is a rare occurrence. Usually our couples don’t dare to have children until adjustment will be completed, job will be found, question about English will be solved. Even more so we can admire this couple. :)
Wedding: Patrick and Lilya
The wedding of our clients - Patrick and Lilya - took place in Kazan on April 30. Patrick wrote his first letter on September 12, 2003. By his own admission, when he saw Lilya, he decided at once that she is the ONE. And so it happened. Eight months later they got married.
Lilya started hard study of English and Patrick occupied himself with immigration questions. Agreement and Love!
Visitors
One of our clients is in Kazan now. I want to write about him so that you could avoid his mistakes. So what happened?
Nothing criminal :) He just came unexpectedly.
His girl wasn’t ready for his arrival at all. Further still she hasn’t made her choice yet. Thirdly he hadn’t written to her for long time before that! And fourthly – he decided everything for both in advance on his own.
Here I want to note: if you are looking for an obedient wife who will serve you slippers and will be grateful to you all her life only because you took her out of the country, then marry women with this mentality. For instance, Philippine or Thai women. Russian women are very proud. Some think it is a merit, others regard it as demerit but the fact remains. However, this pride is not out of nothing. In fact it is not just pride, it is rather dignity and self-respect, as Russian women know well their own worth. They are not only beautiful but also well-educated and traditionally have strong family values. And family is daily search for mutual solutions. Never try to decide everything for a Russian woman. You can read Russian literature to make certain of how much it is in vain. :))
I think no one is amazed that this woman refused him? And here I come to the point for the sake of which I started telling you this story.
Our client was indignant: he came to her for long term and she could meet with just out of politeness, to spend time with him! He regarded her awfully ill-bred.
But the girl thought so: what for I will give him hope if my choice isn’t in his favor. What for will he waste money for me, take me to restaurants if I can’t reciprocate? What for will I play games with him? He’d better date with other girls. Logical explanation, isn’t it?
Always, before blaming a girl from another country, remember about the difference of mentalities. What you find obvious, a foreigner may regard as paradox. Tolerance is the first skill for those how want to find his other half in another country.
Weather: warmth has come to us
And the last news – warmth has come to us, to Russia at last. The thermometer shows +22+24C, the trees are in blossom, nice time for outings, barbeque. You are welcome! :)
