kotik: hello ^.^

hello everyone. I am new to this forum and just wanted to say hello. so, hello (:
I am a ballet student in the US. My family is from Poland and makes sure everyone knows by displaying the flag in our front window =)

Welcome kotik :)

nothing wrong with displaying the flag.. my neighbors are the same way and
they are only half polish.. they have both flags in front of house..

thank you (:

I would be much happier to display flag if I did not live in big russian neighborhood lol
I hope you an your neighbors are not bothered for doing so.

Welcome Kotik....it's always good to have pride with your heritage:)

Welcome to the forum. It's always good to have another American here. Enjoy.

thank you all (:
I feel like I am losing my heritage from living in the US and going to russian ballet classes. I am glad to find this forum :D

not at all.. :) its America ... your russian neighbors arent mad are they?

no not really I just have to hear why russia is superior and how they controlled poland. Most of the time it is from friends and not to be hurtful except for a few times.

next time they tell you this ask them what is their point?
and say if you want to be my friend then act like it and dont act like
you have to show up history to prove something because friends dont
do that to one another. least not real friends.

yes I agree. I think it is written somewhere inside them to talk of thier countries greatness lol. the part that confuses me is that they say "we" and "you" like it is personal haha. I want to say
"No, Vitalik! You are NOT Josef Stalin!"

welcome kotik.....enjoy :)

Hi Kotik - welcome.

Heya Kotik..Welcome!

Hi kotik,just enjoy the Ballet,ignore the russians....face it,I enjoyed my time studying ballet and Im a straight bloke from the mining area of northern england,if I didnt get put off you shouldnt lol(and no,my names not billy elliot ;) )

Just like Toula's father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. You have the basis for an award winning movie.

Welcome to the Forum. What part of the states do you live in?

lol I love that movie. I am living in tri state area.

There are several tri-state areas. Based on lots of Russians, I'm guessing NJ, NY, Conn.

Welcome Kotik from the peaceful Indiana farm country. Next time the Russians remind them of control. Tell them there will be US missle bases pointed at them soon with happy smiles on them. And By the way I may live in the country, but Balet ROCKS! I just love the art of it. And talent required as well as skill. No , I have never tried it. Work boots don't work so well for this profession.

Welcome Kotik.
