As far as I know, he still plays in Russia.

Paul told me to go back to the hotel room after sending a distress signal, so I went, but he wasn't there. There was just a group of soldiers outside, I killed all the regular ones, but the black ones can't be killed, and Paul is nowhere to be found! I've searched everywhere, every single square inch of the map, but he's nowhere to be found, he's not there, is that normal?

Are you playing the English version and struggling to keep up with the conversations?

Why chase after them if they are all available in the menu?

If I remember correctly (I haven't reached that point yet, and it was a while ago), Paul was captured and killed. To keep him alive, you need to enter the hotel directly through his room's window and fight off all the attackers. Then he will survive and send you to the subway, where you will be picked up. If you did that and Paul is still missing, head to the subway.

Stop squeezing those breasts.

why?? O_o

Do you have girls there?

90% of the dormitory and the philology building.

I like the current avatar theme on the forum.

It seems there won't be internet in the dormitory, so I decided to go home on weekends. This way, I'll appear sometimes, although I still won't have much time. Many things I want to share, and I'll do it in order.
On Sunday, together with a group, we went to the "sky lanterns" event, organized in support of the victims of the recent disasters in Japan.
For those who don't know what these lanterns are (by the way, my first association with them was similar mobs in Perfect World), here's a video from there, of course, not filmed by me or my companions. All the yellow dots in the sky are lanterns.

However, if I'm asked, I'll say that I didn't like it. Guess why. Because of the people. Most of the people came to listen to music, drink beer, and launch lanterns into the sky, without even understanding the meaning of the event. The lanterns started being distributed somewhere in the middle, and even before that, people started launching them into the sky. The host (a Ukrainian, who, by the way, when it was already evening, said "konnichiwa" (which means "good day") instead of "konbanwa" (good evening)), repeatedly asked people to stop launching the lanterns, but no one listened to him. Then, even the Ambassador of Japan asked them to stop. The audience still didn't care. I'm sure that the Japanese would have waited for the signal and done everything properly. For a long time, my roommate and I stood separately from everyone else (by the way, then some guys came on stage, and people suddenly started applauding them very enthusiastically; I asked why, and they surprisingly told me that it was "Vopli Vidoplyasova," a cool Ukrainian band that everyone knows). Then we went to the center of the crowd to get a lantern, or at least one for two, and we saw this: one of the women who was distributing the lanterns and lighters was literally being torn apart, with people literally snatching them from her hands, taking several at a time.

In the room, I'm the only one who gets up right away when the alarm clock rings; I don't know why. The other three lie down for a while, so we don't have time to eat, we get ready and run to the subway station. On Monday, my roommate and I had breakfast, pouring a liter of milk between us; the next day, we ate oranges.

I'm worried about subjects like Ecology. It's not needed for my major, and the lectures are quite boring. In one of the classes, they talked about the harm of cola and chips, and said that it's impossible to give up sweets. It's boring. What can I say about my roommate, who is a raw foodist? I suggested that maybe the Japanese are more organized than "we" because they experience earthquakes three times a day. Maybe it was a joke, but if so, it wasn't very funny.

I liked the Japanese teachers. Egawa-sensei is a very positive and pleasant person. When we had his first class, there was a funny situation. We knew he was Japanese, but we didn't know what he looked like. When we were standing near the classroom where he was supposed to come, some smiling Asian man walked past us. We all seven smiled too, held our breath, and everyone wanted to say "Ohayo Gozaimasu" (like, a respectful good morning), but we had doubts – what if he's Chinese or Korean? So he just walked past us. Egawa-sensei turned out to be a different person. As I wrote above. The English teacher and Tishchenko (who teaches linguistics) also impressed me; the latter is associated with professionalism for some reason. And for me, also with an immortal vampire. By the way, he told us to buy, copy, or borrow a linguistics book from the second-year students. When a friend let me use her book, I discovered that he was also its author. It's funny – he speaks many languages without any accent and pronounces all the sounds we learn, while showing and explaining where they come from. In addition to the book, he gave us another program that contains the notation of sounds and their pronunciation, voiced by him.

The dormitory, by the way, is actually one of the worst in terms of conditions. Of course, I'm not demanding, and I don't like to complain, but when there's nothing to sit on and nowhere to put things, I still want to speak up. But in general, I like the student town; it's clean there. In the philology building, by the way, there unexpectedly turned out to be a cafeteria where they cook well, and the prices are not high. Besides, it looks quite nice. Oh yes, there are many foreigners on the territory of the student town. And in general, here and in the city, I often come across Asians. And let someone else tell me that Asian girls are beautiful only with makeup and from the right angle :smile04:

Due to the fact that I have to move much more and study more, I've become quite tired. I even had dreams about classes, with some strict Japanese man. And in general, all four of us don't get enough sleep. Yesterday, my roommate and I were sitting on his bed and writing down hiragana letters. I fell asleep in that position for about half an hour. And so, we have already learned 41 hiragana letters. Yes, hiragana does not consist of hieroglyphs. An example of hiragana: the title of the song that I sent to VisTrit on the wall: あなたがしてくれたこと.
By the way, I noticed an interesting thing – when I listen to something in Japanese and encounter familiar sounds, I automatically remember how it's written.
When we finish with hiragana, we'll move on to katakana, and then kanji (3,000 hieroglyphs). It's like in Diablo: normal, nightmare, and hell. In the dormitory, we often use Japanese words in everyday life; it's good practice.

Recently, three of us went to the library of the Polytechnic University, where the Japanese center is located. It's basically like a library.
There was also a cool Japanese man there who spoke Russian. He was a living confirmation of "Japanese politeness," seriously. I also liked it inside. They allow you to use computers and books for free (if it were a Ukrainian library, they would probably charge for using the computer). There are many dictionaries, educational books, anime magazines, original manga, and much more. I think that when I learn the language better, I will read manga in this way, with a dictionary. It will be both useful and interesting.

And also, in recent days, I've had a desire to play PW.

Despite some negative aspects, a lot of positive emotions and impressions are hidden behind Reaven's huge post :)

And overall, the post is quite interesting.

Wait, he'll soon start writing in hieroglyphs, in Japanese. Then we won't understand anything.

He will go to a Japanese Heroes forum.

She suggested that perhaps the Japanese are more organized than "we" are, because they experience earthquakes three times a day. It might have been a joke, but if so, it wasn't a very funny one.

It's doubtful that the heroes are well-known in Japan, but a translator from Chinese would certainly be useful for local students who are struggling.

soon he will become like... like a high elf among other elves.

why?? O_o
