well it is very hard for us to realize that we are imcomplete without all the other countires and their cultures even if they were to be the one with whom we are at war. so i thought let me start a thread where people can thank other countries for all the stuff that belonged to that country that makes them complete.IP: Logged |

Oh, Evolution you cirtanly should know how to drink it - with lemon, solt cucumber, and only after third cup - meat, fish....
The result is fabulous. You will dance, smile,sing and love everybody. When i asked whisky or vodka,i prefer vodka.
Yesterday was a birthday of my daughter and we drank Ukrainian "gorilka". Ahhh, Thanks Ukraine.LOL
