Basketball team and worries for the holidays
Finally! The day that I was waiting for! This Friday was the first basketball training with the coach, the training of the KIMEP basketball team. Although initially I confused the coach with some silly young guy, who was about to play basketball with jeans, as he was putting his sport-shoes on jeans. Good that I didn’t comment anything. :D He really looks young, maybe 22-23, but probably he is 25-30 or so. And he has attitude and authority, so its fine, I like him. As many players have left the team last year due to graduation, there are quite a few vancancies, and I was promised a place in the team. Yes, this means that the level of the team is not too good, especially for a 4000 student university, however don’t forget its Kazakhstan, not Lithuania. :) And actually there are a few really good players. So right now I am already ordering a KIMEP basketball uniform, with shirt and shorts, my number will be 5. Its really good, because I needed to by sport shorts anyway. :) Already in some 2 weeks a tournament awaits. Now we will have trainings 3 times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I will quit American football trainings now. Peteris seems to be doing better there, or at least he is more excited about this sport, so I guess he stays. Though he promised to check out basketball trainings, too. We still have a game to play between each other for 1000 tenge (20 LTL), that was the deal. :) And so far I am still beating him in Age of Empires 2, we play it once in a while in the evenings, but he is getting better and better. :)
I am now starting to worry for the approaching mid-term break, which will start right after mid-term exams, on 18th of October, and will last for 10 days. Why worry? Because all the nice plans to visit China are fading away now! Why? Because it costs f***ing 300 dollars to get a tourist viza for 2 weeks! What a heck is the point of making the viza so expensive? They are loosing millions of dollars in tourism, I bet, just because of this. Last year it was much cheaper, lets say Janis, the latvian guy from SSE Riga who was here last year, paid only about 75 dollars for it. But the rules got stricter during olympics, and of course they don’t bother to change them back. Same with Kirgizstan, as I wrote earlier - around 200-300 dollars for viza, already since last year! Uzhas! (Awful!) On Monday we hope to clarify it till the end, whether its possible to get it cheaper for China or not. Plan B - Uzbekistan, and if that will not work out, then we will join other exchange students, who already lost their hope to go outside the country due to student viza’s, and decided to go around Kazakhstan, to the west - Turkistan, Aral Sea etc. That we will do, sooner or later, as well, but I would be very very dissapointed if I wouldn’t manage to go to Uzkebistan and China! And in beginning of December, we will be going to Astana, everyone recommends it to go there in winter. Mom, dad, could you please call the China’s embassy in Vilnius and ask how much it SHOULD cost to get viza for lithuanians to China (tourist viza for 2 weeks)? And whether its possible to do it without the help of travelling agencies. Thanks. :)

ok, I shall ask it on Monday. But…kaip tu galėtum gauti vizą Lietuvoj, jei čia nėra tavęs ir tavo paso? Complicated. But at least we can compare the information. Sėmės krepšinio pasaulyjeeeee…
Marius… I feel SO sorry for you because you missed the best party SSE has ever had. (You will see the pics later in the new web page which we are planing to launch this week)
PS And train well in basketball, because you know we have to play a game with you… ;)
Jooo.. it would be sad to miss pretty good opportunity to visit China when it is so close… I hope it works.
And about basketball.. Well, if you will train with the coach for 3 months that means you will improve at least a little. As far as I remember, you were always losing to me, so we have to set up a match too when we are both back home, cause I need to check how much have you improved since our last game (i don't even remember when it was) :)
Mianem ksiazek elektronicznych nie okresla sie kompleksow dokumentow HTML, jako ze nie sa one jednolitym plikiem, jakkolwiek taki rozlam ma bezsprzecznie despotyczny profil.
wydanie elektroniczna jest od czasu do czasu ujmowana szerzej, jako ze obejmuje materialy elektroniczne niebedace ksiazkami, jak na przyklad chociazby systemy pomocy. Trudno uskutecznic precyzyjna klasyfikacje oraz w gruncie rzeczy mozna przejmowac rozmaite zakresy definicji publikacji rowniez ksiazek elektronicznych. Mozna aczkolwiek przychylic sie, ze ta ostatnia jest przeniesieniem klasycznej ksiazki azaliz czasopisma do swiata urzadzen komputerowych, co wyraza sie chocby w nazwie.

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less.

Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
