Did you watch *The Eurovision Song Contest 2013*? If you did, what songs did you consider to be the best? Do you think that voting is usually fair in this competiton?

That weekend – about 10 days ago – I had marvelous plans to meet with my girlfriend and then to go on my friend-girl B-day party. However, my friend-girl changed her mind and all my hopes was destructed in one moment. I walked with girlfriend, then I called Sam, my best friend. We decided to hang over at his place. We bought coconut liquor "Malibu" and pineapple juice. When we came to his apartments, we drunk some Pina-Coladas. It was very sweet, so we decided to drink some vine. I remember, I've opened the vine while it was playing Greece's song. We liked it. When we finished second bottle, Sam said he doesn't feel well, so he went to sleep. I took his laptop, turned the TV volume down and listened to some really good music. When the election was over, I was surprised, because Top 5 songs sounded in one way!!! I think Eurovision is mostly for politics, shows and money, voting iand the songs are really hypocritical. Listen to the Rock!

The summer is coming. What are your plans for summer? Are you ready for it?
I'm really looking forward for summer to come! That's hard to plan all the summer in advance as everything may change and as my plans depend on many factors including the plans of my family and friends. However, I definitely know how I'm going to spend one month of my summer: I'm going to the New-York City. Even though I have already been there there is still a lot to see in New York. 
Actually, I have plenty of plans for my trip. As I'm traveling with my friends, I guess it's going to be much fun. In addition to visiting loads of places of interest. I love New York. I think it is the best city in the world. I've already been there. I liked it. This city is beautiful. I lived in a high hotel. On the 24th floor. The view was magnificent. I walked on the crossroad of Broadway and the Fifth. I saw the Triangle. I liked it. I saw many New-Yorkers. They are funny and cool. I love them. Hello to New-Yorkers!

How do you celebrate (if you the celebrate) the 9th of May? What is your attitude to the fact that many people now consider this holiday (and not only this) as a reason to gather and drink?

This 9th May I celebrated in a strange form: a very loud noise awaked me after a good night. I recognized the parade sounds and remembered it's 9th May. To tell the truth, I don't feel strong emotions of this day; in ,y opinion, people celebrate it in the wrong way. For example,they could help the veterans or keep a silence for a minute. This holiday isn't so actual as it was when there was a veteran of this war in every family or in every house; for them it is/was a really important date. Nowadays for many people it's just a reason to drink, an extra free day. It's their choice what to do at 9th May,  for me the problem of hypocrisy is more significant: I saw a lot of congrats of  veterans on Facebook, VK (russian Facebook), Twitter and Instagram or on cars' windows like "Thank Grandfather for the victory" or "Thank veterans". Maybe people think, that it looks pretty, but it's awful.
