An Hyeon Soo is a Korean skater.

Now he join Russian skate team and takes part in Russian Championship holding now in Kolomna city. He ranked 14th in 500 m race and  9th in 1500 m race.

According to Russian law everyone who was naturalized should choose a Russian name. An Hyeon Soo got his Russian passport as An Victor, what means "winner". I hope his new name will help him to get gold medal on Sochi Olympic Games!!!~

Do you know what does it mean?
It's not 24 hours / 7 days !!)
It's a title of Hyundai Motor's plan to launch 7 new models over to years.

this 7 models are following:

Tucson ix35

Sonata

Equus

Elantra

Solaris

Veloster

and the last one - Azera

All this models have common feature - "fluidic sculpture". I like the design of new cars, especially Sonata, Solaris and Azera.  I had just kind of test-drive of Hyundai Sonata. I'm not a specialist in cars, but from the point of view of equipment and navigation I'll put 10 of 10, and as for interior 9/10. One minus, in my opinion - is relatively high threshold.

Today is unique day - 11.11.11 !!!

190 years ago was born outstanding Russian novellist, classic Fyodor Dostoevskii !

And in South Korea it's PEPERO DAY~~  November, 11 (11.11) looks like 4 sticks - sticks of Pepero, famous LOTTE snack.

Couples usually exchange sticks, so it's kind of St. Valentine day in Europe or Day of St. Peter and Fevronia in Russia (celebrated on July, 8) 

Lotte might earn a fortune on this very day~~

Due to Hallyu lot's of youngsters now know about this day and buy Pepero.
