With no juice but two beers and some wine instead? I doubt.

Drinking vodka is not hard at all. As Russians say: To experience the magical attribute of vodka, you have to drink it with glasses.
And that is much true - if you drink vodka in small amounts, you get drunk easily. If the amounts are at least 200ml, the world becomes colourful.

Been there done that. I drink Vodka straight as normal. It's not only Slavics that can drink.

Uncle of mine was commenting Sunday at a Father's day reunion, (it was this Sunday in Brasil) ''You can start drinking whatever age you like, 'cos with feet that big, you won't lose balance and fall!''


In UK size, I think I'm a 42...


My loafers/dress-ish (Italian driving shoes) pair are a size 11 U.S, 42/43 Brasil, maybe 41 UK.

My Nikes are 11-1/2 so maybe 41/42 UK.

My low cut Hurleys (Converse All-Star design) are 11-1/2, so same as Nikes.

My Dress shoes are the same as the Nikes and Hurleys.

For screwing around here on vacation, I've been using my dad's size 13 work boots he left here...



I'm 1m 65cm tall.

5ft, 5in I think.
