The Russian icebreaker kaptain khlebniov penetrates into an Antarctic ice shelf. Even when its 22000 HP, this powerful icebreaker only passes through the ice at a rate of 4 to 5 km per day.
Under the Russian city of khatanga, the liedniks are cellars dug directly into the permafrost. They are prime examples of the inhabitants amazing adaption to their environment. The temperature remains constant at more or less -18 c
In Russian she is answering the question; Describe Paris as if it were a person..
i will not give you her answer, as the reason i filmed it in her mother tongue is i am interested in this area of not understanding language, in response to my own two months of not understanding french.
other answers on the other hand;
- she is a young woman whose appearance is chic, she wears a wide brim hat and a coat. she is impulsive and does things on a whim but in general her mood is good and she smiles a lot. she wears light make up to show her natural beauty
- he is a young man in a beige suit who smiles at who he chooses
- she is an old woman in a fur coat and stockings with many wrinkles on her face, she is bitter but drinks enough red wine so that she doesn't care
I found everyone (so far) had a different gender/age for Paris, but i understand the choices of each one even if it is not similar to my own. I asked this question i had noticed much of the literature i had read about Paris uses this personification heavily, usually she is a woman...i wanted to see what other people would say. It rose discussion into how Paris is incredibly easy to talk about as a person, it seems more difficult to describe Berlin, London or Moscow...but i haven't really tried
due to cutting of just above the elbows, i decided to pay a little attention to the other half of the body;
In my world of not understanding conversations when on the metro i often cut out the faces that chit chat and focus on hands and feet.
