Great, I like the video Tara, but it'll take time for me to digest before I am able to do something about it. Thanks a lot, I'm working on it.

Dear Tara! Thanks a lot for your comment and the advice you gave me it was a good idea to add photos! Nice day to you!

Dear Tara! You are so kind! How many kids do you have? Orlando is about 3 hour drive from the place where my house is. They should see Disney World and Universal Studio! I will gladly take you all there! All American born have to see that! It is impossible to become American. One should be born and raised in that society and Disney World is a place that gives kids first idea about their homeland

Thank you for your quick response Tara. My computer is equipped with a microphone but I'm a bit slow in learning with things like that. My daughter uses it when she communicates with her brother in Dubai. She explained to me several times how to use it but very little left in my mind, so I'd better explain the pronunciation in writing.

My name "zulkifli alinazar" consists of seven syllables. The strange thing in Indonesian is that each syllable is stressed equally and it sounds flat as if it does not have intonation, so when I pronounce my name to English speaking people they usually have some difficulty imitating it. Though Indonesians have hobby of having long names they are called by short ones and I am called "zul" and is pronounced "zool". So just call me zool to make it easy. That's it, very simple.

Thanks for your willingness to help me improve my English.

Love,

Zul

Dear Tara! Thanks for your warm words. You are a very nice sencitive lady. However, moving back to America, that accepted me as equal 20 years ago, gave me its citizenship and permition to teach at the American University is just a pleasure for me. As you know, being an American citizen I can live wherever I like and my "short" visit to Ukraine because of my mother's sickness turned out to be rather long period for my sensing different values. Now I am ready to return and live the end of my life in the USA. I have a nice house in Florida, in Port Charlotte. So, if you ever come to the USA, you will be always welcome at my place. However, I will never stop my activity in EC. It is the best site I have ever come across! Thank you, Joseph and others who try to make this world better!

Dear Tara! Thanks for your great comment! Can I consider it as a comliment? :)

I don't know what I can teach about Chernobyl. I know much but I am not sure that the world is ready to get my knowledge and I am not sure I can tell what I want. Today, when I have been trying to download the worst pictures of the tragedy, some of my download files disappeared and that information became unavailable in the internet. I couldn't place the most informative pictures in EC. I am very sorry for my country that became a Russian slave again! I am moving to the USA in summer for I can't stand it any more! However, I accept your proposal. How can I help you? I like EC and I will gladly take part in its progress. What can I tell others they have no idea about?
