Learn from Finland Knowledge is actually the only exportation of Finland. In the seventies, Finland launched serious reforms in the education system. Thanks to that in the international PISA tests (Programme for International Student Assessment) students from Finland took the first place (2000 and 2003) and the second in 2006 and 2009 (in categories of reading and mathematics). Almost 66% of Finnish students go to college - it is the highest percentage in Europe.

         The main purpose of a woman of the past, was to be a "helpmate to her husband." Times have changed. Today, women are considered to have equal rights; but, is it really true?  You would be really slack-jawed reading how far from equality women are in different parts of the world. India           According to Hinduism, the female was created by Brahman to provide company to men and facilitate procreation, progeny and continuation of family lineage. Any respect that women enjoyed in society were as daughters, mothers and wives (till their husbands pass away; as widows they lose their status and suffer from many disabilities ). „Her father protects in childhood, her housband protects in youth, and her sons protect in old age; a woman is never fit for independence.”         On the brighter side, Hindus worship many female deities, as aspects of Mother Goddess.          Nowadays Hindu women have a long way to go to enjoy an equal status with men. They ha

Travels... Who among us does not like them? It is said that travels broadens the mind so for some people they are way of life but for most of us they are the ideal way to spend vacation.

Generally speaking, each representant of particular country has a scheme of attitudes pigeonholed in our minds. Against this background, there arises something that we people like the most - stereotypes - Of course some of us do not accept this odd social phenomenon, but it must has it's source. Surely most of them is more or less exaggerated but it doesn't affect the fact that stereotypes were, are and will be the thrilling topic of discussion among people from all over the world.

The first restaurants can be traced back all the way to ancient Rome, to the taverns and inns which fed their travelers when they were far away from home.

Although this way of serving was a fine example of extreme laziness, the meals were cooked in a normal restaurant kitchen (filled with chefs and trained cooks), so they of
