English Teacher X ‎(3:36 AM):
People wore their hair like Dima Bilan when I was thirteen years old!

If you don't know who Dima Bilan is, click the wikipedia link immediately.

He is single handedly responsible for the first reaction of foreigners coming to Russian changing from "Wow, look at all the hot chicks!!!" to "What the fuck is up with all these guys with mullets and big sunglasses??!!"

I heard people saying that with high oil prices "we" can finally afford to buy all these things.

In most of Europe the Eurovision Song Contest is an embarrassing joke. It's the televisual equivalent of the awful vase your aunty gave you, which you have to have on the shelf when she visits. Who the hell could possibly be proud of winning it?

p.s. what is xokej? and what does "we win and now too" mean?
