(Germany, Bayern Radio)

( The central city of the state is Munich. There is the air of legendary Bayern kingdom. Not only classic music by orchestra, traditional songs, and contemporary songs, but also you can listen to a lot of pleasant folk and dance music by brassband, lute, and accordion. Your happiness will be special when you drink a beer and dance. Look for words "Live hören"(hear) or "Webradio starten". )

( The treasure of music in Spanish speaking people is enormous, world-wide, and very romantic. Not only romantic music, but also the dance at the weekend is their favorite thing. For example, "Memories of Alhambra" by Francisco Tárrega: you can find CD infomation at TuneFind under a guitarist David Russell. Perhaps, with this, your travel to Madrid will become a very romantic one. Look for words "Escuchar"(listen) or "En vivo"(live). )

( Programs : talk, music, and news. Imagine about René Clair's film 14th of July. Do you remember the vibrating lanterns in chansons in the film? What a sweet music it is! I wish I were the lanterns. In case "Quatorze Juillet" is hard to find, "Under the roofs of Paris" is a good alternative to feel chansons. Go to France-Inter, France-Info etc, then look for words "direct", "écoutez le direct". )

( While a forte piano (now called a piano) may be developed by Silbermann in 18th century in Germany, the violin is an Italian art such as Stradivari. You can feel the history in the radio. Here is a small story when Charles Chaplin visited Rome for his movie premiere of "Limelight" (1953).
  » I was honoured ... by the President and the Ministers. ... When we drove up in a limousine, the crowds were roped off on the far side of the street - too far, I thought. With all my graciousness and charm I stepped out and around the limousine into the middle of the road, and, before a flood of arc-lights, ... Instantly a barrage of cabbages and tomatoes flew by me. I was not too sure what they were or what had happened until I heard my Italian friend, the interpreter moaning at the back of me: 'To think this should happen in my country'. ... Then the humour of the situation struck me and I could not stop laughing. Even my Italian friend had to laugh with me. « )
Look for words "Ascolta Radiorai" (a middle colorful strip-like menu) and click "Radio 1", "Radio 2", "Radio 3", etc.

( Football! The excited football games take about one third of broadcasting time. The air is always pleasant. I believe, this comes from the special concoction of Latin culture, African culture, and even Asian culture in territorial spacious luxury. Look for words "OUÇA AO VIVO" (hear the live) at right side. )

( With "War and Peace" of Tolstoy and movies from Sergei Eisenstein, the image of Russian was big, gigantic and powerful. Upon recent encounter with a comedy film "Kidnapping Caucasian Style or new Shurik's adventures", the image of Russian is no longer the same. Explore around.
Here is how I got the "Kidnapping Caucasian Style". At first I rented a VHS video at a local shop in North Hollywood (California 91601), then I bought the DVD from [bukinist.com] (New York).

Note for russianinternet.com : Go to Russian Radio, then pick a radio station such as Russkoe Radio, Radio Baltica etc. )

( Excuse us, we are still not good at writing in Arabic letters. According to a dictionary, Spanish speaker's favorite phrase of benediction (praying to God), "(es:) ¡Ojalá que (verbo_subjuntivo) ...! ", comes from arabic phrase "oxalá" or "wa sha Allah", wishing that all mighty God Allah will bless and bring happiness. Now we know, while speaking this phrase often with Spanish speaking friends, we are already part-time Arabic speakers and Islamic temporarily. Please wait for a while for further development in Arabic language. )

( Melting into the mother nature; happiness of animals and plants are the central to the Japanese. For example, "Swimming up Koi-fish in air" in spring and the cultural symbol Pine-Bamboo-Plum. You can hear traditional music only at festival. There are great literature and poems, and with the original language access, you can have this world. )

( The national alphabet, Hangul, was developed by the decree of Sejong (4th king of the Joseon Dynasty, also known as Yi Dynasty) in 1443. Having close relationship with Chinese culture, the Korean upper classes were bilingual in a sense; they spoke Korean but wrote in Chinese. Only in 20th century, they mostly write in Hangul. It is considered one of the most scientific alphabets in use in any country. )
