 - I'm all right stand - stress, exercise, everything is easy - cheerfully said billionaire



 - The truth is, there are two training difficulty - complained Ki. - Basic - a centrifuge. Centrifuge - is something horrible, because shakes ... And one more thing saddens me - for 4 months I was not able to master the Russian language. Just a few words. I understand a lot, but I can not speak. It's sad - in the Cirque du Soleil many Russian artists. It is a difficult language. And I know just what you need to know for the flight - some terms and all that, but I can not talk at all. I can read in Russian, 70 percent of the text. But the problem is that I do not understand because they do not understand the words
