This Saturday was all about appreciating how valuable our time in the UK is and travelling around. The choice was Brighton, an English city on the seaside. With a beach, famous Pier, an amazing district full of vintage shops, cafes right in the middle of the street and its wind, that reminded me of my Baku...
Soo here we are :) three silly weirdos singing embarassing songs on the streets of Oxford.
Meet my groupmates: Turan and Ruslan.
The trip was all about fun. Oxford, its universities, the beautiy of the city, its historical splendor, rainy weather and everything else was a background to a 10 hour hilarious conversation :) But I didn't forget to take pictures so I could share them here.
I loved this place. The calmness in some parts of Oxford attracts a person to take his time and live here for a couple of months. A place to come back some time for sure.
It is no secret that I'm a movie and tv show nerd :) So you will hear about my obsession a lot, prepare yourselves for a long-term spam by me...
This post is about my all time favourite sitcom (situation comedy) F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
It is about 6 closest friends, 4 of them living across the hall (Rachel and Monica, Joey and Chandler), Ross, which is Monica's Brother and Phoebe, the weird blondie, which was Monica's roommate before Rachel. The show was on air for 10 seasons from 1994 till 2004 on NBC and never had low ratings. Episodes had 20-24 millions viewers in average, but the final episode was watched by 51 million people in USA. The success of the show is undeniable.
It all happens in New York, but the main places of the show are two apartments and Central Perk coffee shop.
Rachel and Monica's apartment
Chandler and Joey's apartment, which changed a lot throughout the seasons.

Despite of the years passed since the show began and everything seems old and out of fashion, the moment you begin watching, you fall in love with all six characters and enjoy the humor of the show. The way they find a way to your heart and become your friends is magical. The success of the show is also an indicator how much people accepted and became friends with the guys on the sceen. Everyone wanted a group of friends like that. They are funny, they are handsome, they are smart (eveyone in its own way), they are real friends, which will be by each other's side no matter what. Do I have a favourite character? Yes, and that is definitely Chandler Bing :)
In my opinion, it is the best sitcom ever. And as much as I know, it is the first popular one based on bunch of friends and their lives. Now there are a lot of them, but F.R.I.E.N.D.S is a part of an american culture already. The way young people formed some kind of a family and lived by each other's side for years affected the perception of the viewers in terms of alternatve family lifestyle. Chandler's way of pronouncing certain words and not finishing his sentences or Joey's famous line 'How you doin'?' became popular. People refer to them in real life and on-screen. Me personally, always remember scenes from the show when something similiar happens in my life.Humor of the show is simple but never stupid. It really makes you laugh out loud, not just smile, though you have a smile on your face throughout the episode. Every episode is 20 minutes long and the title of all the episodes begin either with 'The one with...' or 'The one when...'. There are 238 episodes in total and after watching them all you wish there were more. I watched the show once and sometimes when I have free time I re-watch random episodes, because one can never get bored of or fed up with F.R.I.E.N.D.S. It is the best way to kill 20 minutes (if you have spare)...

But I like Boyce Avenue version more
I would share my favourite scenes with you too, but I can't choose :) So you better watch the show and gain on-screen friends for life...
