Hey all,
A quick message from Ukraine. I I am in a town 2 hours south of Kiev, and am loving it so far. there are frustrating occurances of course, but i am learning russian a lot about teaching. Not a whole lot new has happened since the last update to my blog. Ukraine is an interesting place, there are so many things here that are similar to America (roads, cars, internet, coca-cola, etc.) yet it has a Russian twist more than i even expected (the schools are built in a russian style, all the cars are 30 years old, etc.) Today i saw the left overs of a car accident (the drivers arent always very attentive) and a car had hit another car and driven into the side of a wall about 2 inches from a house... very interesting. My dad is currently in Kiev, and will be making the journey to Rokytna (my town) tomorrow morrning. I am very excited to see him and to have someone see the life i am living. It is much different than what i expected, and different than friends of mine in Gambia, Uganda, and the DOminican Republic, but i am loving it, and wouldnt change anything so far. Would love to hear from all of you!
-Love,
Seth
