Independence Day 2008
... the minds! With the Georgian war going on, Ukraine is even more in the news. According to students, this is Ukraine's first military parade since the Orange Revolution in 1992! It was very cool to see all the military branches march ...
My Downward Slump
... on Yushchenko to make Ukraine a better place, but I know it will take more than a strong leader. I want THEM to make Ukraine a safer, stronger, fairer country. My students (14 yr. olds) are the first generation who was born into an independent Ukraine. ...
Borders of Former Soviet Countries
We left Istanbul with a bit of a shaky start. Our ferry was due to leave midday, so we thought if we arrive approximately two hour earlier we should be ok. It turns out that check in closed about 3 hours before take off and they did not want ...
Happy Saturday!
We have Talia!!! Hello everyone! We were busy yesterday from 7:30am until we picked up Talia from the orphanage around 6:30! Sorry we weren't able to post anything until now. It is around noon on Saturday and Scott and I made it through ...
Parachute, Beach, Pizza with Kids Becoming Adults
The idea of day camp and Teaching English as a Second Language is working out great. All the kids from the area are in one place. There are a lot of fun things to do. The kids love it all. The day begins with playing in the ...
Wednesday (Court +8)
... she blew us kisses and then ran off to play with her group. We haven't heard anything new about the H1N1 issues here in Ukraine. We should be fine to travel out of Svalyava on the train to Kiev. We haven't heard anything either about flight ...
Traveling with a Communist
... which was rare, that I had to mistrust and dislike Russians and Communists. Then of course that would have included the Ukraine. I was also taught to be very bigoted but luckily that didn’t take very well because I have since had many ...
Court!
... though. Scott and I were talking yesterday and we really have liked just about everyone that we have encountered here in Ukraine, especially in this small town of Svalyava. The orphanage caregivers are very friendly and we can tell they all really ...
Mickey Mouse vs. Rodina Mat
After a restless night of duckish dreams, I rise at nearly nine and hit the corner cafe for a chicken and mushroom pastry and a cup of coffee. The grey has returned to the streets of city this Saturday morning, but the first buds are beginning to unfurl ...
Odessa
One week in Odessa. A really nice city, didnīt imagine before. Clean, very nice city centre, nice buildings, great restaurants (ukrainian food, great sushi...). Many homeless dogs and cats, I tried to give food to all of them. Had the impression that ...
A history lesson
... one or two additional faces. So then... our journey came to an end... imagine we drove over 3500 kilometers around Romania and Ukraine before crossing the Polish border. And what a crossing was that! We had heard before of the time needed to get from ...
What's with this Cyrillic script anyway?
Crossing borders can be traumatic. Crossing borders when you don't speak the language more so. Crossing borders when you can't even pretend to understand the alphabet... okay so I am anxious. The Ukrainian officials cannot be more helpful and I am ...
One year in Ukraine!
... here by being a PCV. Last fall, I was so overwhelmed by my adjustment to the new culture. I was desperate to understand Ukraine, and impatient (after almost two years of applying and training for Peace Corps) to find out where I would finally end up! ...
Training Almost Over
First of all, Happy Saint Michael's Day (Ukrainian holiday when Saint Michael leaves children presents under their pillows)! Saint Michael brought me slippers, mittens and chocolate- basic Ukrainian necessities. Today is also special because this is ...
3 Cultures, 3 Languages, 3 Beautiful Countries!
... with you on a 15 hour train ride. We are in Chernivtsi, and I had a wonderful tour of Istanbul. I then made my way to Ukraine, and it was so nice to meet up with the group. Chris took great care of me in Tajikistan, then Istanbul I was ...
Kieve
Kiev is a city of just over 2,000,000 people. It was actually the first capital of Russia a few hundred years ago. The metro is said to be the deepest in the world. It was begun by the soviets during the war. The escalators going ...

Overnight train from Chernivtsi to L'viv Ukraine God this was a shit journey. Cold, noisy, smokey. SHIT, but ...
Last Day in Vinogodrov--on to Khust
Last night I had trouble sleeping as I was thinking about the lives of our kids in Vinogradov. All the young people that I had pizza with last night we have known for eight years. They have been cared for through the Polichko's ...
How exciting!!!
We were contacted yesterday by a family from France that adopted a little boy from Talia's orphanage just a few months before we went there! They even stayed with the same family- Pasha and Roselana. This little boy named Maxime that they ...
Update from Ukraine
Hello Everyone, Well we are trying to wait patiently for our 10 days to go by. Carl is sick with a stomach virus so he is having a hard time. We are very homesick. I'm going today to book our return flights home. The big day is December 13th. On ...
small culture shock
... everything all at once again at the end of this tour. Still have my photos to upload from the last tour. I do hope I will like the Ukraine as much as I liked Uzbekistan. So far it is not looking like it but I will keep an open ...
Hills!
For four days without let up I've been riding through the equivalent of Lincolnshire. I love Lincolnshire - wide skies, water, great coast line - but you're through it in a couple of hours at most. Four days is in a completely different league. Nothing ...
HOW I ENTERED RUSSIA ILLEGALLY
... crops on a dirt farming road. Russia was near. We came to a big field. A scant line of trees divided the field into Ukraine and Russia. A blue sign beside the road warned people of the border. A thick man and his black, hybrid SUV waited on the other ...
Arrival to Vinogradov, Ukraine
... Chop train arrives and we embark on our 17 minute journey across the Tissa River which is the border between Hungary and Ukraine. After clearing passport control and customs we are met by Vasya who works the Polichko's. We are very happy ...
Kiev
... skill! I want to read all the information that I have in English, but feel I should be studying my Russian. Ukraine is definitely a bi-lingual country. They even have a third language that is a mix of Russian/Ukraine. It is indeed ...
Finally started teaching
... these kids going to do with that? Go up to some English speaker and start reciting a text about their working day or holidays in Ukraine? So I've got a long way to go with the other teachers. Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to Lviv for 24 ...
Election season, neverending political comercials
... only 2 have a chance of winning the election- this woman Yulia Tymoshenko, and this guy Viktor Yanukovich (the George Bush of Ukraine... if you remember the Orange Revolution at all, he's the guy that ran against the pro-democracy guy). I hope Yanokovich ...
