... but I tried it and hey, it was there! I was sooooo happy. So I had breakfast this morning for the first time since I have been here. How nice is that. Am riding the train tonight from about 5:30 until 11:30. I would like to take some supplies with me but it is Sunday so I don't know if the store will be open but might pop over there in a bit and check. Otherwise it is going to be McDonald's for the train tonight.<br>

We have arrived!

We are here finally! Yay! We have had quite the experience already! When we got off the plane we had to fill out our paperwork for customs and wait in line. While we were waiting in line we saw a man holding a sign that said, "Scott and Lauren Posendek". We waved to him and he said something to the customs officers and got us to the front of the line at customs so we could get through. We got all of ...

Being tourists

Arno writing: I had a rough night of sleep last night. It was a warm night, so we opened the windows. Of course the mosquito's came in and bit me. Today we went to a local church we hadn"t been to. There were hundreds of people at the church. Everyone had dried flowers and were circled around the ...

First Day in Ukraine: the adventure of adventures

... pickpockets and crime at the train station. We found out train without an issue and with the help of some middle aged women found our car and cabin.<br> <br> The train was an adventure in itself. I imagine it was built sometime in the 40s or 50s. There is cheap wood paneling, lace curtains and fake planets hanging by the windows. Ross commented that it had probably crossed Siberia more then a few times in its day. Ross and I had the two top bunks. Below us ...

... came across some very nice sites and a street full of people selling things! It was quite interesting. We then decided to take the metro to St.Sofia's Catherdral, after which i took my leave from my friend...i needed to! ha ha, and made my way to my hostel and didn't get lost!! Slowly figuring out how to read Cryillic, when you see an X its actually a street that starts with a KH which ...

Peace Corps

... friends and count**parts, and without money." The Peace Corps has an int**national reputation for helping the less fortunate people of the world, but among some volunte**s who have been raped, robbed, injured or stricken with life-threatening illnesses, its image is one of an agency that doesn't care. Fearing for h** safety following a threat, Christina Hildebrandt of Longmont, Colo., decided to leave the African country of Gabon in June 1991. "I started sleeping with a ...

The New Year

... School has started back up for a new semester. It still is quite fun, but a lot of work. I am so rewarded by the friendships of my students. They escorted me to the Water Museum and tea for my birthday. A couple of PC friends in town for a Russian language refresher made an event out of going to the local Korean restaurant to celebrate! I also have been able to go to the Opera to see the Nutcracker, and another theater for a version of the Wizard of Oz ...

Day whatever: Lost track of Time.

The train to Kiev was not so bad, most of it was overnight. Kristen and I were in a very small compartment with a Russian lady who knew no English. I guess as all Russian ladies do, she took on the both of us as her responsibility. She showed us how to make our bunks and chastised us because we had no food for the journey. It was actually funny because she asked us if we had food and I showed her my orange Fanta and bag ...

Fork in the road!

... will be placed at a school. There is a chance it will not be in Kiev, but another large city, Dniper-Provosk(sp). I will have internet, telephone, and pay (not much, but more than PC and livable) in a city. Teachers in Ukraine make about $200/month. I will be making $1000 plus bonuses and I have a better offer for the September session. I can also do private training in corporations. The school is VERY positive and very happy to have me. I feel ...

... to see what they looked like on the inside. The area is called Podil and it is the river plain below the Kiev hills. Lancie said to me "there are some Americans, I heard them talking". I tried to speak to them, but they ran away. I guess I look too much like a local and they thought I was trying to sell them something. We were tired after several hours of walking so we took the subway home. It costs 10 cents per person to ride the ...
