Kyiv, Ukraine

training is tough..
Tougher than I ever imagined.
So much to do and yet so little time/motivation.
But I made up my mind to do this all over again, didn't I? right..
Everyday is consisted of 6 hours of Laguage training and about 2 hours of student teaching then some homework/family bonding time and that's it..
No time to hang out, no time to bond, and no time to complain.. so I guess that's not that bad after all.

Let me survive the training first and see what's waiting for me after that..

Paramus, New Jersey, United States

I'm home.
Without really knowing what is waiting for me in near future.
This is not so sweet. But I am here and I guess I gotta do what I gotta do.
Definitely missed a lot of things back at home but at the same time, it's hard not to think about Uzbekistan.

Dnipropetrvsk, Ukraine

Visiting my future site-to-be was definitely interesting.
At first, I complained about how useless it was to visit our future site if we can't even change anything anyway, but now I'm definitely glad I went.
I have better idea of what and how to prepare for the site.
It's located in a fairly big city called Kryvy Rig of Dnpropetrovsk oblast.
Full of factories and pollution, but my part of the city isn't that polluted.
so that works out..
School, family and community.. everything seems to be cool.. yay~
Ukraine is a place where I definitely am getting used to it.
I'm just letting anything happen..

I met an Uzbek person the other day who happened to know some of my Korean friends in Uzbekistan. I couldn't stop chatting with him. Then Taya found out that the spice person at her market is also Uzbek from Andijon. pretty awesome.

Taya and I are sitemates again. Awesome. I'm glad I'm not left in the middle nowhere by myself..

Tashkent, Uzbekistan

It all happened too quick..
But it was something we all expected..
I don't really know what to think and what choices to make..

I felt like I belonged to Uzbekistan.
Something about this country make me feel like I am a part of this community.
All the people I met, all the injustices I saw, all the love I've recieved, I'm taking them with me back home.

A place where I felt like I was doing what I was meant to do.
A place where people made me feel like I belong.
A place where I fell in love..



Good bye..
