Back in Ukraine. Winter holidays.

Being accustomed to do everything by myself I was astonished being helped by a Ukrainian guy to place my Huge luggage on the customs' machine. There it was, Ukraine. The first thing I needed was ..no, not salo..coffee! Still feeling drowsy after any flight so a cup of good coffee always cheers me up. After my luggage was picked up my family and I destinated to the small cafe which was adviced by our friend. And there my soul felt happy eating only ukrainian stuff: borshch with pampushki, pickles, mini pies with cherry jam, salo with garlic and black bread!

Afterwards, I felt compulsion in going at the main square where Maydan was and there I saw a well organized living system, the Ukrainian language speakers,  performers singing ukrainian songs wearing our national clothing, tents for helping English speakers. After a while I spent the New Year at this square where the crowd welcomed the New Year singing the Ukrainian anthem. It was great being a part of really patriotic activity.  Never forget when a huge crowd went downstairs in the metropolitan and continued singing the anthem. Many people of different backgrounds but were so tied up with the coherent target and mind.

In January, I could not skip a chance to stop by and to see the teachers of  my ex school. The first visit to the school was with my exclassmates and there were talks on where everybody is studying. What I liked was seeing our classteacher and school. A little bit later I lured my friend tostop by a school principal and we definitely didn't regret coming by. The principal was so happy seeing and hearing how we were doing. Definitely, I am lucky with most of my school teachers whom I like visiting and talking to after my graduation. After a while, I stopped by the school again and that time I spent 3-4 hours chatting to my teachers and drinking coffee. Felt so happy seeing some of them but more happy were them seeing me. Totally the best memories left after visiting.

All in all, I had only 2 weeks to spend in Ukraine so the rest of my holidays I was at home eating and accumulating the energy for the hardest  and sleepless course coming soon.
