So my flight stuff went fine. I landed in Kiev on time, and got through the visa line in like a half hour 45 minutes. I got my bag and literally walked through customs without a word. I'm not really sure that it was supposed to work like that. A guy named Viktor was there to pick me up and we left the airport right away. We got in a car and drove around Kiev for a little bit before heading out. The drive to Chernivtsi was about 5 hours, with some stops, but we got into the city at 11:30. Blah,blah,blah. The next day Viktor and I walked around the city and he showed me around. Basically without Viktor I would be dead. I can't order food without him, get a taxi, or even leave my apartment without getting lost.
My birthday was pretty amazing. We went to a bar named Troya where we met some of Viktor's friends and spent the night talking and doing other stuff. It's all true what they say about ukrainian's, they love their vodka, a lot.
The city is beautiful as is the university. I'm starting to adjust to the idea of living here, but the 17th of May seems very far away right now. I haven't cried yet, that would have happened on the first day. To tell you all the truth I haven't really had any chances to think about my being here. I leave my apartment in the morning and I usually don't get home until night.
My classes start on monday, and hopefully I can get my internet taken care of then. I don't really know what to talk about. Tell me about what you want to hear about.
An apartment, I though you were going to be in a dorm? If you haven't been to classes yet what have you been doing? Have you met your professors? mom
ReplyDeleteThey call it an apartment over here. It's really just a bedroom, a bathroom, and a communal kitchen. I've been trying to get a handle on the city. What have I been doing? eating.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you been eating? How is the food?
ReplyDeletetell us about Viktor. How old is he? etc.
ReplyDeleteI got really sad when I read this one :(
