New Home

Yesterday I arrived in my new home of Magazynka, Crimea.

I was promptly introduced to school administration and we talked, sorta, about my role in this town. My Russian at this point is still a bit on the weak side. It's hard to explain exactly what I want to do yet.

Yesterday was their graduation ceremony for their 16 year olds. It was fascinating seeing their way of celebrating graduation. In Oster it was interesting, but Oster is still fairly close to Kiev. Now that I'm so far away from Kiev, it's becoming more clear to me what life in rural Ukraine is all about. It's definitely like nothing I've ever experienced before.
