Ukrainian Kyiv brides on march for hubbies?
















I read it in the news - now you can see the pics- who needs a Kyiv bride? Ukr men are not in hurry to tie the official knot with these brides and cohabitate with women in overpriced Kyiv rabbit holes. More Ukr brides for export along with cheap men Ukr workforce. Long live Ukraine!

Lying low

I was not so successful in coating new adventure and now work there rarely. Not so much business at the moment. I applied for governmental study loan to kick off American master's degree at ODU this fall semester which starts in August.

Left ny traces on Russian social networks that's wehere most of my generation Ukrainians hang out and post pics. I'm too lazy to start writing short stories about my work and stay in the US.

Enjoy pics!

No work this week, but reading books

This weekend is graduation weekend at Old Dominion (where I happen to hang out and was admitted as grad student)- as if you step into an American movie scene. I still think about going today to Williamsburg,VA to William&Mary University site- the old capital of Virginia. Bus ticket round trip is $30, hostel is about $20. I'm sacrificing a lot financially.
Watched Ironman at the movies for $9 - hi tech impressive movie with an ethical question about arms and killing people.
I got my economic stimulus refund, thanks Uncle Sam! Americans will have to foot the bill later for the government's borrowing.
Life is slow and expensive, I'm slow,fat and inefficient this week.

New old questions- life update may 08

1. I was on my first work related paid trip in the US-Virginia totaling 5 days and spending many hours in a truck. Nice American roads, friends! I'm too tired now.
2. Asked myself questions - what is all technology is all about- internet, blogging, cellfons, overseas travel, movies- 100 years ago life was harder, simpler, livelier, friendlier- perhaps. It was 1908- time between global wars.
3. Spent a lot of hours doing Facebook site and looking for some info on people from my Kiev life. Why I need to do that?
4. Ukrainians were worried about tornado in Suffolk, Va this week. I saw in a paper a report on results- quite many homes destroyed. Norfolk is about 20 miles- 36 km from Suffolk.
5.Weekend is good- need to browse internet, go to church, after church will be picnick.
