i haven't been doing much since my last post. i have been playing chess online with some of yall and i finally started to look for a job. a couple of my friends gave me some good leads but i have not heard anything yet. then again it has only been a couple of days. today we went to the hydropark here in kiev. the hydropark is a large park like central park in the NYC, except it is on an island in the middle of the river. we didnt explore the whole things, we just rented a row boat and row row rowed our boat in the river. i didn’t take any pictures because i am scared to get my camera close to water, but i do have some pictures from when we were in chernigiv getting the car done. there are these strange "weeds" that grow all around cheriniv like any other weeds. they grow in medians on the road, in front of peoples houses and beside the sidewalks. check it out.
