Life in Uzhgorod

Well, it seems like forever since we came to Uzhgorod.
Most people might think that being transplanted from the States to Ukraine would be a huge change. I think the bigger change is transplanting from Kyiv to Uzhgorod.
Uzhgorod is a much smaller city. The city is not as technologically advanced, so even having water all the time is a luxury that we don't have. And we've called about getting internet in our apartment, however, no one would talk to us.

However, we were blessed to get a great apartment, a spacious 3-roomer, very clean, not expensive at all. On nice days, most anything is in walking distance.

I am currently teaching English with Cornerstone, Uzhgorod. In fact, my class begins in half an hour. The three of us are also going to two different orphanages at the moment, one with Cornerstone, and one with a different group. It's strange that each orphanage has a distinct feel to it. This new orphanage takes an hour by car to get to, and has had a lot of work done to it recently. the kids are well kept and well managed, and excited to see us.

The other orphanage we go to is more run down, the children are dirtier, and much harder to manage in a group.

But we are excited to work with both groups of kids.

I keep forgetting to bring my camera and cable with me when i check email, so that i can put pictures up on the blog. I'll try to remember to do that next time.

So, this is short and sweet!

I hope you all have a great day! i'm already tired. really, who wants to learn english on a friday night when there are so many other things to do??? :)
