Anton's mullet

Anton got a haircut the other day and of course the "neck tickles" were left for all of Ukraine to admire. We got out Zhenia's bows that I gave her and Anton thought it would be so funny to put one in his hair. He wouldn't let me do pigtails, but I thought this was plenty good enough.

St. Andrew's

This is a castle on the top of Adrevisky Street. It is a really steep street on a hill where there are lots of people selling souveniers. I thought it was really cool looking.

More students

This is Tonia, Christina, and Boris. They are some of my favorites. Tonia, Boris, and I like to scare each other when classes are over. They try and creep up on me and then when I turn around and scare them they scream incredibly loud and then run away. Boris loves it when I put my hair down in front of my face, put my hood on and make a creepy face. He busts out laughing everytime.

Lunchtime

(Sorry this picture is so dark) This is what a typical lunch looks like at our Little America school. This lady with the bright orange hair is Tanya and she cooks us lunch everyday during the week. She only knows a few things in English and it is very confusing sometimes because she says things that definitely don't make sense. She is a very sweet woman and she tells us that she loves us every day. The menu choices that we get for lunch are: cabbage pizza, soup with surprise meat floaties, cinnamon/tomato sauce noodles, grape juice, "holiday" cornbread, or sugar pancakes. It is fun to guess what thing she is going to bring us each day.

Nika and I

This is one of my most favorite girls named Nika. She loves to sing random songs and she is great at speaking english. I have a great video of her singing me this song about milk. :)

The older class...

These are the kids that I teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They are great kids, but they are a stinking pain in the neck to try and teach. They love showing me that they are too cool for authority... From left to right it's Julia, George, Sasha, and Andrew. And no, George and Sasha aren't cuddling, Sasha is twisting George's arm behind his back. They are really funny kids though, I love their accents.

The Soviet Toliet

This is the "soviet toliet" as Andre has told me. This is in the opera house. This picture is totally odd looking because I had to squat in order to get in the frame of the picture, but of course I had to get at least one picture with one of these babies. I haven't actually used one yet, but I'm sure I will. Kami and I had to take the picture really quickly because we were totally gonna get crazy looks for taking pictures in the bathroom.
