On the train

All the way across the country in any direction takes more than 24 hours.
Have a nice layover in Kyiv, finally got into the WWII museum.
Finished with Survivor Camp in the Carpathians, fun to teach first aid and live in a tent, poop in a hole, wash in the river, with sand
 
now off to an ecology camp
wishing i had a bit more time at home now that i know theoretically how to get my town recycling plastic and paper
there's a company in Lviv that will send a truck out to pick up materials and pay by the kilogram
but I won't be in town long enough to get this project off the ground until late August
 
reading harry potter in ukrainian
still
each page takes a long time
although it is all understandable
words are still read at the letter level
not the whole word recognition thing
 
ok, I bet that rice is done
cooking in the pc office is fun
and saves a whole lot of money
because kyiv prices are like nyc prices
 
amazing news from home
congratulations all of you
