Save the best for last(?)

I arrived at Kharkiv in the early morning, but the sun already rose. The AIESECer came and offered to show us around the city. I was too tired and my backpack was too heavy. I didn’t want to go, but Ning asked me to go with her. So, I went with them with my heavy laptop and camera inside the backpack.

Son, me, and Turkish friends

Son told us that if we put the coin on this global and make a wish we would be there in some day.

We walked and walked around the city and went to our camp which is not that far away from the Kharkiv’s downtown. (It took approximately not more than an hour). We met the children from every age groups(between 6-16 years old).  We divided into a pair and rotate every group every day. Each day we will have the 3 lesson for the children. In the evening, there opened the floor for the children to dance, but if they did not want to dance they can choose to run around outside the tent.

Maya, she could not speak English very well, but she used gesture to introduce herself and her friends to me. Every time she saw me, she would run to me and give me a big hug.

We worked from Mon-Fri and stay the night in the city during weekend.

We went to the city by bus.

We joined an AIESEC activity, Indian day.

The big famous park in Kharkiv and the big hat-shaped hut behind the old woman is the fountain where everyone who came to the park will get free water.

You do not have to buy the ticket to get inside the amusement park, but there are a lot of the rides to go. Ning, Michael, and Ejan went to the high-speed train ride and almost all of us went to the Ferry wheel.

The global village.

On the very last day that we spent in Kharkiv, the AIESEC arrange the party around the lake for all of us. We were dancing our friends’ country music.

It was a good memories…

When I finished my work in Kharkiv, Ning and I decieded to travel around Ukrine. We went back to Kiev to Lviv to Odessa to Vinessa(to visit Veronica) and back to Kiev to flied back to Thailand.

I miss all of them. I meant even though in that moment some people were really annoying for me, but as the time pass, it has wash all of the bad things out of my memories and only left the good memories inside my brain.
