Week 4 day 24, 4 Jul 2009
Medveshka! (we were supposed to go there yesterday at about 4pm, but we couldn’t make it there in time)
Beautiful island in the middle of the lake. Just like what Kuharka said, everywhere is toilet, everything is for people. We slept in tents, used the woods as our toilets and burn wood to keep ourselves warm. It was a primitive experience.
I especially love the night. We sat by the fire and sang with the guitar and crack sunflower seeds. I made new friends, and just to name some of them, they were Bosch (I cant remember his actual name, but because he works with Bosch, so hence the nickname), Dema, Yura and
婵娟底下
吉他玄中,轻声细唱
这是童话
醉也其中,痴也其中
两心玄谈,仿佛恋爱！
Thank you Bosch! (and Yura) (they got so nervous because I seem to have an energizer bunny in me and did not want to sleep) Thank you for the many many songs that you played specially for me, (from those that you wanted to sing for me, and for those impromptu ones that you sang to entertain me) thank you for taking care of me (lending me your tent, your sleeping bag and your pull-over), thank you for the car ride back, and finally thank you for respecting me.
Week 4 day 22, 2 Jul 2009
We were due for some summer camp that was super far away, but we set off too late and so we cancelled our trip. Since we were already out of the house, we (or rather the guys) decided to make a trip down to Akadamgorodok. It was like an excursion out into the ‘woods’ with Kuharka being the ‘tour guide’, explaining to us the special features of almost each and everyone of the plants. Some plants look ‘innocent’ but seriously if you touch them, they make you itch like hell, others make your skin swollen with water bubbles. One thing good about this trip is that you get to see raspberry plant, eat wild strawberries (they are super tiny) and breathe in the sweet scent of apple flowers (; I totally love the apple flowers!
Went back to office to get some internet connection. Dinner was made by Chetan – Indian Curry!!! Well not exactly the same taste as back home since he did not have quite a bit of the ingredients needed, but nonetheless, it tasted – GREAT!!! (slightly different taste and aroma but definitely it’s a delicacy to have in

Kuharka went to electron to look for his love! They say he is honest (with his feelings), he is brave, he is determined, but most appropriately, he is mad, crazy! But I admire his courage and his honesty! How many people dare to say they love? How many people dare to use actions to prove their love? How many people will walk the extra mile just in the name of love? How many people will remember once upon a time they said to a girl, ‘I really like you’? How many people will love like him? I wonder, I don’t know.
Today is city day, AIESECers brought us round the city center to watch performances, but it rained on and off.
Small partying at our apartment in the night
