i am roasting pumpkin for the fam, i think they are going to hate it. i managed to slice my finger open because my aunt has no proper (as i understand it) kitchen equipment and her cutting board moves.
i ahve to say that after all my dislike for moscow, and tehre has been some, i now see that moscow is a largermore metropolitan city than kiev. it's like comparing berlin adn leipzig--impossible. kiev has been uneventful. i went ot the forest for a bbq. we made roast meat and soup in the fire. that was fun. i also got to drive a car, all by myself. so i have to say this car is actually older than me. the steering wheel lacks a pump which means that every time you want to turn it you manually have to use your man/woman power to crank the wheel, which took some effort. first i could not reach the pedal, then i could not see the road. but after all things were adjusted, i got to drive myself through the city at night, without any knowled ge of what european traffic signs actually meant. :)
my uncle's wallet got stolen. i was going to walk around the city and he wanted to accompany me so we took the subway for the stroll. being a car owner, he has not ridden the subway in like 10 years, so after getting off and trying to purchase some batteries he realized that his wallet was missing. along wiht his old retired person ID, money, and atm card. crap. so we call his wife, my aunt, try to get her to get a number to the bank to report the stolen card. we call, leave a message (yes tothe bank) asking to call us back. we wait, we start walking...some time later, my uncle reaches into his pocket adn finds his old retired person ID with all atm cards and 40 Hrivnas. the wallet is gone as is money, but i guess the guy must have returned all the things he didn't need (or couldn't use, like atm cards without pins) and even left some money for the train ride back. i'd like to point out that as a foreigner, my wallet is still intact, knock on wood. i gotta go check out the pumpkin.
