Kiev and Kharkov: HORSE AND DANCE (continued, p.2) Day 4: I slept well and woke up early. Then four o'clock walked through the city center. I wanted to look at the church. Then I went on Sumy street to Freedom Square to the park named after Shevchenko. In the summer it looks no worse than in autumn. Liberty Square was an exhibition of dinosaurs, entry was free. There were large copies of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. It seemed to me that this time I still have more colorful memories compared to my first visit, which took place in September. One of the most beautiful cathedrals in the city - St. Basil's Cathedral. Incidentally, in shorts in his entry is prohibited. I did not want to break the rules, and the guard gave me a good pair of trousers. Inside I was not late. By the way, to the railway station here to go - absolutely nothing, so I walked. Kharkiv - a very beautiful city, its parks, fountains and old buildings contribute to the beauty of the mite. Monument to TG Shevchenko then it is time of true joy for me - I met with Colin, the same girl. We went to the botanical garden, there sat on a bench and just talked. We were both tired order. I really liked her talk. It was so unusual, lively and interesting. I will remember this meeting for a long time. She gave me some gifts, I did not quite expect. Botanical Garden is not very big, and the entrance to it is free. Do not dwell on the theme of our meeting and about the girl in particular. Just say that after a while we went home. House in Kharkiv When I went to the station, I once again realized that Square next to him is very unusual. He's so handsome. Not every station is such a wonderful Square nearby. Me even more surprised that in the park selling food, and there has played classical music. Terrific! Everyone seemed to just have fun: children, adults and the author of these lines. I am very much going to miss K. In Internet chat is very simple, but in real life first as a not so smooth. I'm not one of those that quickly finds the contact with people, I need time. I guess I just need time to get to know people. Today, the city will be a huge party, which will perform a DJ Testo. I hope I did not cop it again with the police anywhere in the metro, and I do not fall asleep during the concert. I burst into the neck of Energy, and now I do not care what I do goes around comes around tomorrow. Day 5 Tusovka began with an embarrassing thing for me. Types at the entrance to behave like a bunch of idiots when they saw my ticket. I bought it through the official website of the company. Well, you know such an electronic ticket, which can be printed. They said that I myself have drawn a ticket, and the company's website, quite a respected site, by the way, just a linden. Bleary-eyed police officer told me that I stowed away. A striking example of disrespect for people. Why would a company sells e-tickets when their own staff in the dimwitted as it does round eyes and violates the rights of the client? I have several times gone to the party on electronic tickets, and nowhere with such idiocy is not met. Perhaps, in Kiev will be the same. But what struck me most is the fact that when my ticket is still checked, and the cop let me, the people at the second entrance to behave absolutely well! I am very much annoyed. But in the end, I missed the inside. This is just horrible and terrible, and I do not care to apologize to me or not. Such behavior is simply impossible to excuse. All this is very unpleasant. The view from the hotel my mood worsened. I did a little dance, and then Testo began his amazing, energetic and extremely strong performance. There are only three DJs, listening to that, I forget about time - it Ebav-n-Beyond, John Digvid and Testo. It's been 3,5 hours of true enjoyment and drive. Then, as the crowd shouted in unison "Che-hundred!" Simply impossible to convey in words. He played the best tracks from the album "Kaleidoscope" and some old hits. I enjoyed every second. Square in front of the station I went back by taxi. It was 4:00 am. Dawn begins, and I had enough money to catch a taxi, rather than spending time waiting, when will the metro or tram will come. The taxi driver than it is similar to the hero's horror film. He was awful coughing and spitting out the window. I think he had some sort of serious lung disease. Looking at it, you might have thought that now he will take you into the woods and do something not very good. During the taxi ride, I saw the old one-story buildings, which led me to thinking about cities. Probably every town has such an old street, where readily visible contrast between the old and new, rich and poor, beautiful and squalid. In Kharkov, this street is. Well back home after a successful party! We drove to Poltava Way. I have not been in the area, but I left there was still a whole day, and I was planning to walk there before leaving for Kiev. Poltava Way I remember the AK very often. That our conversation left me a deep, indelible impression. It is hoped for the best, prepare for the worst and try to be optimistic. As far as possible. Before I left Kharkov - digress - I watched two movies about the universe and us, the people, and to understand such complex things as matter, black holes and the Big Bang theory. I was interested in astronomy, the seventh grade. Who we are and why we came into this world? If we are only part of the evolutionary process, perhaps thousands of years we will turn into some other things. Incidentally, one of the films mentioned about the search for extraterrestrial civilizations, and Earth-like planets. I like movies about the development of the Earth and nature. Yet something about C. She charming Ukrainian accent. Among the teachers there is a perception that the pronunciation when learning a foreign language must be perfect, although I happen to disagree, because it has no relation to the main purpose of communication, which, obviously, is not to publish the beautiful sounds, but in the transmission of information. I saw it all with precision when, during my visit to Europe, I tried to pronounce the different sounds, as do the Poles, French and Dutch. With mixed success, I tried to pronounce them correctly, that's just the tutorial does not specifically talk about. The institute is my specialty - the English language, I can speak in English. But in other languages, I just learned how to formulate ideas, make simple sentences, such as those that are required in order to buy tickets for the subway, etc. As long as people understand you, you do not care, they take you for a native speaker or not, the pronunciation does not play a big role. But if you do not understand, then a lot of work, but otherwise - it makes no sense to worry about pronunciation. I watched several movies on the channel BBC, I like the accent of speakers. Just a wonderful accent! Administration building of the railway I walked in Poltava Way. This is an old street. I just had to get to the ATM. Then I looked into several sites and went to the hotel.
