There has been a lot of changes during the last weeks. The biggest one is that my wife Yana and me have moved to Melbourne, Australia. And we've had really crazy, on the other hand very exiting the last 3 days. But I'd like to write about it later.
Now I feel nostalgia for native town a little. So while reminiscences from our trip to Svetlovodsk that had place three weeks ago haven't faded yet I want to review our short journey. For Yana it was the first visit to Svetlovodsk. For the person who was brought up in St. Petersburg such tiny town like Svetlovodsk can't make a great impression. I suppose she regards my homeland like dacha.
With each following visit to Svetlovodsk what I see disappoints me more and more. People live miserable life, there are a lot of unemployed young people with who haven't place to go. There is a lot of rubbish everywhere.
The only pleasant thing in visiting hometown it's to see relatives and friends. Though meetings with friends aren't so exiting more like it used to be: Some friends are busy, others - settled down to married life and fellowship become poor.
I'd like to see Svetlovodsk in a year, but afraid that contrast with Melbourne will be huge than with St Petersburg.

Now I'm jobless

Now I'm officially out of work. Yesterday was my last work day at company where I had been working for about a year and a half. I'd say it was a pleasant leaving in some respect. Because my previous jobs I was leaving under the unpleasant stares of my bosses. This time almost everyone wished me a luck, in addition my chief has arranged a send-off. It was unexpectedly and I'm thankful for such treatment and in the same time I felt myself awkwardly because there was a lot of work for our department lately and now I left the department with just 7 workers. But there is nothing I can do with it.
Next week Yana and me are going at first to Kiev where we expecting to see some friends and I have to manage some affairs and after we going to visit my native town Svetlovodsk. I haven't been there for a two years before I started work at this company. I'm looking forward to see mum, unfortunately my brother out of town and I think I haven't seen him for a long time. But he promised to visit us in Australia in a distant future. I hope that in Svetlovodsk we will be able to swim in the Dnieper river because I spent all my childhood doing this in the summertime. There are lot of places which are suitable for a swim.
In St. Petersburg it is white nights now, hence I'm not fast asleep last days, on the other hand it's enough to feel myself freshly.
