Corruption... Corruption...Corruption- everywhere!


Yusterday was another day which proved once again that my home land isnt as friendly as it seems to be. Yusterday man came to fix some problem with my pump. Afterwards he had to write some report and while doing it he said that he need chocolat. I frowned, he have wage and yet he wants something else from us? My granny said to keep quiet as if i will say smth he might write something bad about our pamps. We had no chocolat, so she gave him money for chocolat. Like this he left. The worst was that people are used to it, its normal for them to take money and for those who give them, to give. The more i stay here, the more i wonder if i really need to come back. People live in fear that if they wont do as others say, they wont get what they need...

My lovely land of rude people


I lived in Ukraine for 15 years. My life was calm and boring, i didnt care about anything, i just existed. School- home- school, nothing else bothered me. But when 5 years ago i moved to Ireland and could compare my country to another one, i saw that before i lived in my small world without understanding nothing at all about life. I thought that i am happy, but now i think that it was all my dream as life in my home land isnt as sweet as i thought it is. Every year coming back for summer holidays made me feel so bad, i mean now i saw somwthing that i didnt before: most of people in Ukraine are mean and care only about themselves. Today i saw that once again. Im not saying that everyone is like that, but most of them are. Imagine situation: i needed to call some organisation so they can help me with one problem. Yusterday woman on the phone said that the man who can help me is out and will be back tomorrow. So, today i called once again, This time there was another woman answering and she said that if i have any questions- i need to go directly to that organisation. I was confused so i asked isnt she from the same organisation? She rudely answered that she isnt and hunged the phone... I was shocked! Really! I even have no idea where that organisation is, and she tells me to find it? I just wanted to ask something! And she didnt want to asnwer as its not her problem! Today my mood is ruined. Such people as her make life so much harder! I just cant stress enough how i hate situations like this and believe me that in Ukraine they are in each step. In comparison to Ireland. I love this land for honest and friendly people. They would never do something like that woman did. They would help in any situation, i know it as i was in such situations lots of time. Ireland in comparison to Ukraine is heaven!
