我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I saw two seas wash into each other on Rhodos, drowning channels of Venice in February showers, I saw old white mansion converted into leper house 20 kms from my home city of Kharkov, a severed head of an old catholic saint in Pyrenees, Martin Luther's silver spoon in Wartburg castle, a house where Margarita lived in Moskow, I saw a boy who used to walk 17 kms to school every day in russian village, an old bar with music box near Rovno, Spring by Sandro Botticelli in Florence, a train of gypsies in Carpathians and my 4-day old niece first squint at the sun. Haven't done a lot yet myself

教，学，和分享

Love to learn histories of cities, and what people think about manipulation of powers. I can teach English (have diploma for that, don't I) - i.e. if you make mistakes, I will notify you and maybe even remember the rule, and on my part always appreciate when corrected, play piano, tennis, can teach some yoga.
