DAY TWO (part 2/5): THE EGYPTIANS


I struggle to understand people in the street and I feel excluded and somehow dependent on who's with me all the time.

I'm frustrated, I'm asking myself too much right now because it's just 24 hours I've landed in Ukraine.

I don't understand how much I'll spend to call my parents in Italy and Anton cannot explain it to me and this is stressing me.

My nerves are calmer some minutes later, when we both sit on a bench besides a fontain in the theatre square , the main square of the city.

Everything is shining, there are the shadows of the leaves of the trees, the sound of the water, a beautiful sun, childrens playing and two egyptians walking down the street, perfecty in front of me. -“Hey!” - I shout to them, they're Mahmoud and Mohamed, two interns of our internship!

We both recognize each others, Iryna's told me they're funny and positive people, I feel free to speak with them since the very first minute.

Me, Anton, Mahmoud and Mohamed walk through the theatre to the "Island of love", a cozy magic place in Ternopil's lake park.

I don't know why we go there but there we find some of the craziest people I'll meet here: drunk guys and girls from in international project of a University are dancing and shouting here, near the lakeside. There are some canadian girls, they are all beautiful, with shining blue eyes and blonde hair, happy and laughing all the time.

They are dizzy, I tell them they're beautiful and they hug me and reply “Thank you!” , with a beautiful,pure canadian accent,it's unusal to me!

Everyone is having a good time here, these guys are spending their last day in Ternopil and they remember their stay in a very nostalgic way.

This is the moment in which I understand I can have a very good time here and I can face this experience in a more relaxed, different way than the one I had imagined.
