Детство

А я принадлежу к тому поколению, которое вручную поля в тетрадях чертило…А вы в детстве тоже ели сирень с 5-ю лепестками?А у вас были варежки на резинке? А вы строили шалаши в комнатах из стульев из одеял?А вы тоже улыбаетесь читая это? Да?

What's wrong with the system of education in Russia?

What's wrong with the system of education in Russia? All the goverment promises about rising of teachers' salary haven't come true.The downsizing at schools causes a lot of troubles among teachers. Not the best teachers go on their work at school. They are not valued at all. It seems that our principles care more about those whose actions don't make any troubles, who are loyal to them and can praise every mad desision. To be a creative hard-working person with his own point of view is dangerous at school. The behavior like this lead to punishment and pushing. More than that it's difficult to be the black sheep, to have no co-teachers with the same ideas, to suffer the pressure of the administration. How can we teach children to be kind, hornest, tolerate in such atmosphere?

Korea the beautiful...

Korea, my love To say that I love Korea means to say nothing. Reading blogs of Canadian, Australian, American teachers in Korea about people, life, schools, temples, towns and cities in this small country I see how different we are. I can present arguments for and against the various aspects of Korea, but I wouldn't. Why? Because I heart Korea for plenty of things. For its marvelous landscapes, for its calm and reasonably organized everyday life, for its ancient picturesque temples, for its green weird furtrees and …, for its spicy dishes and tasty galby, for its LBH, dramas, movies and music, for…. The list is endless, but actually I love it because Korea has changed me and my life. Sure God sent the gift to overcome all the troubles and become stronger and wiser. Any other country was likely to impress me at that time, but thanks God for giving me Korea. I wish I visited it someday

Shtikovo ponds. Part 2. Winter.

First snowfall decorated ponds. I finished my work. And of course spent time breathing pure cool air.

Stikovo ponds. Part 1. Autumn.

Primorie is rich in wonderful places to visit. When I'm sick and tired of all this stuff at the department one of the best way to relax is Shtikovo ponds not far from Vladivostok. Fairy nature, comfortable houses, skating, skiiing, barbeque always attract me. This rainy autumn didn't prevent me from enjoying this place. More than that I spent an hour or so making a present for my daughter. To finish the thing we had to return there in a month after snowfall. Everything grew even more beautiful with a white sparkling cover. So, enjoy the beauty with me!

Let it snow!

I spent my childhood in the northen parts of the Far East and used to enjoy snow in winter. Vladivostok differs much. First year of my life here surprised me much. It was difficult to feel winter coming. Lack of snow, irritating cold winds blowing every day. So I'm sick and tired of snowless and windy winter. The only desire is to feel warm colours of summer flowers. So I changed the background of my blog from snowflakes to roses.Wow! I look forward to summer or to snow!.

I'm a daisy

I've passed  a test and found out I'm a daisy.

"You are just a sweet person. When a friend needs a shoulder to cry on, you are happy to offer yours with a box of tissues as well. Once in awhile, you wish you could be a little more dramatic but then sensibility sets back in and you know that you are perfect the way you are."        

I'm surprised.                                 

I am a Daisy What Flower Are You?

New Year in Dubai

And this New Year  show my elder daughter enjoyed from her appartment in Dubai!  Coooooooooool!

Happy New Year!

Furtrees, decorations, presents, fireworks, friends...I was waiting for all these things with enthusiam like in childhood. The only thing made my expectations come true. My daddy came to our place to meet 2012 and has stayed with us for 4 days. It was the most desairable present. I love Daddy much but it's impossible to visit him often. I wish him to live each day with joy!



 Hyacinth in winter. Smells swell!
