One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Among places that amazed me the most were- The bearded winged guards from the British Museum, London;
The aztec spoon from a shop in Greenwich, UK;
A Pagan temple in Armenia (which looks Greek!);

I remember with laughter how I lived one day in London only on salo (Ukrainian national lard/bacon cuisine).

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: Ukrainian culture and history, how to make thread bracelets, how to write European Commission's Youth in Action projects, Ukrainian songs and national cuisine, several team building games and energisers, history, culture and architecture of my city Kharkiv.
Learn: Active games, foreign language and traditions, methods of relaxation.
