Oh my God, look at these pictures in Ukrainska Pravda... The holiday is called Vodokhreshchennya (water baptism?)...
I hope our reckless president doesn't get pneumonia after this - I don't want another presidential election, in addition to the March 26 one. Yanukovych is way more careful.
And that guy with a hairy back - who is he? "It's like he's wearing a sweater," my mama just said.
Neeka, I enjoyed Savik Shuster's programm very much, thank you for the link. And I wanted to ask, if you know, if there ary any good tv or radio progaramms in Ukrainian in the net.
ReplyDeleteI'm asking because I used to speak Ukrainian quite well, but since more than a year I have absolutely no contact with it and I forgot a lot. I'd be great to practice ;)
best regards,
Marek (Warsaw)
Veronichka, that holiday is called Epiphany... if I'm not wrong. Another name for it here is Jordan.
