The Last Blog Post5/22/2018 Hi there, here I am with my last blog post! To be honest I don’t know what exactly to write as the last blog post is supposed to be special. However, there were so many things going around in the last several weeks, so I can’t choose which one is the most special. So I will just tell you quickly about everything. First of all, I’ve been on trip to St. Louis with other exchange students a week ago. We’ve visited the Arch, the Art Museum, the Courthouse and many other beautiful places. If you ever end up traveling to St. Louis, you just HAVE TO see the City Museum. It is an enormous old building (I believe, it was a factory or something like that before) reconstructed into a gigantic several-storeys maze for kids and adults. All the holes, tunnels, paths are made from recycled materials. You can literally find there a real old plane, a school bus, a real castle tower and a Ferris wheel. When you come inside, you are seemed to be transported to a different reality. It’s impossible to describe it good enough, you just have to see it with your own eyes. Another amazing place in St Louis is the zoo, which is totally free and takes good care of all their animals. There are a lot of activities for the small kids as well as for adults, so it’s a great place for a family weekend. To sum up, St Louis is an amazing city! Another thing I want to share with you - I went to watch the Deadpool 2 last Friday. No spoilers, Don’t worry:) It’s probably the best movie I’ve seen in the last few years and the only Marvel movie I totally loved. It’s quite brutal and has a lot of bad words, but if this doesn’t scare you - you should definitely watch it! The jokes and plot twists were awesome! Thirdly, I received a postcard from China! A Chinese girl sent me a beautiful picture of koala and wrote “Hi!” in Chinese on the back side. Postcrossing is really working, so take a risk and sign up. You may find a good friend from the other side of the world. By the way, if anybody wants to get a postcard from Ukraine - give me your address before I leave! Finally, the last week brought a number of unexpected hardships, and I was surprised by a number of people who tried to help me. I didn’t even expected so many people being so nice to me and cheering me up. I understood, that struggles make us stronger and show real feelings that people have to you. I just want to thank to all of you guys! I really appreciate it:) To sum up... I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and liked the stories I shared with you. Thank you very much for your attention! See you in real life:)
