The Journey

Today we finished our orientation. Tomorrow we begin our journey to Ukraine. We'll head to the airport at 2 pm for our 6 pm flight to Frankfurt. From Frankfurt we fly to Kiev, Ukraine. Then from the airport, we take an extremely slow bus to Ostroh, going around 300km, which takes around 7 hours!. I think our journey will take around 24 hours.

So good-bye, CANADA!
