Learning to skate
I didn't have the complete snow boarding tools, so we rented a snowboard, riding boots and paid for a teacher.
Snowboarding boarding Is one of the hardest sports I have tried of recent. I followed the instructor but my fear of falling was bigger than my strength at the moment.
It was so cold and I could hardly feel my hands; at some point I started feeling pain. Anyways, I didn't get to learn to skate, but I am hoping to go for ski classes. I guess it's much easier than snow boarding. I felt I was being punished riding a snow board.
The team.
I have always wanted to tour the city of Poltava. Poltava serves as a transit between Kharkov and Kiev, so while traveling, I have always wondered what it will be like walking in the streets of this city. So, finally I was able to visit the City for a tour; it was an amazing experience.
As you all know, Ukraine is not an English-speaking country, so communication sometimes can get really bad. In this city everyone wanted to understand and communicate with us; I felt at home, even more relaxed asking questions than in Kharkov, where every Ukrainian seemed to be sad and angry at themselves.

Address : (Konstitutsii Street, Zhovtneva Street, Poltava, Ukraine).
According to Welcome to Poltava), In March 1926, a monument of Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861) was unveiled in the Petrovsky Park. It is a powerful figure of the fighter and Poet made from gray asymmetric blocks.
2. On reaching the Art Museum, we were so thrilled by the colorful design and art structure. It was an amazing sight. As usual, we stopped to take photos.
It is one of the oldest museums in Ukraine that was founded in 1891. The museum is situated in the building of the former provincial government that had been built upon the project of the architect V. Krichevsky in 1903-1908. It was designed in the Ukrainian modern style that contains traditional ornaments in the front exterior decoration; that is why the museum building was indicated in the list of the architectural monuments of national value.

3. Monument to the Hetman Ivan Mazepa: Located at the Cathedral Square, it opened as Ukraine's first large-scale monument to Hetman Ivan Mazepa.

4. Uspensky Cathedral: The Cathedral in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1748-1770 years. Originally there was a wooden church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, with a two-story bell tower. Documentary written evidence of this church, which was then "Stadion cathedral" dating back to the year. Then the church was moved to the village. Ivashka Poltava region and use it to build a new church.
5. By this time we already started feeling hungry and wanted to eat but the White Arbor or Rotunda, is not far from the Uspensky Cathedral so we decided to view the beauty and the most popular attraction of Poltava, the White Rotunda.
Location: Ivanova Gora (Ivan Mountain), Poltava, Ukraine.
Lots of tourists are taking photos and having fun. The White Rotunda was opened just before the celebration of the bicentennial of the battle of Poltava on June 27th, 1909. The Podolsky watchtower and bastion of the former Poltava fortress served as the site for the erection of this monument. The fortress was not protected by stonewalls but only by earthworks, palisades and the steep slopes of the hill where it was built.
Traveling has never been my hobby, but what makes it fun when traveling is having the right people around you, how comfortable your journey is, I mean when proper arrangements have been made, which include a two-way ticket purchase and accommodation.

As you all know, I am based in Ukraine, which has lots of historical and tourist attractions.
I decided to stop being selfish and share with everyone who might not be able to visit Ukraine.
It's been a very productive week for me, meeting new people and achieving some set goals. I had so much fun visiting the city of Odessa and here are some interesting places I think you should visit if you ever visit Odessa.
Port of Odessa: Odessa is a port city on the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. It’s known for its beaches and 19th-century architecture, including the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater. The monumental Potemkin Stairs, immortalized in "The Battleship Potemkin," lead down to the waterfront with its Vorontsov Lighthouse. Running parallel to the water, the grand Primorsky Boulevard is a popular promenade lined with mansions and monuments.
The Port of Odessa or Odessa Marine Trade Port (Ukrainian: Одеський морський торговельний порт, Odes'kyi morskyi torhovelnyi port) — located near Odessa — is the largest Ukrainian seaport and one of the largest ports in the Black Sea basin, with a total annual traffic capacity of 40 million tonnes (15 million tonnes dry bulk and 25 million tonnes liquid bulk). The port has immediate access to railways, allowing quick transfer of cargo from sea routes to ground transportation. Along with its younger satellite ports of Chornomorsk (1958) and Yuzhne (1973), the port of Odessa is a major freight and passenger transportation hub of Ukraine. http://ilikeodessa.net/bulvar.html.
The port is located at the western shores of the Odessa Bay. It consists of several harbors that are divided one from another by a number of jetties, while the port itself is screened off from the open sea by a few long breakwaters located in the Odessa Bay. Just around the southern jetty (Karantyny) is a passenger terminal with a multi-story hotel at the Nova jetty. Towards the middle, there is a Ship Maintenance Factory "Ukraina." At the northern portion are located grain and main oil terminals, while at the southern there is a smaller oil terminal amid container loading quays.
Sailor's Wife Monument: Monument “To Sailor's Wife” September 2, 2002, in Odessa Sea Port. The monument depicts a woman standing on the balcony floor, holding a baby in her arms and gazing into the sea further, waiting for the arrival of the ship. The author of the modest monument was the famous Odessa sculptor Alexander Tokarev.
Opera House: Opera and Ballet Theater is a brilliant masterpiece of architecture. Reaching for Deribasovskaya Street to the intersection with Richelieuskaya Street, your eyes gaze at the stunning beauty of the magical palace, which is harmoniously standing next to Lanzheronovskaya Street. The first theater was opened in Odessa in 1809 on the initiative of the duc de Richelieu; it was completely burned. The new theater was built by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer. As the authors of many buildings of the theaters in Europe, they have created a facade in the Renaissance style with elements of lush Viennese Baroque.

The feelings that come along with visiting the memorial Complex are so strong. Something just felt so calm in my spirit, lots of thoughts dancing around my soul. This is the 3rd time I am visiting the memorial complex of glory but that same fresh feeling keeps coming each time I step into that arena. It is such an honor for everyone who fought for freedom. This is sure a place to visit in Kharkov, Ukraine.
The memorial complex of Glory is located in Lisopark, which during the war years became a place of mass executions of inhabitants, guerrillas and soldiers. One of its fields was a huge common grave—exactly at this place later was built The Memorial of Glory. The alley framed by two pylons is leading to the Motherland statue, and at her foot an eternal flame burns. Further, there are tables engraved with the names of people who rested there. In this place sounds the heartbeat of the people who fought for their land and their people to victory. On Victory day here are coming thousands of Kharkovites are coming here to lay flowers in memory of the victims.
The stately Glory Memorial was unveiled in the Forest Park in 1977. It immortalizes the undying exploits of the Soviet people fighting the Nazism (which is the ideology and practice associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party and Nazi Germany, as well as other far-right groups).
The Complex of Glory immortalized the immortal and unforgettable feat of Soviet citizens in the fight against the Nazi invaders. At this northern city limit, the Nazis executed and shot tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers, partisans and underground fighters, prisoners of war and patriots, who refused to submit to the enemy.
During the Great Patriotic War, the residents of Kharkov showed enviable courage, bravery and heroism. They stoically fought against the oppression of the conquerors, together with other citizens of the former Soviet Union and gave their lives for the peaceful life of their descendants. In honor of these soldiers, three steles with dropped-down cast banners. On one stele there is the inscription, which is to remind present and future generations about the great feat of the Soviet people: "In the battles for Kharkov 186 306 Soviet soldiers died a hero’s death."
