		<title>Food, glorious food.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the best things we got to do during our Christmas vacation in Budapest and Vienna was eat.  And drink.  Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong: Ukrainian food is delicious.  But, there&#8217;s a definite lack of ethnic variety around here.  We have pizza places, although the pizza usually consists of a thin crust topped with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hedgehog in the Fog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a great time tonight celebrating the New Year with my counterpart Olha, Emma&#8217;s director (Olha&#8217;s father), and their family.  New Year in Ukraine is roughly equivalent to our Christmas – it&#8217;s a big family holiday with lots of traditions.  So we were honored to be invited to prazdnovat (праздновать) with some of our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merry Christmas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re definitely having a nice time here in Vienna.  We&#8217;ve walked around lots of Christmas markets, drunk hot mulled wine, eaten roasted chestnuts, thrown snowballs at statues of random Hofburgs, and gorged ourselves on good food and beer.  Tonight and tomorrow we plan on going to all the Christmas masses we can take, including Christmas [...]]]></description>

		<title>Armfight!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you missed this storyline, I&#8217;ll give you some background.  Emma and I met the local weight training coach this summer when we were living in the Lyceum dorms with his star trainee, Sasha. An invitation to come to his training hall and get back in shape somehow evolved into me agreeing to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving Thanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we&#8217;ve now made it through two American Holidays in Ukraine!  After teaching our students all about Halloween, we took 3 weeks off due to a national H1N1 quarantine, only to come back to school just in time for Thanksgiving!  Last week&#8217;s English classes and clubs included vocabulary words such as: turkey, pilgrim, Native American, [...]]]></description>

		<title>There Once Was a Dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago we got this old Russian cartoon from our language teacher called Жил-был пёс (zhil-buil pyos) &#8211; There Once Was a Dog.  I found it lying around on the hard-drive again today and thought I&#8217;d share it.
It&#8217;s a great little story based on a Ukrainian folk tale.  Beyond being a fun little [...]]]></description>
