Well, you'll find a surprisingly high number of people who think that "the Ukraine" is part of Russia - which is is not. Thanks for your sly humor, and for not browbeating me too much for the use of exaggeration in the word 'hilarious' that I used. You're too kind.

I liked living in Ukraine, compared to the other countries I've lived in (Botswana, U.S.A., China). I worked with environmental NGOs there and sidelined as an English teacher. I plan on going back after I get my Masters degree in Social Work in the U.S. Here's some articles I've written on living in Ukraine. https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/minernor.../articles.html

Well you said that you found the situation "very amusing" and "hilarious"...I just assumed you were very easily amused.

Still couldn’t care less though.
