St. Nicholas Day II

So earlier where I mentioned I had a gathering with my OC team for a little celebration. Well, it wasnt really like a celebration, it was more like a catch up. Somehow I felt some of them werent really wanted to be there, but whatever, if all their lifes is about studying or their bf/gf, they are to pethetic =p Also, there is someone from another country coming into your city, your country and you are not eager to show your hospitality or want to know more about this person's country or culture, that is just speechless for me. But well, I met many people like this.

Ok, so this gathering in a special cafe was pretty nice, they have a variaty of coffee, tea, chocolate etc. And the atmosphere of the place is really good. We were there for about 1 hour+. I had white chocolate which I thought was a drink but it was warm chocolate to be eaten.

I got something from St. Nicholas too! Candies and mandarin, LOL! That was good enough for me, to experience something like the Lvivian!

So when I was waiting for Toha/Aton. (Will tell you about different Ukrainian names, they are s much fun like Svitlana is also Svieta, Dmytro is also Dima, etc, the official and nick names of the Ukrainian.) I was expecting some high school student with him. But I saw Tania which I think she should be in the Uni or maybe have fisnished uni. Then I found out she is working for a furniture company and later on found out Aton's parents own the company or at least a bit partner of the company.

So it was crazy for us to walk about 40min to the skating field because Aton didnt know how to get there buy marshurtka (bus). At the skating field, we were lucky because it want too many people, most people are partying somewhere because it was a big Friday night!

Then I was expecting to meet Aton's friend, I was expecting some kids in their 15/16, but I was shocked when they were women from their late 20s to 40s... not kids but employees who work in the furniture company. Anyway, the gals and women are still, pretty.

Havent been ice skating for a long time. The last time I skate probable was 5/6 years ago in M'sia's indoor skaing ring. It was a pain getting into the skating shoe as the previous user kinda fucked up the show lace. Then Aton was helping me fixing it he made sure the shoe fit well or I may get sore legs later.

So we went into the skating ring and i saw people skating, falling smailing, screaming. Well, Some gals screamed before they fell, so it was nice to watch. And I enjoy watching people fell. Come on, where can you find free live comedy?

Most of Aton's friends can skate well, inculding himself. Except Erica which had a bad experience on skating because she fell on her last session. We skated for about an hour and I didnt fall, maybe because I spent to much time laughing at those who fell when I was standing.

It was fun when I skate, it was cold for a bit, especially my hands, but later on it was fine. Many times I was off balance when I tried to do something stupid but I was glad that I'm flexible enough to stay on my feet. And I've learnt how to skate backward!!! Muahahahahaha! Well, not too fast yet but I know the trick now!

There were majority young people skating there and many pretty Ukrainian chicks of course. Then us, like other people tried to do the train where the 'locomotive' were moving all of us in the line. Aton said it was very tiring and I could see why when you are pulling abut 6 people for about 2 min that needs some strength!

So that was for the fun night and Aton was being so nice to ask his parents t sent me back to the school by car. OMG, it was the 1st time I was in a car in Lviv in about 2 weeks+ XD
