Go West!

"Elope, Peter with Natalka" A folk painting by Fedir Pohorilyj
We will be heading by all night train to Ternopil (out west) next week. I'm going to give presentations on "How to Teach Presentation Skills" and "Error Correction: Breaking Bad Habits without Breaking Spirits". I can't help but think that it will look much like the folk art of the traditional Ukrainian folk tales out there. We will see. Apparently, the organizers are planning a trip around the area by car. Wow! a car! I can count the times I've been in a car (it's usually a taxi and the total is about 5) since I arrived here last September.

Anyhow, I'll leave you with a video of the Pet Shop Boys doing "Go West", a song that came out when we lived in Bulgaria (the first time we lived in Eastern Europe).

Going west doesn't sound so bad, Jen! Perhaps you'd like to bring your presentations up north -- I can always use some guidance on presentation skills :)...
