Dear Petro

I have been in Dnipropetrovsk for a month. At the moment i am studying at the National Mining University, so I living in a Residence Hall in a room 345 with three other students. There are from different mining towns. We have a lot common and sharing the same interests.

We are hectic up to our eyes with studying during our daytime, but in the evenings… We listen to the music, having tea and endless talks on this or that. I study at the Mining Faculty and planning come back to our town.

Dnipropetrovsk is large noisy city. Here everyone is in rush. I have tired by this tempo and missing my home and our native town. I like the week-ends here very much, especially going out down town or to a disco or night club. Unfortunately, they are too expensive, but it worth going at least once.

Although, I getting scholarship, I thinking on finding a job to earn some money.

How are you there. What’s new?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes

Vasyl

P.S.: I attached some photo of me and the place of my residence.
