Here I am, joining the mass movement of bloggers. Can't say I am a big fan of making my thoughts and judgments public. Even diary was a rare element of my life. However I am so fascinated by this phenomenon and Dunc's example only intensifies this feeling even more.
Moreover my wish could be explained by a very specific situation: new location, new job, new people, new flat (second for the last 3 months). Egoistic unwillingness to write about the same things to my many friends stimulates to ‘posting’ the stories about the events in my life, about the places which impress me (many), people who inspire me (join!), about the things which irritate me (will try to be reasonable about that). However do not expect too open thoughts. I want to leave something for the e-mails to you and out conversations J
I have one problem though: my friends are more less equally distributed among three language groups. That is why the decision which language to use is a fundamental one. I’ve chosen the Ukrainian way: to be good to everybody. So I will be writing in Ukrainian, Russian and English depending on the mood and the topic. I assume Ukrainians won’t be very much interested in my raving about what’s going on in our country while Brits know too much about their country to appreciate the novelty of my ‘English reflections’.
I don’t plan many translations of the same messages. This first message is in all three languages as a polite invitation to you all. And I hope it will be appealing enough for you to wish to come back. With the comments.
As for the name it is simple: the play of words with the name of city where I currently live (Newcastle) plus explanation who lives here (U – first letter in the word ‘Ukrainian’). Subtle, huh? Sorry if too banal.
So, let us begin…
