    Welcome to my short essay on my impressions of life teaching in the city of Izhevsk in Russia. It is a land of many extremes, a land of enormous distances and wide open spaces that would dwarf anything one has seen before. A place where one gets a welcome break from the fast-paced, consumerism and fast food mentality of the west and see something much more deep-rooted and steeped in culture and tradition. Here one may see hundreds of people on the street and wonder at how grim and hardy they look and then meet the same people in their homes and wonder at how friendly, fun-loving and sincere they are ?more

    Privet vsem! Hello to everyone!! I am Chiara, a former volunteer of school #27 and English club. I guess I can skip the reasons why I decided to go to the middle of nowhere to teach English?I suppose all the volunteers have the same desire to experience something new, different, to have the chance to see real Russia and for some of us?the possibility to learn or practice Russian! Some have such a wonderful time that they go back again, but I?m sure other people would never ever repeat the adventure again. As for me, I?m looking forward to going back. I left so many good friends and I really miss them a lot.

    There are a few things you should know before you decide whether this kind of experience is what you are really looking for ...
