fo' serious?! =P

so, im back from belarus. and it was SOOOOOO much fun!

to be honest, i had one big issue before i left. i was scared that i would really understand the language. and, yes, i was born there and i do speak it fluently. but, after hearing english 24/7 for the past 8 years my russian brain kinda takes a wee nap. and, it doesnt want to function (and tell me the right words) sometimes. BUT the good news is the minute i spent my first day surrounded in russian my russian brain fully woke up and had a wee party! =D

there is only one bit of major news... i managed to get into hospital. YAY. not. i was feeling a little sick, and my head was spinning. we came home and mum told me to go lie down. my temperature climbed to 38.2 degrees, and after that my granny told mum to call the doctor out. the lady that came felt my tummy, and it was REALLY sorry on my right side, so i was taken in with suspected appendicitis. honestly, it really freaked me out and i had a little crying fit. BUT the good news is that after a surgeon and 3 other doctors felt my tummy i was sent home with a diagnosis of sun stroke and food poisoning. but they think that i might have tummy ulcers. to be honest, it was scary BUT i had my awesome family with me for support and after i was released i had SOOOOO much fun.

i think my 2 fave things were the plot. (a plot is a wee place in a country with a house and land for apple trees, potatoes, blueberries, black and red currents, watermelons, kiwis, pears and tones other fruit and veg. and everything is truly fresh and truly scrumptious). and i loved minsk - the capital of belarus. its really big and built up but really belarussiany at the same time. =)

so, i loved my holiday and it was awesome to see my grandparents. and if anyone is thinking of going east - go to belarus. its rudy marvelous.
