A walk in the park

by Yurii Rymar (Ukraine)

A leap into the unknown Bulgaria

This story begins 3 months before my journey. There was employee from job agency for working in Bulgaria. I was on cloud number nine after his stories about easy work ,girls and sea. I had thought that it would be a walk in the park so I applied my documents for this job as a waiter or barmen(all depends on your luck) or how it called summer practice. I am student in small town in Ukraine where is not any job for student , so, unfortunately , many students go work abroad for hard job ( mostly in polish or german farms). They make some money and visit other countries because it is the only one opportunity for mostly people in our country – work abroad on low paid job for natives but normal for us, immigrants . So I suggested that this work would be great option to spend summer – free food and accommodation, easy work. Three month on the Sea, what could went wrong? Furthermore, my classmate also applied for this program , All seems normal I was very nervous before the journey, in last night at home I kicked wall by my leg in dreams. Let the journey begins. Bus, 36 hours in road , I had expected it would be more painful but ,all in all ,it was not bad. All my feelings had stopped when I saw it, my hotel called “Sunrise” but for me it was sunset. .Then I had met up with stuff ( they also was from my university, but I had not met they before it ) and after that they showed me our “room”. Our accommodation were horrible, we did not have even window in our room By the time I would have friends there. First week was terrible , our manager was a really bad person , can you imagine a person who had been punished for years in school ,university, etc. and now he pay back for all society. First time I did not get along with stuff. And due to this it was twice harder. But sea was really breathtaking. By the time things had not changed at all but I could handle it , Other I will not tell . But imagine , Gang from 7 people ( boys and girls ) , long nights, no control and Bulgarian Sunny beach. It was legendary
