This is me at the Mogilev's post-office where I was writing to my Khashyar. I went to this post-office almost every day for more than 1 year. I am sitting with my friend Irina.

I have a couple that I would like to post,but I dont know how. You two make a very nice looking couple..She is always smiling and thats always a great sign. The same with my Katy. I dont think we have a photo together where she is not smiling.I think I'm going to go the DCF route. What do you think??

That Irina in the picture above wouldn't have the last name Machulkina per chance, would she? She looks very much like an Irina in Mogilev that I swapped emails with a few months ago. She dropped me like a bag of dirty laundry. My loss, because she is a very cool lady. If that picture is of her, it definitely doesn't do her justice. She is both beautiful and intelligent.

Hello, Steve!

OOOO not so strong please, with my friends
I will explain to you why Irina did not write messages now to anyone, not even to me (and we are the best of friends).

Irina's sister has cancer and Irina cares about her very much. Ira is in Minsk now and helps her sister very much. The sister's husband is going to divorce her because of her very serious illness, so for Ira's sister and for Ira, this present time is full of big stresses and Ira helps her to deal with this.

Regarding "dropping" you. It's not true, because Ira is such a person that she would never drop anyone like a bag of dirty laundry, as you say, Steve.

She is a very loyal person, but now, all of her family is in shock.
I have not heard from her for some months. I just hear about her from my parents, who give me all of this information.

I have this habit of using local colloquialisms like that one, and I apologize. In Texas, we say things like that all the time, and it doesn't really have a strong effect here. Things like "beat me with a stick" and "kicked to the curb" don't really have the strong effect down here that they might in other parts of the country, or the world.

I apologize if my meaning was amplified or misconstrued by my poor choice of words. I didn't mean to imply that Irina was a bad person, or had rude dealings in any way. In fact, she is one of the nicest, most eloquent, warmest, most compassionate persons I have ever corresponded with via the net. I simply wanted to say that our communication came to a sudden stop. And now I understand why.

Please forgive me Lena! Texans tend to be more brutish and less refined than many from other parts of the west coast. But once you get to know us, we are fun loving, generous, and highly unique.

Again, I take ownership and apologize for my remark. Please let Irina know how much I liked her. In fact, I actually started checking fares to Belarus. Everything you just said about her taking care of her family only reinforces in my mind what I knew about her all the time: that she is one special lady!

Steve

PS: Now if you'll excuse me, I have to put on this cap and go sit in the corner.

Hi Steve...

I just wanted to let you know that Lena wasn't upset at all

She just wanted to let you know why Irina had not written you back...

Don't worry... Lena did not feel that you were bad-mouthing her friend or being rude...

Hello, Steve!
Do not worry, be happy!This is my favorite expression.
You shouldn’t apologize, you did say nothing bad. Do not worry!!!!
You are a great guy.
I hope you’ll meet somebody and will be happy. I wish all the best and if you need my help, just give me to know.
Lena

I saw these fountains earlier in a post! My darling Nadya (Nadzeya on this site) sent me this picture. The fountains are pretty. I look forward to seeing her Mogilev in December!

Hi Kevin...

I have memories of standing in front of that water fountain in Mogilev

There are some areas in the city where Mogilev residents love to walk and spend time with one another outside, and this fountain area is one of them...

I hope you have a great trip to see your fiance...

Khashyar/Lena,

Fabulous photo's. I think every male member of this site who has visited their partner in Russia/FSU must get a tingling sensation when looking at your lovely photo's - I know I sure did, and wished I could only teleport myself to Ukraine to be with my Anna once again! I think I will have to post some photograph's of Anna and I on here, I am sure she would love the idea

Valentine's Day must have truly been one of the most memorable and loving day's of your live's, it's great to see you both so happy

You are a very beautiful couple! I've enjoyed your photos.

Lena: I just joined your site after googling "Mogilev" and your site came up.
My grandparents (Kutikov) and family moved to Canada during the war. All my Russian (Canadian) relatives are now deceased, including my mother who passed away when I was 17.
Now that I am a bit older I really would love to learn whatever I can about the city they lived in, their culture, etc.
I feel like a part of me is missing somehow (is that unusual?) even though I've never had to opportunity to visit Mogilev.
My bubbe never spoke more than a few words in English but my mother spoke English at home because my father was Canadian.

Anyway, I'd love to hear anything about Mogilev!!!

Spaciba~!
Great site by the way!

Hello Natalya!
Thank you for your nice words and comments. Sure, I will be happy to share with you info about Mogilev, Belarus. I love this town, I love my culture, I love Belorussian people. I will write more about it and if you have any specific questions, I would love to answer. My advice is to travel there and see with you own eyes and experience that culture. Believe me, you would love it.
