Euro<26, mentorship and the market

On Monday I got my special Euro<26 card.









We had a laugh that it is kind of worthless in Belarus, but still Europe remembers and takes care of me.







Then I found this:

Not that bad - I still have 3 places that take the card.

Things are going a bit slow right now, which gives me some time to get used to the city, feel at home, get used to buying food and cooking by myself.

From Minsk - Impressions

Had a first meeting with my mentor and a separate meeting with the EVS project coordinator and Fialta's executive director. I see them every other day, but this time we closely went through my expectations and composed a plan for future doings.
Looks promising.

It's kind of hard to find good vegetables in supermarkets. In open markets on the other hand its a lot better, but... They don't give receipts at the market. It means I can't report to the National Agency about what I bought at the market. We're clarifying the financial report scheme with the Agency, maybe it's not that bad? But for now I collect receipts for every single thing I consume.
