Ukrainian underground fashion 

After Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity in 2013-2014, and a wave of demonstrations in 2013, young Ukrainians were tired of not stable country situation and needed some kind of breakaway from reality. At the time there was almost no night life and that was where Slavik Lepsheev appeared with Cxema club in Kyiv opened in 2014, after Euromaidan.
 Cxema is a place, that gathers together Ukrainien youth, which is all about freedom and just want to have fun and dance to, mostly, techno music. However, Cxema is not just a rave party, it also has it's own "fashion scene". People attending those parties have their own clothing style strongly influenced by the 90's. There is also domination of sporty outfits. Many people wear fancy, oldschool sunglasses in the club and chains are also quite popular. New generation of Ukrainians is mostly not very rich and, because of it their outfits are inventive in order to be original. It is hard to determine Cxema's frequent visitors fashion elements, because of occurring variety, but basically it is all about creativity.

    It would be interesting to learn a bit more about the clothes themselves and what they look like. What you've written sounds very general. Maybe a photo could help? Think about it next time.

Man that conducts my extra english course is all crazy about health. He always checks composition of the food products and if there is something that is not healthy, he doesn’t buy it.  This made me think about how much time he wastes everyday thinking about what he’s going to eat. As a humans we live almost 100 years thanks to modern medicine and we are not ill that often. Paying so much attention to food seems to me not really necessary. I’m obviously aware how unhealthy food we are buying might be, but at the same time we are quite healthy despite chewing gum and drinking fuzzy drinks. I believe that it’s not about restraint but moderation.

You often see couples showing their affection in public. Not everyone would admit to that, but it's great satisfaction to show that you belong to someone and vice versa. People are afraid of loneliness and feel proud of achieving such relationship. Most of the people don't think only about love and desire that they have for another person. Social status that partner can give them and fact that they can show what a good catch they've got is also important. I'm aware that with time they often evolve into something deeper, but it's pretty shallow how it starts. In conclusion, people are more primary than they think they are.

I noticed that many people complain about young kids and teens being whole time on their phones. People recall their childhood when they were playing outdoors as this better way of spending free time. I remember when I went outside to play with other kids I didn’t spend my time in the most intellectual or even socializing way possible. We were just running around and irritating residential area’s security. Every generation has their own way of wasting time and none of them is better or worse. Times are changing and it doesn’t have to be necessarily bad. When they invented car people were complaining that people don’t talk so much with one another as before because no one stops on their way somewhere for gossiping with their neighbors.
