Tsunami in Hawai'i - emergency management in action

Yesterday experienced how emergency management works in the US. 

First news came as a notification about Tsunami alert from Google (usually i get annoying weather updates). In 10 minutes the regular TV programming was stopped and live coverage on tsunami began. Later the sirens and loud speakers from vehicles (and perhaps helicopters) were heard.

Ty mene pidmanula - girls play and win

This famous Ukrainian folk song we were singing as a contest in artistism and performance skills, today on a party for all LFP host families in Hawai'i @ the Fischlowitz-Leong house.

Winning was the girls' team, led by Natalia from Moldova and Zalina from Russia. The prize was a breath of canned air from Odessa, Ukraine. ;)
