I agree with all of you... She really has no idea what she is talking about... But Neither do you. Ukraine isn't such a poor horrible country like you think it is. Yes, life is hard, but life is hard in diff ways everywhere... i know a 22 year old that got "stuck" there after living in the US (and beeing totally happy here), and that at first wanted to do all she could to come back. And now she is very happy and has no reason to leave (she is from there originally). I think the girl here doesnt really know what she is talking about, but i was a lot like that too... her parents put this notion in her head that israel is bad, and she absorbed it and now totally believes in it... its all about the edutaction. when a child hears at home "it was better in the homeland..." all day long that is what is true in their head. she might go back there and love it, you never know... kat
