 Why does this page call biography? Should I tell smth about me? And what should I tell? Who knows...Me???
So where I was born... In the most beautiful, green, wonderful, nice, different and lovely city of the world - Kiev… This city has everything, for all the tastes - felicity, chance and calamity, silence, comfort and noise, old streets and high modern buildings... Great technological achievments and old dirty drunk men on the streets... Lovely clever young boys and girls with the great future and cynical killers... Justice, truth and corruption with dirty political games... Peace and anarchy...
SOME FACTS FROM OUR FRIEND WIKI : 
Modern Kiev is a mix of the old and the new, seen in everything from the architecture to the stores and to the people themselves. Experiencing great population growth between the 1970s and the mid-'90s, the city has continued its consistent growth after the turn of the millennium. As a result, Kiev's "downtown" is a dotted contrast of new, modern buildings amongst the pale yellows, blues and grays of older apartments. Urban sprawl has gradually reduced, while population densities of suburbs has increased. The most expensive properties are located in the Pechersk, and Khreschatyk areas. It is also prestigious to own a property in newly constructed buildings in the Kharkivskyi Raion or Obolon along the Dnieper.
I've studied at nice school number 142, which I loved. It had physico-mathematical incline, and it was so nice, we were 28 young and clever boys and girls and each of us entered university after finishing the school :). So than I've started my study at the systems analysis department at our famous National Technical University of Ukraine... Ohhh, that was a really nice year... Lot of beer, music, concerts... And after that - evil face of mathematical analysis teacher... The year passed very quickly.. And than I was asked to leave the walls of my department... Ok, as a lot of my friends... In Ukraine U can not easily fail exams.. Ok, of course U can, but U'll not stay at University anymore...
Than some more years passed... And than the wind of changes (oh, god, why does it like to blow so much???!!!) brought me to the nice lovely country... Portugal. Ehehheeh... The first two years in Portugal was the desaster... Little village with nice name Figueiro dos Vinhos (does anybody know how much was able to drink that guy who have named the portuguese villages?). Oh, dear! What a dead, drunk, and sad place! Ok, not so bad, it's really, really beautiful, has a lot of trees and parks.. But it's awfully, horribly dead and stopped. If somebody exists there in the sky, think, he completely forgot about that village!!!
 Ok. But finally I've decided to move forward and moved really forward (comparably with Figueiro dos Vinhos) - Coimbra, "cidade maravilhosa"! Welcome everybody who admires the power of alma-mater and its secular traditions! Welcome everybody who beleives in academical spirit's existence. That's easy like that: welcome everybody!
SOME FACTS ABOUT COIMBRA FROM OUR FRIEND WIKI
Coimbra has been called A cidade dos estudantes (The city of the students) or Lusa-Atenas (Lusitan-Athens), mainly because it is the site of the oldest and one of the largest universities in Portugal - the University of Coimbra, a public university whose origins can be traced back to the 13th century. Nowadays, it has students from 70 different nationalities; almost 10% of its students are foreigners, being Portugal's most international university.
Coimbra is also the place where the oldest and biggest university students' union of Portugal was founded - the Associação Académica de Coimbra (Academic Association of Coimbra), established in 1887.
Besides that, there are also some other schools and institutes of higher education in the city: the Instituto Politécnico de Coimbra, a public polytechnic institute; the Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Coimbra, a public nursing school; and some private higher education institutions such as the Instituto Superior Miguel Torga; the Instituto Superior Bissaya Barreto; the Escola Universitária Vasco da Gama and finally, the Escola Universitária das Artes de Coimbra, an art school.
A large number of higher education students from entire Portugal chose Coimbra's higher learning institutions to study, due to the wide availability of degrees offered in different fields, the student-friendly environment of the city, and the prestige of many of its learning institutions allied to the ancient tradition of Coimbra as the historical capital of higher studies in Portugal...
So I am here, right now, at this moment living the life...
