(M : Marta T : Torres All: Gemma, Gini, Jessie, Abby, Cathy) Script. [Background]Marta, three girls and bad guy are joining a learning camp. Marta is walking alone. Three girls are staring at her oddly. M: (In Ukrainian) Excuse me, I am Marta. Can you tell me where can I find the washroom? [Talk to Marta and walk around] Gini: Hey!

T: A limey? I hate their speech. M: I come from Ukraine. All: I see. M: um. [The girls turn around and whisper] T: Hey hold on girls.She is a Ukrainian. She is not even an Asian and she is different from us. Lets hit her. [Comes out suddenly] [Marta is unhappy as shes discriminated by him][All ignore Torres] Gini: Ukraine? Is it a country in Europe? Gemma: I know a little bit about Ukraine, it is located in East Europe. The territory of Ukraine was a key center of East Slavic culture in the Middle Ages. Jessie: However, the history of Ukraine dates back many thousands of years. The territory has been settled continuously and it is also a candidate site of the origins of the Proto-Indo- European language family. Abby: Absolutely, also their flag is in blue and yellow. T: But why does she dress up like this? I dont like her. We are Chinese people, we dress T- shirts, sweater, trousers, jacket, etc. Comfortableness is most important for us. However, Ukrainian dresses in an immobile way. Cathy: Hey, Ukrainians national clothes are the Baroque style, which is very common in their country. Abby: Ive heard about the Baroque style. The costume of women consists of long skirt, blouses, head wraps and scarves. Cathy: Males also features embroidered white tunics. There are paired with pants. Depicted here is a typical wooden mug attached to the man's belt, probably for drinking beer. Jessie: Absolutely. T: Thats so strange. We dont use wooden mug to drink. Thats a big difference. Then what
about their special speech? Abby: They are used to speak in Ukrainian, thats why they speak English in a special way. As for Ukrainian, Pryvit means Hi, Diakuyu means Thanks, Pa-Pa means bye, bye . All: Ha-HaThats funny. Jessie: And thats why we cant understand what she said before. T: [Start to feel sorry] Now, I thinkI am curious about Ukraine, can you introduce more? What do they usually eat? Gini: Ukrainian love to eat salted fish, pickles and sweet stuffing dumplings. Breads, potatoes and dairy products are the main food. Generally they do not eat squid, jellyfish, sea cucumbers and mushrooms. M:[Happy] Yeah~yeah~yeah Gemma: Moreover, they emphasis on taste sweet, sour but oily and spicy food is also able to adapt. Cathy: They love to drink vodka and beer too. T: I am so sorry, Marta! Every country has their culture. I shouldnt do this to you. M: Never mind. Then lets continuously talk about the Ukrainian.
