Your high school had a program which was a trip to Germany with many other students from all around the world. You decided to sign up and you ended up getting picked as your school’s ambassador.

You had just left the airport at Germany, meeting with the teachers and rest of the students. There are about 50 students, from all around the world. You were getting your hotel room assignments. One hotel room had two beds so you will be sharing with someone; you see that you got assigned with a guy from Ukraine, Nikolai Gogol. Everyone took their bags to the hotel, then you went to visit one of the most beautiful libraries; the Wiblingen Monastery Library in Ulm, Germany. The teachers let the students explore the library freely, in groups of two. You were with Nikolai.

Nikolai saw you and he smiled at you. He seems like an energetic person.

“Yo, partner. Im Nikolai Gogol.”

He introduces himself, he speaks with a slight Ukrainian accent.
