Country snapshot: Ukraine ( many pics )
I don't wanna paste you official info here, let me say it IMHO:
People mostly speak russian and ukrainian ( very close languages ), I feel that there is a majoring 'village' culture spreading out, thats where bribes come from, we do business with those who we know. Urban culture is taking over big time here, cars, noise and stuff. Several mobile providers you can easily choose and by prepaid packages on the street. There are budget food chains and fucking expensive restaurants, service level is abit above 'maniana' , but if you insist on serving you they magically get their asses up and you get the chance to lower the tip because of that :) I dont go disco but i heard they are not bad, girls are nice looking, but they are also soo $$ oriented, they can calculate ya on your look :) Beer is good and pretty cheap, me personally I would recomment Irish pub O'Briens for meeting up with friends. Feel free to ask about living here, but visuals come first: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3186/...e1276e6a_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3064/...96c4a3de_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3275/...a58939c1_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3065/...0bb06b71_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/...6efd7e7f_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3173/...cb9a4f52_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3137/...a19aced8_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3147/...184eb32a_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/...c715f736_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2281/...cd1fb379_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3065/...c4ec47c9_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3160/...fda5ce1d_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3094/...6a220fee_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3120/...f19018aa_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/...5ee0b273_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3033/...d3117859_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3094/...8deb8342_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3170/...83789004_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2289/...e1fc425e_b.jpg |

some really nice photos and good to read your personal thoughts on things
you are probably talking about Kiev, correct? what do you mean by "maniana"? |
Kiev built by German prisoners of war...
Should get American Prisoners of war to rebuild Baghdad... |

I read a report recently that ranked Ukraine at #5 for "Least Happiest Countries." Zimbabwe came in at #1.
Denmark was ranked #1 for "Happiest Country." |

I think it's too hard running small business in Ukraine ( tax, laws, reporting, tons of papers, bank interest rate is to high, no small business loans ). Many people who work in government sector they complain about low wages and poor social security. So it's like if they wanted to run small business they would but there is no environment for that. More, years of Soviet influence made people LAZY and erased RESPONSIBILITY from their minds. Thats where burocracy comes from. A Lazy bastard, complaining abut life, could block your initiatives demanding a bribe... I would go outta here too. But it seems like G.W. Kust made rules for H1B super tight and northen beavers scared their people with taxes to shit. And finally, biz is getting offshore. |
