Ukraine aka: Ukrayina

That’s right Boys and Girls. I grew up right there, in Kiev, Ukraine. Def want to go back and visit sometime. So many great places and things to see.

I was born in Keiv & immigrated to the US when I was 5, So I had to go back to see my grandparents at least once before I die. Anyway it was alright, the buses looked as it they would break down at any moment (which they did!) I was pretty shocked I had to pay money to squat and pee into a hole in the ground “toilet.” I enjoyed the fact that everything is natural over there, there are always fresh fruit and vegetable vendors and there are no Hydrogenated oils or that goddamned High Fructose Corn Syrup added to any foods. I also like the fact that people dressed exceptionally well, not like slops in the US.

i cant say i “visited” ukraine because i kinda lived there for most of my so far short life…as a tourist destination its not five star but my years there were amazing…

Probably won’t have time for much, but I hear Lviv is worth the trouble of getting to.

This country is so interesting with all the monuments of communist regine scattered all around the country. Very exciting and cheap country!

I’ve only visited in the summer (twice) so can’t tell anything about the winter, apart from the fact that it will probably be quite cold!

I was born in Ukraine. It has six years worth of my life, and every consecutive summer until thirteen. I’m almost eighteen now, and it’s been too long.

I need to go back.
