Work in Ukraine? From the question, I assume you're not living in Ukraine..... Ask your wife. Ask her why she married you. Read More

Not safe. 1. Cheap good hotels are around 80-120 USD. Better ones are 250 and up. Just look it up on hotels.com or something like that. 2. If the girl you are meeting doesn't offer you a guide through her agency, you're doing ... Read More

I remember my wife telling me that ISIDA lacked some kind of a respirator and the woman had to be shipped to another hospital in an ambulance with her baby. Obviously the traffic is horrendous and it was hell just getting to the other hospital. ... Read More

Are you happy in Ukraine? by Priscilla

Hello everyone! According to the 2016 UN World Happiness Survey, Denmark, Switzerland and Iceland are the happiest countries on earth. How about you? Are you happy in Ukraine? Do you feel happier today in your host country than before in your ...

Dulake5

It's fine here for the most part. Nothing to write home about. There are things I don't tolerate such as: I won't live long enough, so I don't care. (attitude). I am lucky if I don't have to pay, I am unlucky if I ... Read More

You need to be very careful. Do your homework. My Ukrainian wife refused to give birth in Ukraine. Her friends encouraged me to go back to Japan. I thought they were just being paranoid but after reading horror stories on Ukrainian forums, I ... Read More

Hello there, I am thinking of living in Kiev for the month of October, possibly staying longer depending on how the month goes, and I am trying to figure out what the general prices of restaurants are now in Kiev. I would have an apartment so I ...

Dulake5

Getting back to the topic, 30-50 bucks is the normal in Kharkiv. In Kiev double it. I get a kilo of veal sirloin at the meat market for 180-225 UAH. We are talking tournado quality. The women tells me that I am one of the few independant ... Read More

Could anyone be kind enough to tell me if I need anything in particular to hold onto my permanent residency in Brazil. I was told that I need to come back every 2 years, which is fine with me. I just wondered if I need any papers to file with the ...

Dulake5

Thank you for the reply. I am coming to the same conclusion. After all I already have the PR and the police told me that I have to renew it every 9 years. During that time I need to be back at least once every two years to hold on. It's not ... Read More

Dulake5

I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, bunch of tropical fish. Had a parrot. There are some really good vets so if you look around, you'll find someone that can take care of your animals if you need help. Ukrainians in general think of dogs as guard dogs. ... Read More

price all depends on where you eat. Prices have gotten a little better since the UAH has been free falling. But still you get what you pay for. If you want a good steak, good as in American standard steak at a steak house, well it's going ... Read More

Hello everyone, Being an expat in Ukraine can turn out to be a wonderful human, social or professional adventure... with potential moments of nostalgia and homesickness along the way. What are your personal tips to prevent homesickness? How ...

Dulake5

I don't get home sick but I sure miss quality service at a restaurant. By quality I mean, quality of food, service, and cleanliness. So many visitors think that this country is cheap but it's not. Bang for the buck, the service at all ... Read More
