Hello Everybody, Just a quick few things about Ukraine and traveling in and around. There are large ques going in and out of Ukraine, Be it by car, train, or bus. If you dont mind the travel fastest route is via Moldova and Polanka crossing. From Chisinau its about 1 and a bit hours drive. Or get a local bus from Bus station no 2 straight to Odesa. The cost can be as little as 1500 uha or as much as 3500 uha you need to shop around. One pointer, If your going to visit friends or even volunteer, Unless you have a letter from Ukraine with an invite, DO NOT BRING MILITARY GREENS etc, may be obvious, not too but it happens.
If you enjoy extreme sports, then traveling around the Ukraine at the moment will give you a rush, Buses , trains and taxis still works, life is still moving, new shops open every day, there is still clubs opening at night , you can still get drunk out of your tree and sleep in the street. (until you get a helping hand from the police , lol)
If you not of a nervous type, please visit, the economy needs a little boost, Housing is still cheap, good exchange rates.
Slava Ukraine
