HOW FOREIGNERS SEE UKRAINE

Ukraine all becomes more interesting to

foreign tourists — now at us it is possible not only to look notorious

at "Post-Soviet exotic», but also is very cheap

(to measures of foreigners) to do a bit

of traveling on country, to walk

around mountains of Carpathians and

Crimea, to regale on local natural dishes

and, certainly, to look at the Ukrainian

beauties. The majority of tourists go to

Ukraine behind such exotic

In a year to Ukraine comes about 500

thousand foreigners. However, only about

200 thousand as tourists, the others —

on work. While, for example, to Prague

comes about 2 million travelers a year, to

Warsaw — about one and a half million.

In Ukraine tourists soon becomes more. First, with

arrival to our country of cheap airlines, will tumble down not so such provided the people, as now (only for flight to us

from the Western Europe it is necessary to pay 400 euros, yes plus still very not cheap residing: in hotels the most plain number — from 100

euros), secondly, ten thousand citizens will arrive to our

capital for Euro-2012. These visitors, as a rule, don't speak in Russian, on-ukrainski, and

wait for unforgettable impressions.

The prices for vodka in Ukraine pleasantly heat soul of any

foreigner. For such money to buy a bottle it is impossible in one developed country of the world. But surprises them that vodka at us — not only a hot

drink, but also a medicine practically from all illnesses

even more. ))

As foreigners we like:- Undisturbed countryside and panoramic beauty of the Dnieper.- Low prices on alcohol.- Ukrainian girl.- Most semi-divine attitude toward foreigners, especially in remote areas and among officials.- Home fruit from the garden of the grandmothers, are sold around the metro and in some markets.- Friendly people who are trying to help.- Yogurt, Kefir - all of our abundance of dairy products.

What is shocking to us foreigners:- High prices for food and shelter.- Aggressive, screaming conductors in the transport, which is often mistaken for policemen or security guards.- The system of tokens in the subway and hurt his knees beating turnstiles.- Toilets in trains and public institutions.- Difficulties in communicating in foreign languages - too few people own them.- The complete absence of labels and signs in English.- Women's clothes, which sell directly to the underground passages.

That advise to make to us: — To open information centers for foreign tourists, in the underground and transport to make indexes in English. — To put things in order with toilets in a city and trains. — To oblige militia, the waiters, serving to know at least elementary English. — To be engaged in advertizing of the country in the West — Not to force foreigners to drink.
