... , wish we had another day to while away here. An entry on Sevastopol would be incomplete without a final paragraph on our hotel. The Ukraina is an old Soviet place doing its best to make it in the new millennium. Our room had been renovated to western ...

... å spise. Og idet du begynner å bli mett – se der kommer grønnsakene. Flott. Godt jobba. Takk skal du faen meg ha Ukraina. Et eksempel altså. Men det gjelder det meste. For eksempel om du står i kø en time, og når det er din tur settes et ...

Mamy problemy z mejlami z komorek. Ukraina wita nas czajem i pysznym plackiem orzechowym, rozneglizowanymi dziewczetami na Chreszczatyku. ...

... . Satun istuma Chandigarhist pärit hindu lähedusse, kes teab hästi Balti riike ja meie õnnetut ajalugu, lisaks vestleme Ukraina korruptsioonist ja Venemaa kuritegevusest. "Meie" hindudelt saan teada, et homme on plaanis minna autoga 7 km eemal ...

... the student section at a Cal home football game for 90+ minutes.  It was an electrifying party atmosphere.  It put Ukraina to shame and that was a World Cup match.  With no booze in the stadium, there was a constant hash ...
