Hi Begemott (isn`t it the hero from the Bulgakov's Master and Margarita? )!!
In the last time that Ukraine is in my range... there are some friends talking about and would like to go on a visit...what`s the magic there?

Yes that's right, I was reading "Master and Margarita" not too long ago and I guess I got inspired.
The magic of Ukraine for me is the people and the culture. Especially ethnic culture and music. |

Yes Ginirover, i`ve got the same opinion and i`ll put Kiew in my travel list. But i think is better to go there in the summer as in Moscow where i lived some years and St. Petersburg cause of the cold winter ggghhhh

yep, summer is a great time to visit Ukraine. it's nice here from early spring till early autumn, then it's becoming colder and colder so better plan your trip for this time  _________________ Welcome to Ukraine @ www.bestofukraine.com |
