Cherkasy by night

Cherkasy is overnight a very living city the. The inhabitants leave to pay a visit to their neighbors and friends, to dine together or to discuss around glasses of vodka or bottles of beer. To drink and to discuss are activities very frequent of the social life.

Dress Code: When I go to Ukraine, it is with greed that my friends abandon a little these traditions to taste the French wines that get a straightforward success over there !

Accident on Taras Chetchenko street

The circulation on the roads and in the streets in Ukraine is not easy because of the state of the pavement.
The Ukrainian drivers look more like stunt men that to drivers. Especially the drivers of taxicabs.
Supplementary reasons to remain very prudent if you rent a car, because, in addition, the police be stretch with you, if you are foreign.
Therefore, if you want to escape worries of the militia and the police, drive wisely, while mistrusting the other driver behavior, ready to make an important gap to avoid a hole in the pavement. In that of accident, him and likely that you will have to undergo a real blackmail on behalf of representing them of the authority, until they get what they want : your devises.
