I just spent 4 days in Lviv, Ukraine. If Lviv is any example, one can get almost anything you want locally. Most cities I presume are pretty well-stocked. I cannot comment about experiences in smaller villages, though. Restaurants are no different than in America.
Good option could be to call with mobile operator Life:)Currently, they propose int'l calls (any country, plan "United world) for 1UAH/min. More at their web-site: http://www.life.ua/index.php?area=mylife&lng=uk&page=3-57 and of course - in the shops with well-noticeable red sign LIFE :)Address: Khreshatyk, 24 for example: http://www.life.ua/index.php?area=mylife&lng=uk&page=5-2
i like many things here with Ukraine but this is myfavourite thing to eat from Ukraine together with meat or fish. It is something like rice but it is not. I cannot explain it, but many ukrainians eat this every day. I am from sweden, and we eat a lot of potatoes and this is the potato of Ukraine, something similiar. So good. When my friend alla cooked kasza.
Do you know that in Ukraine there are special auto plates? There are some plates exist that tell police about to what class the driver belongs to: rich, police (militia), secret services, government or just common worker. Why is it so important for people to have different plate numbers from a common Ukrainian? Because if such a car will speed up on a road, militia won’t stop it, otherwise, a militia will be in a big trouble. You will ask me why? Because of corruption and bribes. For rich it is the privilege to have car plates like “777777” or “333333” (sorry I don’t remember how many digits on Ukrainian plates). Last time I visited Kiev, I watched TV news about 100 privileged plates that were given to common Ukrainians. The drivers were happy very much. Militia was proud to do such a generous gesture. But I was sorry to see that simple happiness and could not understand why such numbers...

Ukrainian people are using the Cyrillic alphabeth. Languages which are similar are: Belorussian, Russian, Polish, Slovak and 'Old Church Slavonic', as well as to other Slavic languages such as Czech, Bulgarian, Serbo-Croation, Macedonian and Slovenian. It belongs to Eastern group of Slavic (Slavonic) languages and is the most ancient live Slavic language, being the most closely related language to Old Church Slavonic.The common language of ancestors of modern Slavs as well as like Sanskrit it is one of the closest languages to the common language of the first Indo-Europeans (Aryans).

Horilka is the Ukrainian word for Vodka. It is an ancient term for the spirits first created in Ukraine's heartland almost 800 years ago. 'Horilka' typically includes many different vodkas with a variety of flavors or just plain vodka. Soomska Horilka Pryhodko, flavored with St. John's Wort (Zvirobiy) and Buffalo Grass (Zubrivka), together with a secret selection of other fine herbs, is an authentic horilka for which Ukraine is so well known. An extremely smooth vodka, perfect for cold shots and mixed drinks with a special twist.Soomska Horilka Pryhodko (under previous label Soomskaya) was awarded the Silver Medal (89) points by the BTI World Spirits Championships. Their following review was published in Wine Enthusiast Magazine (April 1998). My family makes their own various kinds of vodka like most Ukrainian people but they called this vodka: horilka, pronounciation as gorilka.Some of...

There are many left houses you can see in country side. Owners can’t sell them and leave for another place, or old person lived there and after he/she died, none wanted to live in that house, because it is too old. In this house on pic railway observer lived. I remember this nice house when it was alive and it was really nice. Now it looks ugly. Railway almost doesn’t work so none needs railway observer.
Pirogovo – museum under open sky near Kiev.Many families in Carpathian mountains lived apart and very far from each other. Sometimes the distance was some miles. For being safe and not to allow others to get inside house, the owners built building such way that they form a square with large yard inside. There was no window outside. Life was only inside of private territory and all doors were closed. Family lived by own life without knowing what happened in the world outside. Only on some holidays and after autumn they went to trade fairs (“yarmarok”) to find out news and “to show themselves”.
