Driving along the streets of Starobilsk you might be tempted to ask yourself or your local friends when the roads is going to begin.
Well, it began somewhere on the city outskirts, but our traditional curruption prevented the road from genuine construction and turned it into another imitation road or merely a direction.
That’s what our drivers call our roads: merely directions.

If it rains, forget that you own a car - take a bus or a grab a cab. At least the local drivers know every porthole by heart...
