No more lines

by olgaehr

What happened to those long lines? I remember my grandma used to drag me and we had to stay in them for hours, i would be in bread line and she would be in milk line. Well no more!Ukraine grocery stores are full of food, lots of food. So don't bother to pack snacks with you or try to impress your Ukrainian friends with box of chocolates or bottle of champagne, it's all there already. Chocolates, Vodka, Tea, Snacks

Street vendors: Babushka

by Enzyme_X

If you ask me, babushka is more russian invention than ukrainian. But, hey, those two once shared a country and it's naturaly you find foreign influence. So it's no wonder that nearyl every stal, selling souvenirs has a large choice of babushkas. Babushka (acctually meaning ''grandmother'' or ''old lady'') is a set of hollow and painted wooden figures, placed into each other. You can buy traditional ones, which represent true babuskas, or you can choose more moder ones, more funny ones (among them a set of differnet presidents). Set of 15 figures costs 120 gryvnas

When u are in Ukraine if u have money u can buy almost everything u like.U can buy in shops, on the daily markets (rinok) or at the bazaar.Most big cities are like Westerneurope shops and their prices as well...From fresh milk, cheese, fruit, vegetables, clothings, shoes anything u want.For ukrainian people its not always possible because of their low salary..

ZUM - shopping centre at Kreschatik street: Shopping in Kiev

by valeria78

You can find here men's, women's and children's clothes, local craft, jewelry, toys, shoes etc. I was interested in Ukrainian knitwear, but I had a chance to buy just 'one' jacket from Ukranian knitwear. However , I was impressed by a dress from Latvian knitwear and bought it too:-)))

Cds

by frockland

Even if you don`t like Ukrainian music its worth to check out local music shops or vendors on the markets. CDs and DVDs are much cheaper here than in western countries. Often music CDs are in MP3 format. Most of them are so inexpensive because they are illegally copied. Do a virus scan before you play them on your PC!

Caviar

by frockland

There are different types of Caviar. The best and most expensive one is the black one. Give it a try and eat it like the locals do, on a buttered slice of bread with some Vodka and enjoy the taste of the raw fish eggs.

Vodka: The National DrinK

by frockland

Vodka is usually distilled from wheat, rye or potatoes. The taste (if it got one) comes from what is added after the distillation process. Ukrainians like to take a drink, sometimes until they lose consciousness. Vodka is available everywhere throughout the country.
