 That is the main dish when you
are on dacha by OlenaKyiv
- friends, relatives and other people together;
- a lot of alcoholic drinks
- a lot of food
- shashlyk of course!!!!
- a lot of fun
- even dances
If you don't have a dacha, then you need to find a friend who has one!... Well of course dacha is also the place where you work hard - growing potato, carrots, cabage, strawberries etc. But still it is the place where you can relax from noisy city.
In conclusion, dacha is the cottage where you work and then have fun, or vice versa Leave a Comment Address: Somewhere outside the city

 Yello-flowered walls of
the fortress by IngaA
In one of the towers (Papska vezha), Ustim Karmaluk,, can say Ukrainian Robin Hood was imprisoned. The legend says that he was very handsome man and a lot of young girls came to the tower to look at him and brought him a kerchief or a scar. He stored all these gifts and then, when he had enough scarfs, he bounded them together, put it into the tower window and escaped form the prison.
Today the fortress look very picturesque, the walls are covered with nice yellow flowers - wonderful! Leave a Comment Directions: The centre of the town, old town. From the railway station,, as far as I remember, bus #19.

Kamyanets-Podilsky one of the oldest cities in the Ukraine, is considered a phenomenon of great cultural importance. A rocky island skirted by the tight loop of the Smotrich River flowing in a picturesque canyon, served as a unique pedestal on which over more than a thousand years both well-known and anonymous masters created a miracle in stone. Kamyanets-Podilsky is striking for the harmonious blend of landscape and architecture.
My friend stayed at the Hotel "Ukraine" on L.Ukrainky Str., 32. Decent place, cheap bar/cafe with excellent food. There were some problems with hot water, but he's got it in semi lux room.
