Hi there,
I`m Julia, newly here. How about creating a club for people from different cultures, let`s open the boarders between different countries, languages, religions?
I`m sure there are plenty of foreigners in my city, who has something to tell us, Ukrainian, about their unique traditions and cultures.
If you need help in learning Russian, German languages, just contact me. I`ll be happy to be helpful.
If you are native English/Italian/French speaker - it`s a treasure for me to learn these languages while communicating.
Maybe culture exchange will help us to create more open society
The first step to understand foreign languge - is to be open for a new culture...

Hope to find here good friends.
Peace

Hello, Julia

I will be traveling thru Ukraine soon and wanted to find a place to stay in Poltava, but not the Palazzo Hotel, which is too expensive. Any thoughts on a pensione or small flat I can rent for two nights. Cheers. paul

Try Hotel Ukraina. I stayed there in 2007. Inexpensive, clean, very friendly and helpful staff who speak a little English. Rooms are nice. Also a good central location near the cnetral park.

Where do you live in Canada? How many times have you been to Poltava?
Would like to chat with you. PM if you log back in again.

Just curious to pick up this thread...

Julia (just_me), are you native to Poltava?

If anybody is still interested in this, I can join/help you ladies and gentlemen.
