http://www.manslandtraveller.villamansland.net The last beautiful days in September 2009 I use on 14 to 25.09. to make a trip to Ukraine to me to see land and its people. The trip was in excellent manner by a young friend (26 years), organized by me, who works as a diplomat in the embassies of western Ukraine. Particularly it is thanks to him that the trip great indeed expired, I in any city in which I have made a stop, a boy had qualified as a leader is available, which for me the tickets private homes Hotels and organized and led me expertly through the cities that made me particularly interested in this first trip. And I visited Lviv, Odessa, the Crimea Simferopol, Sebastopol, a formerly secret Navy Base, (Yalta) and of course Kiev.

Itinerary:
From China it went on 09.14.2009 with www.wizzair.com together with a friend from Heidelberg for € 29.99 directly to Lviv, the former Lviv. There we already got a 21 year old boy, Nazar, the airport, who spoke very good German and us directly for about 20 € per person / night, a nice apartment in the center of Lviv worried and we immediately take a taxi for a few Hryvnia brought there. The emblem is the lion of Lviv. It is a very poetic city. The old town during the war and the subsequent extent times have remained intact and was taken with a cultural heritage of humanity in the list of UNESCO. Lviv is a university city and therefore young people meet here on particularly large number of people.
Lemberg (Ukrainian: Львів, Lviv, a city in western Ukraine, capital of the district Oblast Lviv, the seventh largest city of Ukraine, with around 735 000 inhabitants [1] largest city of the historic landscape of Galicia in Wikipedia can be all over the city. better read than I could describe here.
It is difficult to get in touch with the people, for it speaks only Russian or Ukrainian, and hardly any English or even German. It is therefore particularly important to have a leader there. Everything is in Cyrillic, so that if you yourself do not speak of the Cyrillic is also no map reading, etc.. The people themselves are very beautiful, especially the young. But as I said, it is very difficult because of the language barrier to get in touch with them. Maybe you have to live there longer than to spend a few vacation days?
are at gay bars it:
"Bravo", 6, Nezhankivsky and André Gay Parties ", 17 Krushelnytskoyi street and the Badyorist" public bath house in the 35, Turgenev Street (all read about in the Spartacus 2009). But as I said, to find these locations must be able to read Cyrillic and Russian-speaking, it is understood by anyone else what you want. The age is 16 years (also read in Spartacus).
I have met very nice people and I will certainly go there again next year when the weather is better again. Maybe someone wants to join my friends with me to the trip? Some pictures of the city, young people and I add my impressions right here.
