Hi Victor,
I am really glad to share with you my thoughts about Ukraine. Frankly I have never been there. Howevre, I would love to be. Fourtunate enough my eldest brother has just come recently from there. This was third visits to him. He is really like your country very much otherwise he will not be there for 3 times. People there are very nice, places (The nature) and weather are lovely and beautiful. He can sense the impact of commuinsims as the country was previously part of Soviet Union. I Think and this is my brother views as well, the country should try to follow the global trend. You can not stay stagnant and all things surrounding you are moving. For example, in order to encourage tourisms, they should start to teach English language in the school and they really started as my brother told me but it is too late. I wish you and your country the best of luck.
Sure will talk later.
Regards, Yousef |

Hello Victor,
My name is Ramona and I am from Romania. When I red about your country, the first thought it was Snake Island. Maybe you know about the dispute between our countries.
About Ukraine: It's a big country, bigger than my country. You are about 45 millions people. The capital is Kiev. Everybody knows about the worst nuclear accident from Chernobyl. And maybe about the Yushchenko's Orange Revolution.
Regards, Ramona |

Hello dear Torsten! I am very pleased to say welcome to our friend Victor and I expect that he will be an active member in this forum. In my country we learn Geography and History. So I know that Ukraine is located in southeast Europe, its capital is Kiev which was known by his famous football club Dynamo de Kiev. Ukraine is bordered by Belarus on the north, by Russia on the north and east, by the Black Sea on the south, by Moldova and Romania on the southwest, and by Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland on the west.
Ukraine was one of the founders of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In this period many socialist students from Morocco have studied in Ukraine and now they are well placed in their country.
Now, Ukraine is independent of the Soviet Union and has political crisis. But Ukraine is a strong country, so, its people can reach the European average level in few time. I hope so.
Best regards. Abdelhamid |

Hello! I'm Ludger and I'm also a new member. Talking about Ukraine, I don't know much about this country. I come from Madagascar.Ukraine brings me back into memories of Republic of Sovietic.The story was not very good but I think that changes can happen. I believe... We shouldn't be closed... Finally, let's focus on improving our english. |

Hi there,
My name is Delia and I'm from Romania.....so we are neighbours....I live in Satu Mare, a town which borders both Hungary and Ukraine. Even though we are "closed" I have to say I really don't know much about your country, except for the fact that you love sports, you are good at it....and we are rivals in gymnastics...:) And what I know is that your products are less expansive than in Romania and many people from my country (especially here in my town, or towns close to the border) go shopping there. Still, I don't really know much about your life style, but I hope we keep in touch and you'll tell me more. I am interested in intercultural exchange.
Best regards, Delia |

Frankly speaking i don't know much about Ukraine but the first thing that comes to my mind is of course the disastre in Chernobyl!Cause there are things that cannot be forgotten during the whole live. And I remember Viktor Yushchenko with Orange Revolutionl. P.S Having read all the messages in the forum I've gained lot of knowledge about Ukraine. |

Hi Victor, My name is Ganesh. I am writing this letter because my Teacher ask me to write to you about your country (Ukraine) I append below some interesting information about your country.
I am very surprised to hear that your country's rivers and lakes freeze in winter...? So how the fish and other creatures live during that period? The main Ukrainian river is the Dnepr's it is one of the longest European river. Ukraine is one of the world's main centers of sugar production. Ganesh |

| HELLO! I am from Latvia (but now live in Scotland), so I know quit a lot about Ukraine. I always watch Russian news and I can see that in your country now is nearly chaos. I mean your government Yuschenko and Timoshenko. But I want to tell about your people. When I came here first time (it was 4 years ago), I had to share one house with 24 people, because we worked at farm as a students. And 18 gays of them was from Ukraine. We all became very good friends, I till now we contact to each other with some of them. They every time invite us to Ukraine and I hope once I will visit your country. :D |
