How easy is it for an English-speaking person to travel around Ukraine? I'm looking to get from Lviv airport to Ivano-Frankivsk. Would the journey be easiest by train? Can I book in advance? And is there enough information at the stations for an English speaker with no grasp of the Ukrainian language to figure out what the hell is going on? Thanks.
Good morning! I am from the USA spending 5 weeks in Ukraine with 3 weeks in I-F (I arrived last night). I am considering moving to this city/oblast within the next couple years to do longterm environmental/animal research. This is my first time in Ukraine so I am spending time on this trip to just spend time in new cities, with the most time in I-F because of its location near the mountains and natural areas.
I do have some day tours/excursions planned (trips to Carpathian areas, a 2-day trip to Drohobych) but for the most part I will be here and I do not have a car so, planning to walk around the city a lot. I am interested in urban nature so, probably sitting in parks and watching people/animals...but of course I can only do this so much. Are there good places to spend time outside which might be interesting to observe?
I will also need to do work/writing while I am here. Are there are any coffee shops, cafes good for spending a few hours writing? Maybe places students go? Are university libraries open to the public and could I go write here? I have my hotel but don't want to only stay here!
I also do not speak Ukrainian yet (I will begin a class later this summer but, not yet). Are there any meetings or meeting places where people who want to practice English go? That way I can help people practice English, and I can also meet some people who live here. I am also fluent in Spanish.
Thank you for your help! I am going to go out walking now, it is a beautiful day!
Hi,
October 11th I lost my iPhone X on the streets in Belgium (am Belgian). I immediately activated Find my iPhone but I didn't hear anything for months.
Yetserday I got a notification that it was opened in a phone repair shop in Lanchyn, Ivano Frankivsk Oblast. I contacted them via Whatsapp, they tell me they haven't seen my phone but I have proof that is was there.
Anyone suggestions on what to do?
Hi fellow redditors,
I heard Kolomiya is home to amazing handmade fabric.
Does anyone know any markets or stores where I could buy linen/cotton fabric, vishivankas, carpets, towels?
