Don´t do this in UKRAINE !

💬 Comments on the video

I am an Indonesian (Southeast Asian) who visited Ukraine for three weeks last August. I didn't experience any racist treatment from Ukrainians whether in urban Kyiv&Lviv or rural Zakarpattia Oblast'. In my feeling, it turns out that they found my existence (especially when I was in Zakarpattia) an interesting case. Even I often got locals greet me with 'Hi' or 'Good Morning/Evening' and sometimes we made small conversation due to their curiosity and of course their hospitality. The only racist attack I got was by two drunk Serbian tourists in Lviv.

I would love to go back to Ukraine :)

Ukrainian here. Totally correct, russian-speaking person NOT the same as russian, especially in Odessa, where most people speaking russian but mostly are actually Ukrainians or Jews, etc.

Been all over Ukraine. Born and raised in California as Italian, German, English descent, visiting Odessa, Kiev, Chernigov, Cherkassy, Nikolaev, Xerson, all were so beautiful and the people are so kind and hospitable. Ukraine and the Ukrainians are amazing! i greatly recommend vacationing there!!!

It's not a "conflict", it's a war. So you can add this to your "don't do" list... Don't call a real, hot war a "conflict".

I am from Ukraine and right now l’m reading all this good comments about our country and l am SO happy and proud! I hope that soon Ukraine would become more modern, beautiful and interesting place for everyone! This video was the best video about Ukraine l’ve ever saw. Thank you for showing everyone the beauty of Odessa))) I hope that in the future more and more tourists would come to see it!

I from Odessa, and its true about russian language.Really, most of the people dont speaking ukrainian, but everyone understand it.

I can clearly understand how infuriating it can be to be called 'russian'. Here in Poland we sometimes are called, "from Poland? So you are just like Russians and you speak Russian right?" No that's totally wrong... I can see that we are not the only ones...
Greetings from Poland!

Wow, it's really interesting to watch this video, when you are Ukrainian. I would recommend to visit western regions. I'm from Kyiv, but this summer I was traveling to Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivzi ang ooomg. I fell in love with those beautiful cities. People there are really polite and old centers of cities are just really beautiful) And by the way, roads there are OK (can't say that about central UA)

Совет — для тех из вас, кто действительно хочет научиться практике общения на английском языке эти Видео являются прекрасным УРОКОМ разговорного языка;
...это даже лучше, чем ваш местный учитель!
Слушайте фразы по несколько раз и заучивайте произношение; а также, смотрите и слушайте побольше подобных видео-сюжетов.

Dany is right! Most Ukrainians are friendly and open minded. I had a very positive experience while traveling through Eastern Europe, 3 months total ( Ukraine, Moldova & Romania). Even though I stood out, most Ukrainians treated me very well. I remember being on a train and a family helped me with my bags, as well as share their food with me. I look forward to visiting Odessa one day. Keep these great videos coming!

There are lots of english speaking people in Ukraine)

this video is a bit problematic. If you want to try to learn any language to be better understood in Ukraine, learn Ukrainian not Russian. You can still speak English, younger people will understand. But if you want to show RESPECT to the country you are visiting, learning few words in Ukrainian would be better. You DO NOT HAVE TO. Russian will work, but it is not the same. Like, so much not the same.
Also, the war is war, not a conflict of course.


One more thing. Regarding crime. I have been living in a small town in Canada for 3 years. Over the last 3 years I have witnessed MORE crime than over the previous 25 years in Ukraine. Yes, some things might happen to you just because you are foreign (as in any other place/country), but do not talk about rural areas as of some scary dangerous places.

- Public transport may be overload. The rules of payments in public transport are different in every city
- Some people still say "Rubl" instead of "Hrivnya"
- it would be cheaper to buy new sim-card if You want to use 4G
- Ukrainians in common still are not gayfriendly. You can find gayclubs only in big cities (one per city)
- sometimes it is difficult to find a restroom (toilet)
- don't ask in shops "why is it so expensive" about non-ukrainian goods
- Don't expect smiling while conversation (it is normal to be serious)
- if You are invited into someones appartment - be ready to take your shoes off
- Goggle maps may work bad in Lviv
