I think of its rich slavic culture, namely its association with ancient Rus, embroidered patterns of ancient pagan spirits, wooden cottages, and old churches. I think of endless fields of sunflowers and blue skies, and the Black Sea. :) I guess the reason why would be that all these things are associated with Ukraine in some way and they're just the first things that pop into my head when I think of the word Ukraine!

not much pleasant ^__^

Hmm, a Ukranian friend told me they have white cheese too. I also think of Andrey Danilko (Verka Serduchka) hehe. And... people asking Ukranians "Oh, Ukraine? Is it capital of Russia??" :)

hi, I only think i d like to visit but not sure if good place to go on my own with a rucksack. But i have a question. Sometimes i enter a site with news from ukraina and oftenly i see pics of women almost naked demonstrating and some happening in which bodies naked are quite common. There seems exiost a movement called Femen or similar. My question is: whats this movement or this expression of nakedness?, is it that usual in ukraina nowadays or just the site thinks reader would like to see this kind of news. The site is ukranews.ru, no porn site or alike. thanks for telling me anything about this.
