Answer

Була б тут культура, було б що вивчати. 
Основні відміності наші - це прислів`я "моя хата з краю", "не поїм, то покусаю", "темна ніч, але сало краще переховати". Ось вам і суть нашої культурної спадчини. А все інше це PR.

Answer

Турція від України через море. Приїзжайте, посидим, поспілкуємося. Чого нас вивчати? Сало, як сало.

Answer

Ukrainian culture can't be fully described in encyclopaedias. It's deeply connected with history and tradition - Ukrainians honour their traditions and like to wear traditional clothes - so called vyshyvanki. I advise you to read historical hovels that can say a lot about Ukrainian traditions. I don't know if any Ukrainian writers are translated to English, but there are good novels by Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz. You can start with a book called "With Fire and Sword". It's somewhat controversial (as all Ukrainian history). but still very cognitive and interesting.
