My native town I was born in Tallinn and now I live in Kyiv, but I still think that my native town is Uzhhorod. I would like tell people what is it like. Uzhhorod is Ukrainian town situated near Carpathian mountains. One can see them from many streets of the town. Uzhhorod is a little town, only 120 thousands people. So when you are walking throught the city centre you willcertainly meet though one acquaintance. Uzhhorod has lovely old city centre, where there is so nice to walk and think. I so used to have such place in the city, that I wont be able to live long in the city without old centre. What about people they are very tolerant. Until I came to Kyiv I thought that there isn`t nothing special in it. But in Kyiv I faced a lot of discussions about language and culture (mostly Russian vs Ukrainian). In Transcarpatia (region were Uzhhorod is situated) nobody cares about this. Here live Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Gypsies and many other nationalities. Nobody makes any problems about different languges or cultures. People learn from each other and leave in peace. Also I have to note that the majority of people in region are villagers, what is not typical for Ukrain. If somebody asked me what things I associate with Transcarpatia I would answer: dark pink roses, briar, coffe, wine, honey, technical grapes, mountains, mineral water, recreation. In Uzhhorod you can see dark pink roses and briar just in the streets as usual plants. And there are very good coffee in Uzhhorod. For not very high price you can buy a cup of perfect espresso or cappucino in any caffe. Every spring and autumn there are fairs. And one of the main products are wine and honey. Both are produced in Transcarpatia villages. Technical grape is one from that wine is produced. I like it more than table, because it has more tart taste. It is sold only in regions, where wine produced. For example I couldnt buy such in Kyiv. It is understandable why mountains is so important, because almoust all region is mountain. And at the and I whant to explain why recreation and mineral water. There are a lot springs whith mineral water in mountains and in Uzhhorod too. So that there was built many sanatoriums for rest and treatment. I could say much more, but think that even this story too long and not everybody read it to the end.
