Famous Places of Ukraine
It’s wonderful to acknowledge charitable giving in Ukraine, whenever and however it is done. Even better is acknowledging that the Kyiv Lions Club, now three years old, will again host the now 10th-annual Robbie Burns Night party, all the proceeds for which will go to their eponymous charity fund, to be distributed to local charities.
Short-term apartment rentals continue be the accommodation of choice for guests to the Ukrainian capital, and for good reason. Hotels here tend to be either ridiculously expensive, or the service they offer is so bad, people figure they could do better if they just shopped around.
Seafood lovers have in the past had to suffer in the nation’s capital. Despite the fact that Ukraine borders two seas and can boast hundreds upon hundreds of kilometers of rivers, the people of the Steppe remain true to their traditional fare of meat and potatoes augmented with beets and mayonnaise.
With the Lunar New Year set to begin on Jan. 29, it’s time to start thinking about where to get some red-colored dishes (symbolizing good luck), or something with lots of noodles in it (symbolizing long life), or traditional, sticky sweet rice flour balls to remind you that life can and should be so. Thankfully, Kyiv is not as completely homogeneous as it might seem.
Bukovel, our winner in the Best Of search for Ukraine’s top ski hill, impresses in every way. In addition to having fast, modern lift equipment, rental facilities and restaurants, they actually print trail maps, too.
With the mercury plunging and the frost on the windows thickening, it’s safe to say winter has arrived. For many this means staying indoors away from the cold, but to the Best Of team it means getting out to enjoy the best the winter season has to offer, such as skiing.
