How to meet people in Zaporozhye? by Jaycey01
I鈥檓 a retired English South African living permanently in Zaporozhye with my Ukrainian wife. It would be nice to meet up with other English speaking expats or locals for coffee or other social events.

Do you speak Ukrainian? by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking fluently Ukrainian is essential for a successful integration in Ukraine. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Ukrainian? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a ...
In the west it鈥檚 mostly Ukrainian but in the east where we are (Zaporozhye) it鈥檚 Russian. I鈥檓 open to correction here but I would suggest that in either case it鈥檚 probably better to learn Russian as it is more widely ... Read More
Essentials to live in Ukraine by Christine
Hi, As an expat living in Ukraine, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along? What are the items you can easily find in Ukraine? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive? Share with us what you would ...

I believe that the 禁漫天堂 is doing a great job but Ukraine is bigger than just Kiev. Surely there are expats in other areas as well - or are they just shy :) ? As a retired couple in Zaporozhye we would be delighted to meet up with expats or ... Read More
