I was at a baptism party. There were seven of us: Three women, three men and the baby. I don't follow the conversation around me well, but when they seem like they are talking to me, I repeat the words. One of the guys said, "Samogon" and I repeated it. One of the ladies laughed. They took out this two liter bottle of vodka called Samogon. They said it is higher grade than what is mostly available in the stores, and it was home made. We began taking shots, and eating after each shot. In a half hour, the three of us guys finished half the bottle. We would have finished the bottle, but one of the ladies had to go home and we were asked to accompany her. That was probably the most shots I ever had in one sitting. Another time, I was stuck in Zaporozhye airport when the plane needed service. It was 9 AM and all 25 of us passengers spent our time in the restaurant/bar. It was 9 AM when the waitress started serving me and another man in the table food and drinks in shot glasses. It was a mistake. It belonged to the table accross the hall. I tasted the shot glasses. It was vodka and it was 9 AM. leonfromkherson Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/31/2009 10:35:13 AM   ragingbull, Did you like Samogon or not? ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/31/2009 4:31:47 PM   I only drink hard liquor socially. I have noticed I have a high tolerance for it, but I try to avoid it. As I think of it now, it was good. I try not to think about what's good or not in hard liquor. My late father was able to drink a fifth in one sitting. I don't want to end up like him. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/31/2009 11:26:28 PM   Leon, how about telling us what you know about Samogon? What is it? How is it made? I asked, but I'm sure some of it got lost in the translation.

It is VERY STRONG home maden vodka Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/1/2009 6:52:00 PM   ragingbull, I can beat that, I sat in Zaporozhye airport at 7 o'clock in the morning on 02 January 2005, our flight became indefinately delayed due to fog in Borispol, and all 12 of us passengers hit that bar, you'll appreciate what a 'cr@p' of an airport it is, thus you can just imagine 12 people partying from 7 o'clock in the morning with snow storms blowing outside, it became hilarious and we eventually staggered on to the aeroplane the best of friends with each other :) leonfromkherson Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/1/2009 8:19:34 PM   Samogon (Vodka, Alcohol) connections people :) beemer18 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/1/2009 11:55:10 PM   Martin.....don't try staggering onto a plane in US.....I guarantee you will not make that flight....must be different in ukraine, maybe because if plane crashes, you won't feel a thing!!! ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/2/2009 1:16:03 AM   That was probably the same flight on aerosvit, martin. It was a seven o'clock flight, and the waitress served us the vodka and borsch at nine. How about them Zaporozhye airport toilets? They were below ground. I think you had to hose them down to flush them. Their excuse was mechanical problems. The plane, a two propeller type, was on jacks for hours. When we finally got on board with the plane engine on, they turned off the engine. Of course, we thought that meant more delays. Not really. A mechanic went up a ladder and closed an engine compartment with a phillips screwdriver. The engine went on again, and then it went off. The same mechanic went up the other wing with the screwdriver, but the engine compartment was already closed. There were three of us that spoke English, hanging together. The guys that drank the vodka only drank a couple of shots each.

Only saw the toilet in the domestic (tin shack) terminal, the one with a curtain around it, I think I went for pee's outside rather than use the toilet(s). Don't criticise starting aircraft with screwdrivers, I can still recall that on a De Havilland (Bombardier) Dash 7 aircraft (PT6 engine) if a starter generator will not engage then a quick whack with a hammer in the right spot solves the problem :) ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/2/2009 8:39:49 AM   They didn't start the aircraft with the screwdriver. They forgot to close the engine compartment. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/2/2009 11:42:07 PM   I was alone on the train ride from Simferopol to Kiev. I left my gf in Simferopol. In the train cabin, was a husband and wife and another man. The married man spoke English, his wife, a little and the other man none. The married man told me we were stopping in Dneproprestovsk and there will be people there selling smoked fish. I bought enough fish for all of us. The other man brought out what looked like a plastic bottle of grape juice. It was high grade wine. That smoked fish went really well with that wine. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/5/2009 7:22:53 PM   i have only tried samagon once, during the summer and it was fantastic! made by my betters half's best friend's grandfather! she's just come back from visitting him and he gave her a bottle to give me, so i will try some again soon! the samagon he makes actually tastes really good, which is surprising given how strong it must be! /pete bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/6/2009 8:18:51 AM   well I might be in Kiev in 5 weeks. I look forward to taking Pete and Olya to dinner as well as one of my lady friends. I am sure we can find a little some thing to drink while I am there. the only thing I miss when I do drink there is rum and coke. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/6/2009 9:02:55 PM   sweet! let me know if/when you'll be here! so far i have utterley failed to meet anyone from this forum here in kyiv! we might be moving flats soon, to get a better price, but we'll certainly still be here in kyiv, prices for flats have really dropped since the summer. vodka and coke isn't so bad!?? olya is curious to see if all western guys are quite as crazy as me... lol /pete beemer18 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/6/2009 9:38:30 PM   hey pete...gonna be there for a few days in mid april to meet up with a gf.....darned it wasn't sooner, maybe bowhunter can take us to dinner too.
