After a considerable break from this forum, due to an 8mth relationship ending with a Ukrainian girl, and my not giving up and at last finding the right one for me it seems, I am now able to read (and participate in at times) my favourite forum again. In-fact, the ONLY forum worth reading for helpful information I have discovered since beginning my own personal "journey" in 2007.
So, I left England for good in August. I have a one year Business Visa and live in Rovno (Rivne) with my girl in a flat that I took when I arrived here. It's quite large with a spare room. If anyone is visiting UA soon, or in the near future, you are welcome to stay in my flat for a maximum of 2 weeks. Just give me something towards the electricity, water etc, say 100 grivna per day (current GBP exchange = 7.66) If you're coming from the UK you can fly in to L'viv or Kiev then get the train here to Rivne, or, you can take a bus from London to Kiev that runs every 2 weeks (I've used it many times) This bus stops in Rivne before going onto Kiev, I am happy to meet you at Rivne bus or train station, I don't want money for this. If after a few days you are not comfortable in my flat then there are 3 Hotels you can choose to stay in here. My girl speaks almost perfect English and can help you with translation if you are meeting a lady in Rivne.
I can show you around the city, nightclubs, restaraunts, cafes etc. Introduce you to some genuine friends that I have made in almost 2 years of visiting Rivne. I do not want any money for this.
i dont visit this site much anymore but it still proves to be a good laugh at times..
but as usual it often gets unneeded comments as yours MicBin.
knocking a man with a good offer..
Sir Dan if i played in that area i would take you up no problem.
thieves i mean backpackers in Kiev are 50$US
two "Stella Artois" sounds like a bargain to me for a night..
it amazes me how all the other western countrys a far from new zealand with there stronger currencies and easy flights to ukraine russia or what ever,,, and how tight some of these guys really are...
or am i missing something here, or are you a bl**dy kiwi:)
Plus an English person/speaker to spend time with while here.
But MicBinch, you stay in whatever country you are in and stick to writing girls from the Internet, and I'm sure somenoe will be along soon who will be very interested in coming to West Ukraine and staying with me & my girl, and happy to give us a little money compared to flat and hotel prices !
I personally think this is a great offer for someone to "sample" the flavor of West Ukraine. If I was not committed (engaged) I would be more than happy to take up the offer if I was travelling to this area. 100 UAH per day is a down right bargain for a room with all the "perks" mentioned.
Sir Dan..
I am travelling to Kiev this week and need to come to Rovno to see a lady I have been writing to. I have some business to take care of in Kiev first but I wonder the best way to get to Rovno from Kiev? Maybe I can take you up on your offer to stay at your place.
I've just chatted with my girl about the ways from Kiev to here in Rivne, although I already know this because I've done it, Train will be around 6 hours, Bus will be about 4.5 hours. Trains run twice everyday from Kiev at 7am & 15.20, Buses run every day and every hour. At Kiev Train Station you can get the bus (right outside McDonalds) They'll have a big sign in their windows "Kiev to Rovno" The cost of the Train is 28rph and the Bus is 65rph. My girl advises that you get the Bus, just walk up to the driver and tell him "Rovno" The Train can be tricky buying a ticket at the counter if you don't speak the language.
I would of sent you a pm about this but I've changed my Avatar a few days ago and they still haven't approved it, until they do I can't open or send pm's…..come on Fiancé . com !!
Have a safe trip Jon and I hope to meet up with you, even if you choose not to stay here with me and my girl. It will just be great to associate with another English speaker for a few days, go to the Café's and Disco's, if you like such places.
Sir Daniel
Am coming to Rovno 22 July to meet with a girl for the first time.She wants me ,for the 6 days I am there, to stay with her at her house, but I feel maybe it would be prudent to defer that until we have met and to see whether we 'click' in real life as much as we do on our skype video calls.
So if offer is available would not mind your room for a night or 2 and the benefit of your knowledge as to the dating of UA girls as it is quite possible that this is the one!!!!.
