Hi Michael I would suggest a smaller city such as Sumy. Crimea is nice also but full of tourists and pro daters. make a few contacts before you go to get a good price on an apartment.
Regardless of where you go, You can find reasonable short term apartments. As a foreigner you will still expect to pay 5-900 dollars per month
in big cities but as low as $300 and up for smaller cities.
I spend alot of time in Kherson. Its a short drive to Odessa, has reliable daily trains to Kyiv and prices are good for apartments, even in city center.
Oh, did I mention? Its full of pretty girls and 3 good nightclubs. In the summer its especially appealing for finding girls
I'd go to Donetsk or lugansk, or south of there. Makeevka is a very small friendly town with amazing women and no one goes there I don't think. Never heard any English there.
strange post 007??
for when are you coming 2 ukraine, is it for the beautiful city parks in the spring or lying on that crimean summer beach getting burnt, or for both of these in the autumn months
2 strange for i have never heard of a german not working for 2 months either but im sure you will get back 2 us on this
anyways you need contacts in ukraine for an apartment or you will be stuffed in2 paying what ukrainians thinks ye old german guys should pay which is muchchc $$$$$$ daa 2 much $$$$$
of course i would recomend rivne or lutsk for thats where i live
apartments here with the help of my girlfriend (lyudmila)are around $200 a month or get yourself from a sharp, very sharp ukrainian maybe double that
2 end 007 when you do come here bring plenty of $$$$$$`s you will need them much!!

Hate to state the obvious but Kiev and Odessa are the best places. Odessa is really nice in summer and lots of things to do and Kiev in any time of year. The other obvious thing is that it is where most of the women are. If you want to take some trips to other towns do so but base yourself where the action is!
Tom Shea, yeah all eastern Ukraine is sooooo friendly :))))))))))))))))))))))) sorry but it's bullsh*t! They can kill you just for no reason if you walk there at night...
I've never tried to rent an apartment for more than a few days at a time - for short term rent I find that "knowing someone" is highly overrated.
I found a perfectly nice (I thought) apartment going for $50 in Mariupol. My Mariupol girl's mother told me she "knew someone" and could call in a favor for an apartment at $37 (!?!?) per night - it was the worst dump I have ever seen in my life. First time I have ever seen a cockroach and they were all over.
Moya,
About 2005 i had a male friend acquaintence who fell in love with Odessa.He was tall young dark and handsome and was receiving all the attention a hungry man wants from women in clubs. But he was loud ,and very obnoxious, who also flashed his money to everyone he did not know.He was renting an apartment for many months in Odessa and was not coming home for a good while . After being drugged and mugged on two occasions he finally did come home to USA. In a casket . Found dead and beat to death. I am friends of his family. A very true story.
In 2003I met my first fiance in Odessa, she was actually from Moldova, but she knew the ways of both places.
She taught me NEVER to open my wallet where a stranger could see inside. When I had to pay for something she always positioned her body, casually, between my open wallet and the peering eyes of any bystanders.
As we walked down the street one day some small children who were beggers, asked me for some money - as I was about to given them some she advised against it and insisted we go into a restaurant that was right there. We didn't eat we - just looked out the window and I asked her why I should be so worried about little children beggers. She said it wasn't the little children to be worried about - they were decoys. And we watched as an elderly couple kind enough to stop and give the children money - was quickly rushed by much bigger teenagers who had been waiting behind a corner. In an instant the teenagers were gone - with the man's wallet.
She taught me Eastern European street smarts VERY and I only ever got in trouble when I DIDN'T follow her advice.
Smart A,
If jetmba was here for 30 years , who cares ? Is it not a persons individual right to choose to live his own life the way he pleases ? If he dies dating and not marrying FSU ladies, more power to him,it was HIS choice. He is living HIS life.A man with his experience is invaluable to a forum like this.I am not taking sides but these jabs that are thrown are really not accomplishing anything , or are they to some ?
Moya,, I don’t know how murder rates compare between US cites and Ukrainian cities,,,, but Chicago has one of the highest,,, or the highest murder rates in America! It also has the strictest gun laws!!
" Smart A,

More power to him??????
Right, sure..I got it now, thanks...
" A man with his experience is invaluable to a forum like this. "
Um, yes and no..
Yes..
Because jetmba.coyote will still be on the forum in the next 10 years and if you combined all the apartments, motels, hotels, restaurants, taxis, a go-go strip joints, cheap hookers, cheap jewellers, etc, etc he has stayed at or used, I'm sure he could tell people where to stay and where not......Because when a person who travels that much, you would be mistaken for a foreign correspondent, or a international business man or a person with family in the FSU countries..
No....
Because, jetmba. coyote is a person who is a cheap arse and the places he would choose to stay would be a run down scabby joint.
Jetmba.coyote he is a person who is a failure in his own country and cannot find a woman there because they see him for what he really is, a creepy 57 year old fool.
But, sadly, jetmba.coyote tells peoples on the forum how 'successful ' he is with women 25-35 years younger then him..
Jetmba is a creepy old sexual predator that visits 3rd World countries where the young women are poor and desperate for money..
Jetmba.coyote is such a w-a-n-k-e-r, he didn't give a woman $300.00 dollars because he's afraid of being scammed and for that amount of money, he would have to work a double shift for a week in the shitters at the casino's...Yes, jetmba.coyote, aint got shit when it comes for being flushed for money ( pardon the pun )..
Add to the fact, jetmba.coyote told the good peoples on the forum, he found out the woman was in desperate need of the $300.00 to survive, he admits this and he still didn't send her a fucking thing!.
Jetmba.coyote is a fool living in denial...He will never be married and he will never find success because he is the problem.
