As we know, Ukraine and Poland are the two countries hosting the football championship for Euro 2012 in summer 2012. So at the moment our city is doing the best to prepare Kharkiv for this event. Everybody is involved. It does not mean that everyone goes across the city with a shovel trying to dig something up. :) Of course no, but everyone looks forward to this magnificent football holiday. And it is interesting to know that an event of such scale is being held in Ukraine for the first time...Great job has been done already. The old gloomy stadium has been reincarnated to a new one. And now it is a gem of our city. The airport has changed its face and now it is super modern the air gates of our city. I like to watch how my native city is being transformed. And I am overfilled with pride for it. :) Everyone who will visit Kharkiv will be amazed by its beauty, hospitality, and nice people who will meet you with the smile on their face. Not to mention, Kharkiv is a city of students....about 300 thousand students are studing here. :) ... 

I am from the Ukraine. Do you know anything about it? …..It is the common question I usually ask when I am getting acquainted with somebody from abroad. Every country has its own places of interest. Italy has its Coliseum, France has the Eiffel Tower, England has sights that are in surplus, Venice is the unique city by its nature and there is no other city in the whole world like Venice. But what do you know about the Ukraine…There are no pompous places like in those cities. But what can you find here what can you feel being in Ukraine. It all depends on your perception. First advice is: do not try to swallow it in raw condition. Like a dainty dish…try to taste it, carefully….then open for yourself something new…and enjoy it. Any place you are going to be in …..its beauty totally depends on your perception. Satisfaction from the seen depends on what you had hoped to see and feel in a certain place. Hence, don’t  expect something extra gorgeous….you just may get disappointed. Second advice is: …If you want to take an impression from Ukraine and leave a trace in your soul about this beautiful country – try to understand it by getting acquainted with its history before your journey. You do not have to go deep into history books…..you just need to find some sources where you can find useful information which will help you in your future journey and make your travel more fascinating, thrilling and exciting. You should demonstrate an ardour and this will bring you benefits. There are lots places in the Ukraine where you should go. Ukraine is a big country and It has a big extension from east to west. Thus It has people who depending on their location have its own features. If you can write in advantage to western people its furious patriotism ...but to eastern people its fervent respect to their parents and relatives…
