Expats living in Ukraine and Russia

[Elizaveta]

I've been to the Ukraine and plan on traveling on the trans-siberian this summer through Russia with my girlfriend. Should be quite an adventure! And if any of you out there have done this, please share your experiences

Hello! heard you were going on a trip.Did you make or still looking into? If you are still thinking about tras-siberian I have something to say
Best regards,
Elizaveta

I want to go to Russia.

Hope you can get a hold the embassy soon. Pretty lame they won't pick up the phone. Do they have really limited working hours?

Some embassies are like that. Where I was in North Africa, the embassy was only open these certain mornings (and not even the whole morning) and then alternate certain afternoons (again only a few hours at a time). From what I heard it was easier to get a "western experience" by just tagging along with an American friend when they went to an event at their embassy! Kinda sad, but, on the flip side I was much more embraced by the locals than my American friends.

I worked in Russia more than 2 years (until recently) and I traveled everywhere from Murmansk to Vladivostok. If you want some info just ask

I've been in Odessa for about 3 months and haven't met any other expats, just wondering if I'm all alone here. Any Canadian or US expats that want to get together for a drink, drop me a line.

Wow, it looks like this forum is pretty dead but I'll try to breathe some new life into it. I just found and (immediately) joined this site today. My brother and I are hanging out here in Ivano-Frankivsk doing a little teaching from time to time. So is there anybody out here in the west?
