I was born in a Soviet era. I come from a poor family of a factory worker and a school teacher. We were doing miserable, probably better then villagers but still I do not belong to the Soviet elite ( commies ) or those box workers ( rockets, weapon ) who lived in closed towns but were given a bit better treatment.
So saying I don't like Soviet is nothing. I do fucking hate it. That's actually why i never go to Croatia, I can sense those Soviets from far away, I always drive to Italy.
Odessa itself was OK before 2010. It began to get dirty, authorities dont do anything to keep up the city style that actually has many good looking old style buildings. And recently it became a slut town to visit. It's like Bratislava but on the sea

Just saw Uzhorod and Mukachevo, strange cities, seem not like Ukraine at all.also visited Carpathians etc...
I may always live in Soviet Truskavets and go to spa every day :-) |
I was in Lviv back in 2014 last time, they made up the central part but did nothing to the rest of the town. I'd choose the area on the hill to stay, near the big park in Lviv, sorry, dont recall the name.
Chernivtsy is a small but nice town, it would remind you of a smaller Lviv, the central part is Ok.
I actually spent some good time in Truskavets back in the day, i had to go a local Telecom center to oder a dial up u/p to work remotely from a hotel. It's similar to Krakow weather wise, rainy and humid.
Uzhorod and Mukachevo - those are sort of transit towns, been there but never stayed.

Right, that area offers so many people with a tech background, I heard welders go to Canada
though.

Been around several major cities in Poland, I cant find anything that suits me better than Krakow. The Eastern part - fuck it, no go. The North is cold, rainy and far away from Italy
+ ruuskies everywhere in Gdansk. West... I have given many visits to Wroclaw - fuck no, not my place. Warsaw - harsh people, lots of UKR/RUS - fuck it.
Overall I like it in Poland. There are things I don't like, but after 5,5 years I call it home. Slovakia and CZ do not come any close IMO.
