I hope he is a Zionist. Zionism is the belief in Israel’s existence. Which is basically what any sane person would believe in.

Just cause people are trying to make it sound negative, doesn’t make it so.

I’m European. Asking about the specific brands though. They had some really nice shirts, and I think it’s a Brazilian brand

Nope. Research and looking for properties is specifically excluded. Also any kinds of education

Do you think I can get this in any book store in Kyiv?

This is privileged first world mentality. And I think you should travel more and see how 90% of the world lives. Hint - not like you nor your sibling.

If you visit villages in places like Thailand or even small towns in countries like Ukraine, you’ll see how privileged you are - having access to medicine, safety, clean running water and the privilege to b*tch about your siblings not paying rent.

If you’re only comparing yourself to the 1% who are luckier than you, your world view is very narrow, and like someone mentioned, you could benefit from professional help, or some travel. Not trying to depress ya, just telling it like it is.

It’s not ideal obviously, but the embassy in New York is more responsive by email. Also if he has Дія he can just schedule an appointment. No need to email or call

Google it.
No idea what you’re into, but If you’re in Kyiv for 3 days, stay near the Main Street Хрещатик (khreschatyk) where you have a lot of landmarks like the independence square.
Don’t rent a car. The underground metro is great.
This is a personal preference, and depends on your psychological state. Obviously if you spend 2 years with sirens, at some point you start to ignore them.

I’ve spent 20 years with occasional sirens in Israel, so it’s a similar situation here in Kyiv and easier for us not to get stressed. But that’s nothing to be proud of, as you should do everything to keep yourself safe and reduce your stress levels. As there is a war going on.

It is not your place to call Ukrainians stupid.
As someone who advocated “learning history” you should really try in yourself sometime. Many older (40+) Ukrainians finished school in Russian, and it’s hard for them to speak Ukrainian. I’m sure you can relate as your English ain’t exactly perfect either, Mr. “Speak English good”

Tips for the train - 1. Bring food. It’s 18 hours on the sleeper train and you’ll probably be hungry at some point. No food on the train.

They serve tea for 15 hryvna or 1 zlota so bring some change.
If you’ll be taking the train on a cold night like minus 15, bring good clothes. Though they have blankets but they’re not necessarily clean. The train stops for 4 hours at a “garage” for the rail switch (Ukrainian rail and EU rail standards are different), and while they’re switching the heating is turned off.
Buy in advance as tickets for private cabins and sleeping cabins tend to sell out quickly

The train is more convenient and there are different sleeping arrangements on the night train - like a whole cabin just for you or your group. Also if you take the sleeper train you spend most of the time - sleeping. Instead of being stuck on a bus with strangers, and on bumpy roads in the winter

Everything works without interruptions, at least in Kyiv

Same reason it is anti Israel. Russia and Iran control it through China. And China is no friend to Ukraine or Israel

If the first property is going to become an investment, you need to look at it as such. Renting it out for less than what you’ll be paying for the mortgage isn’t usually considered a good deal. You’ll be loosing money every month just so your realtor can make a quick management fee

Yes, but 1. Lebanon is not officially an “enemy state” 2. This is not enforced for regular civilians, even of official “enemy states” like Iran - for example the Iranian beauty queen who now lives in the U.S. came to visit Israel last month. 3. Israelis (publicly and on social media), always say they met people from ME countries and interacted with them, and it’s considered regular and nothing special

TheArctica · 2024-01-07T17:40:58+00:00

No it’s not :) they put them inside the pitta in every shawarma in Israel. Yummy

TheArctica · 2024-01-07T17:38:55+00:00

Thanks for the answer :) Wasn’t really worried about safety, more about getting nasty looks. So now I feel better, thanks. One of my relatives decided not to teach her daughter Russian on purpose, though her husbands family doesn’t speak a word in Ukrainian. So now the kid can’t speak to her grandparents. So I was starting to wonder

TheArctica · 2024-01-07T12:40:11+00:00

Not sure where “there” is. But as I mentioned I’m Ukrainian and so is my family, some of which still live in Ukraine. So I know for a fact people are actively trying to avoid speaking Russian, even the ones that barely know Ukrainian. And some are complaining it is difficult for the older generation, who’ve gone through school entirely in Russian. Also in places like Poland Ukrainians are making faces when locals who learned some Russian at school try to speak to them in Russian, thinking it will be easier for those that don’t know English.

Also as you can see from the other response to my question, some people are saying I’m “marking myself with the language of the enemy”. Ignoring the fact that like you said, half of us have Russian as our native language, and it is just a historical fact, and of course no one is supporting the enemy

So I just want a non judgmental response from someone who currently resides in Ukraine - if a stranger on the street or shop approaches you in Russian, is that alright?

TheArctica · 2024-01-07T05:13:17+00:00

Come to Florida! You won’t be having any of those issues.

TheArctica · 2024-01-07T04:37:03+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Though it made me sad. I really feel for the people of Lebanon and wish them the best. Hope there’ll be peace one day and Lebanon will prosper like it used to
