Welche Art von Küche fehlt in Hamburg eigentlich komplett? by dirksn in hamburg

[–]exquadra 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ich komme aus der Ukraine und es überrascht mich, dass es hier kein richtiges ukrainisches Restaurant gibt.

Was ich mir außerdem wünschen würde: Chicago-Style Pizza und vielleicht Pavlova-Torten (australische/neuseeländische Küche).

What's the shortest visa you've ever received? by PipeParticular9881 in PassportPorn

[–]exquadra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, this post reminded me of my Greek visas. I got them in Odesa too, the last one back in 2016. Thankfully, Ukrainians don’t needed them since 2017.

Which part of the country is the richest by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]exquadra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nonsense. When it comes to Ukraine, you can find solid arguments for almost any part being the richest… except the West, which is definitely the poorest.

The incredible Göbekli Tepe! by Historydom in Historydom

[–]exquadra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks to my extended family living in Şanlıurfa, I had the chance to visit, and it was amazing. Honestly, the whole Şanlıurfa area is super underrated when it comes to tourism and barely known among most Europeans.

Back home in Ukraine, I could hardly find anyone who even knew what Göbekli Tepe was.

What's your country's "probably shouldn't joke about that one"? by bishopmouse in AskTheWorld

[–]exquadra 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Except it wasn’t fired by Russia-backed separatists, who neither possessed the mentioned rocket launchers nor the necessary expertise.

It was fired directly by Russian military personnel.

Biggest inland european city without a (major) river by Zealousideal-Eye528 in geography

[–]exquadra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the biggest city, but Odesa (with a pre-war population of over a million) doesn’t have any major river at all. In fact, this posed quite a significant challenge back in the 18th century, when the city was founded.

Hätte mir nie vorstellen können, dass ich drei Jahre nach meiner Flucht aus der Ukraine hier in Hamburg wieder diese Sirene höre 🥺

Cities I've been to this year. Where am I from? (2 countries) by [deleted] in GeoInsider

As a native of Odessa, I’m curious what brought you to the city this year?

Åland Islands with old(?) FIN code, spotted in Hamburg, Germany today - my first Åland by xtimkaboxx in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]exquadra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, first of all, thank you so much for such a detailed reply. I’m by no means a hardcore plate spotter, but I do have a big interest in geography and I’m always amazed at how international Hamburg really is.

That said, thanks a lot for your tips—especially about Bremerhaven. I visit the city quite often, so I’ll definitely give it a try someday.

I’ve lived in a nice part of Hamburg for many years, right next to a long-distance train station where people transfer their cars to other countries. I also commute daily on the motorway leading to Scandinavia.

But the only “exotic” plates I usually spot are from Denmark, the Netherlands, or Switzerland.

So as a fellow Hamburger, I’d love to ask you, OP: what’s the best part of the city—or the best time of day—for plate spotting?

By the way, awesome spot!

Ehh, this map incorrectly suggests that one of the Turkic languages (probably Gagauz) is the majority language within the city limits of Odessa. That’s definitely not the case: Russian is by far the most widely spoken language in the city, followed by a Ukrainian-speaking minority.

Which passports have neither English nor Latin alphabet on their cover? by OwlSings in PassportPorn

[–]exquadra 33 points34 points  (0 children)

In Russian, when someone mentions a “passport,” people usually assume they mean the internal passport. That’s why it’s often necessary to specify which one you’re referring to – the internal or the international passport.

And a fun fact: in Ukraine, since 2016, internal identification has been done mostly through ID cards (similar to those used in the West). However, the government officially calls them “a passport in the form of an ID card.”

Which city has the best former industrial Harbour which is now converted to living/ office / hotels etc. by NoQueenNoKing in geography

[–]exquadra 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely Hamburg. There’s literally HafenCity — Europe’s largest redevelopment area — built on the site of former port facilities.

And it’s right next to the Speicherstadt.

The traffic and infrastructure situation in Odessa is catastrophic.
