Hey guys, I'm moving to Ukraine in March. I'll be going to either Lviv or Odesa, can't really choose which one. I'll be teaching english part time, plus I've got savings so money won't be that much of an issue, though I would like to live frugally.

Can you guys tell me about both cities so I can decide? I've read the wikipedia and wikitravel on both cities, so I'm looking for more insider information, what it's like living there, etc. Also, any rental websites where they don't treat you like a fucking tourist? I speak basic russian, hoping to learn some more once I get there.

Thanks!

Move to visit Kryvyi Rih so you can teach Lera. But be warned. It's a coal mining town and the air quality isn't always the best.

Odessa is the best city in Ukraine. Literally a miracle of the Universe if you don't mind specific culture with a strong Jewish scent.

Choose Odessa, not Lwów.

Go to Odessa, it borders the sea, always better than a city in the lands.

>>53180743
Dad lives in Odessa, wouldn't recommend moving there at all. The city square is nice but the majority of everything else is a total undeveloped shithole with drug addicts, hookers, and drunks walking around everywhere. Also now with the war the inflation is some of the highest in the world and family that recently visited say you have to be rich just to buy decent food now. Not sure why you would want to move there right now of all times.

Yes the city center is beautiful but cmon you have to be retarded to think its developed. And no port city I've ever been was that bad. I saw nothing but alcoholic and strung out zombies. Ukraine is a total shithole and I'm half none Jew Ukrainian and been there plenty of times so don't act like anything I'm saying isn't true.

>Are the people friendly, welcoming to foreigners, etc? Will they be trying to rip me off all the time?
From my experience in Ukraine:
It depends on people greatly. I've met the nicest people there but also the biggest cunts that will fuck you without lube. When I was there (like 5 years ago) it was a big no-no to approach police even if you had a problem - they'd realize you're a foreigner and you won't get rid of them unless you'll pay them. Also some people didn't like me cause I'm a Pole but that's other story.

All of this was in Western Ukraine, I'd expect Eastern Ukraine (which Odessa is, if not geographically then mentally) to be worse.
>>
>>53183408
you're out of your mind mate, it's real eastern europe (not this wends muh eu powered economies) and they're at war. if you go missing no one will miss you
>>
>>53183996
What do you mean real eastern europe? I've lived in Hungary and Poland, I've travelled the balkans, and it was just fine. I'm a bit worried about the war, yeah, which is why I'm leaning more towards Lviv than Odesa, but still...

Odesa is a tourist spot. Dont know how it is on international tourist, haven't been there since '86.

Lviv is pretty good. I'm from Kiev, never been to Lviv, but all my friends who've lived in both say Lviv is better.

Do you speak the language?
>>
Lviv is much better than Odessa. Odessa is a working class shit town. Lviv is referred to as the unofficial Capitol of west Ukraine. There's no war or fighting in the west and is rather safe when thinking war wise. I'm going. Family lives outside Lviv.
>>
>>53180743
Absolute madman
>>
>>53189171
This.

Lviv is literally heaven and is ludicrously cheap. Go there. It is a beautiful city. I would live there in an instant if I could work via the internet. Also, the qts are off the scale.
>>
>>53189404
Mate, we'll be neighbors, you can come and visit.

The main reason for my trip is to study russian. I could just go to russia, sure, but the visa process is a pain in the ass. In Ukraine, I can just do visa runs to Hungary, done.
>>
>>53189866
Go to Kyrgyzstan to learn Russian. Very cheap.

Odessa and Lviv are not good places to study Russian. Lviv is Ukrainian-speaking and Odessa is expensive in relative terms. Go to Kharkiv in the East if you really want to study Russian in Ukraine.

Isn't Odessa expensive? Or is that just for Ukrainians and foreign money is worth a lot right now? My family made it sound like everything there is super expensive right now worse then before.
>>

>>53180743
Lviv will be cheaper by all measures, food, rent, public transit. But Odessa is in subtropic climate so it should be easier to adapt there.

Yooooo I'm going to Lviv and Kiev in March.

For you I would recommend Lviv because it's a beautiful city and you'll be closer to Western Europe which means you can just take the bus and easily do weekend trips. Lviv also has somewhat of an international community.
>>
>>53191766
why would I want to go back there?

How about moving to the cheapest shit hole in Ukraine? How much cheaper are those cities compared to Lvov, Odessa and Kiev?

Odessa reporting in.
If you want to study russian then visit Odessa. Lviv is mainly ukrainian speaking city. Lviv dwellers is generally more cultured, but Odessa arguably has more character. Odessa is definitely more multicultural in a good sense. Weather is better in Odessa. Odessa has some nice architecture but Lviv looks is more refined for my taste. People are friendly in general, but Odessa is much much more banterous and criminal. You will like it as a brit.
>>
Odessa is probably comfy. A legendary place indeed. But Ukraine is at war, it's better to keep out of this country yet.

Man Kyrgizians probably speak with lots of mistakes.

Poland is Central Europe.
Don't get too drunk if you're travelling alone and have no one to carry you home.
You can't drink alcohol on streets here.
Don't try to speak Polish, it's cringe worthy.

You can be robbed and beaten, murder is unlikely. I think you can bear it if you are a man. Btw saw a foreigner with a really swollen and beat up multicolored face at bank just a week ago. He looked really sad, was trying to receive money from a friend but bank manager was a dumb blonde. She can't communicate with him just shooed him away. I bet he can tell nice story for you.

right after the collaps.

jew family stole half our money, family heirlooms, expensive possessions, ditches us all and moved to isreal
they literally stole gold, soviet era stamps, and a few relics we had from ww2. my grampas medals, etc.
distant relatives moved to germany, and denmark
my parents thought it was a good idea to move to nye with the help of my dads close jew friend who left a year early, but they fucked us over hardcore and we ended up in chicago being poor as shit. had enough money for one months rent, and a week of food. spoke no english, had no help, no programs, no benefits, knew no one.
took us years to recover and make something of ourselfs
jews are the worst.
