I found a nice selection of imports (Czech, Belgian and German) at "Beerhouse", in a new complex off Karla Marx. Very clean atmosphere but I did not try the food. They are at Kateriioslavskii boulevard, 2. Also a friendly staff.

Where is a good place (bar/pub/restaurant) to taste local beers, either on draught or in bottle? Are there any new restaurant-breweries yet, like the Shato in Kyiv? I like to tour breweries as well as taste the beers, then write articles for beer publications. Tom tciccateri@earthlink.net www.realbeer.com/nmvbp

Hello fellows, soon I'll be in Dnepr (13.-20.05.2006) for my very first trip to Ukraine. Although I`m eagerly trying to learn a few phrases in Ukrainan and/or Russian, I guess I will need my local "guide" (a friend) quite a lot even for basic undertakings, because of the different alphabet & language. However, my friend won't be able to be with me for 2 days around the 17th. So - what activities are "simple" enough for a newbie Dnepr-tourist like me without real language-capabilities? My travel-guides (Bradt etc.) are not very useful with info on Dnepr... Obviously river-banks and public architecture will be easiest to visit - any other ideas? History, Science and Technology are some of my interests, as is enjoying mother nature. And, besides, where's the place to go in Dnepr to enjoy nothing but a good cold beer in a cozy pub? No "disco"/"dance-party" etc. event - just a plain cozy pub. Any ideas? Your ideas/answers/suggestions are very much welcomed - thanks in advance. Gereon

I will be plannig a visit this summer and have a daughter of an old frind that will meet me at the airport and serve as my guide. I will compensate her for her generous time and effort, but i wish to also bring her a gift. I plan of bringing picture of her father from long ago accompanied with a few keepsakes, but i would like to bring her something just for her that a young woman (20) would not readily be able to get and would like from the west. TY for your help P.S. I would like to hear from the ladies most of all lol

Guys, just became a member - I have the questions for those of you living in Dnipropetrovsk or Krivoj Rog both expats and local guys. I just got an offer to go to Krivoj Rog ( I am currently in the US and I am based in the NL and I am Russian that never was in Ukraine)to work for couple of months - I am still to decide - forgive my ignorance- but I have no idea what is going on there and what is there to do - say, if i live in KR can I drive/fly to Kiev or Odessa for a weekend - how practical is it? since it appears to be totally industrial city to me - any entertainment/nightlife over there? Got tons of questions naturally - I will appreciate any input... Irina ps. what is the population of KR, btw?

Hello Guys I'm going to move to Ukraine (for work) pretty soon and since I will have an appartement and all the stuffs to go with, I was wondering about getting my own Internet connection. I will be in Dnipropetrovsk, so my request is quite narrow, maybe. I know that most of ukrainians use Internet cafe to get online, but sinc I'm an Internet addict, I can't see my self hanging over 24/7. So does anyone know if it's possible to get Internet (possibly Hi-speed and unlinmited) at home and if it is, if there is a good provider to take or what? Thank you guys for the help djgege

I am doing research on the internet, but personal experiences are better :-) Many thanks, Adam

It's not quite the last minute before I go, but I will be there on Saturday :-) I will be arriving at the airport in Dnipropetrovsk :-) Numerous people have told me that customs, etc. is no big deal, so I am not so worried about this, but has anyone got any general advice about things to try or do or see? :-) I haven't forgotten Inga's advice about pepper vodka ;-) I speak some Russian, so let's hope it's enough :-))))) I don't know where to go outside of this city really! :-) I will go to Kharkiv, Crimea and I don't know where else, maybe Kyiv, but has anyone any ideas of somewhere different to go? :-) Adam

I didn't know whether to write here, but I'll ask anyway :-) Do you have a travel guide which has good information about this city??? I have lonely planet, but there is very little information on this city. Of course there is vt, but I can't carry my computer around with me :-)))))) Adam
