Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Given the war economy, I think I’m going to look into how a domestic PP would have done here in Ukraine recently.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Also, Smith, have any locals engaged you in conversation? Maybe they heard you speaking English or you were visibly non-Ukrainian ;-) Not counting anyone selling anything; just curious people who felt like being friendly. Hahaha aside from salespeople, absolutely not. I’m not exaggerating when I sa...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Smith, what’s the Internet situation like? Using coffee shop WiFi? How does the police presence compare with Canada? Any drunken homeless? We have a new mantra: Bing-a-Vin. Might make for a good wine label. Vinny, get a trademark for us, quickly before the word gets out. 😉 O0 Just got back from a d...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
😂 Oh, that has to be your new avatar, Vinny 😂 Classic case of the picture being able to lie! Plus, I am the polar opposite of you when it comes to changing avatars. You are extremely frequent while I'm once every two, three, or more years. Finally, would you prefer to be loved or trusted? 77362105-...

Our next visit will be Vinnystia. I keep telling Vin he needs to return to the town he founded and clean that place up, but so far no answer. Our next visit will be Vinnystia.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
So is the local hotel full of colorful blankets that look like grandma knitted them, or do the furnishing look like a western hotel? I originally wasn’t going to share this, but since you asked I can’t resist. This is the hotel room my fiancé and I ended up staying in in Lviv. No, I’m not joking. A...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Great fake ID, Mr Trump O0 I love the rubber duckies in the tub. What is that, soup? My wife wants to know. I thought maybe the sign by the pizza (right-hand side) meant little cake* but Google translate says Galician? Galician legend? Interesting. Thank you for taking the time to post these 🙏 Edit...

Smithers, thank you for the daily updates on your activities. Every morning I look to see your posts, both for the content and as evidence that you are safe. The pictures are beautiful. Thanks again. Thanks for having interest! This is my first time travelling through Europe in any way at all, so i...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
(Just updated with a couple more pics :)) That transparent roof is neat! I know a guy who doesn’t like to sit at outdoor cafes because he’s worried that birds will drop something in his cup or some kind of plant detritus will fall in there. This would work for him O0 It's definitely a cool cafe. On...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

This city is genuinely gorgeous, and the locals are displaying such strength in carrying on their day-to-day responsibilities despite the perpetual threat of destruction. Every city block has...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
We just arrived in Lviv. Closer to the war front than before in Mukachevo but, still reasonably safe. Air sirens happen regularly here, but actual damage is relatively rare. I’m in another cafe, but will post more substantively when I reach the hotel. IMG_4257.jpeg IMG_4262.jpeg IMG_4269.jpeg (Just ...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Smithers, what makes the coffee amazing? Re. your signature: What is the other 1% ? Just curious! Stay safe and don't get constipated. Perhaps buy ear plugs and nose closer clips for everyone? :-) The coffee is much stronger on average than in North America and there’s lots of unique takes on flavo...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
My fiance and I just slept through most of the first day or so we've been here. Other than the air raid sirens, there isn't any obvious sign of war in the region we are currently in. Some observations: - Most people are doing their best to go about their day to day lives. There's a strong attitude ...

Snap some photos if you get a chance, Smithers, and it’ll be greatly appreciated. Not of the coffee shop toilet, just, you know, Ukraine and stuff. A few random snaps from today. O0 IMG_4201.jpg IMG_4210.jpg IMG_4212.jpg IMG_4213.jpg IMG_4217.jpg IMG_4218.jpg IMG_4219.jpg IMG_4220.jpg IMG_4211.jpg

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
We just heard our first air raid siren last night as we were trying to sleep. All good so far though.
