I hope you enjoy it on this forum and yes we would like to know more of your country

That's cool, iIde love to hear about your country. I'm part Slovak so I guess my ancesters used to live kinda near there a long time ago.

The money of the Ukraine is so colorful. Who is the man on the money?

His name is Ivan Franko.

Small story about him:

Franko was born in Nahuevychi, in the Drohobych district of eastern Galicia (Halychyna is today part of the Lviv Oblast in Ukraine), and was the son of a village blacksmith, of German ancestry. The family's original surname was Frank. He attended school in the village Yasenycia Silna from 1862 until 1864, and from there attended a Basilian monastic school in Drohobych until 1867. In 1875, he graduated from the Drohobych gymnasium, and continued on to Lviv University, where he studied classical philosophy and Ukrainian language and literature. It was at this University that Franko began his literary career, with various works of poetry and his novel Petriï i Dovbushchuky published by the students' magazine Druh (Friend), whose editorial board he would later join.
The grave of Ivan Franko in the Lychakivskiy Cemetery in Lviv, Ukraine.

Thanks for the information...and welcome to the boards...

Thanks for the information.

Not at all )))

What else would you know ?

How does the law work in your country and what do you all eat?

I would imagine that they eat food, but you know, that's just a guess.

We work – 8 hours a day, break – 1 hour
5 days a week
Saturday & Sunday – day off

I think we eat the same that you))),
My city has a lot of supermarkets (Metro, Billa, Varus….)
For example, I brush my teeth and use the American tooth paste (Glister, Amway)
Foods price:
Bread (700 gramm) – 2 grivna = 0,40$
Meat pork (1 kilogramme) – 30 grivna = 5,94$
Meat beef (1 kilogramme) – 25 grivna = 4,95$
Chicken (1 kilogramme) – 15 grivna = 2,97$
Coca Cola (2L) – 6 grivna = 1,19$
Pepsi (2 L) – 5,7 grivna = 1,12$
Hamburger (McDonald’s) – 0,75$

Oh great I gotta convert the metic system to the english system. Is that 75 Cent for a cheeseburger at mcdonalds?

I doubt it, remember, they don't use USD. Unless vleoff already converted those numbers for us......

Thats what I though....

I converted those numbers for you

Thank You.

expensive?

You mean the food? No, it's seems nice and cheap. I wish I could buy a 75 cent hamburger.

Wow, Americans would be even fatter if food was that cheap over here.

Very true, shoot, I guess mcdonalds coupons will no longer be used if it was that cheap.
