The best city I have ever been. But you will need google translate if want to communicate with most people.

Incredibly "tough" city. Everything is concrete or dirt. Still has a Soviet vibe in 2020. One main street in the city center is vibrant and modern, but head one metro stop in any direction and its 1982 all over again. Almost no English, even with young people. Russian is preferred language even through there is a very strong anti-Russia/anti-Putin sentiment in the city, and rightfully so. However, all the street names and landmarks are in Ukrainian, so you need to mix t

Some good restaurants. People are extremely friendly, just gotta adapt to the culture a bit. Most seemed to be very interested in the fact that I was American. Felt kind of like the country is just starting to open up and it will be of more international interest in the upcoming 5 - 10 years. English is spoken in Minsk but probably less then in ukraine (my only other former soviet

I don't think this is because of the language barrier but...I cant explain this well. anyway, the city is great to stay f
⭐️ All 💵 Cost 📡 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌫 Feels -9° 16° -5° 23°AQI 21✈️52min$1,349 / mo9MbpsKyiv is a seriously not a good place for nomads to stay in. People don't speak english and are not friendly to foreigners at all, either you're white, asian, black, arab, latino, whatever. Food isn't really good specially when it comes to delivery, expensive and tasteless. The metro is cheap which is a good thing, and there is a nice architecture and places to go to.

It is cheaper and the locals can be friendly out of curiosity but most European cities are like this way. As always there is the language barrier but besides that it is just your average Baltic European city with its unique cuisine. Not too bad not too amazing.
