Thanks for the quick reply VM!!!
Thanks in advance for all the Useful information you guys have posted here…
I was in the Crimea & Odesa a few years back and agree that it is a great area in the summer...
How is the cross country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter?
I am no shrinking lily about winter sports as long as I do not have to spend hours getting back and forth too them..
I think I could afford a reasonable flat in the city and a small dacha in the country for weekends...
The question is what cities would maximize my social options during the week while maximizing my opportunities for winter fun on the weekends... I would prefer if the rural city for winter fun was connected conveniently by train and car.
I have an enormous amount of home based work I can do anywhere I can get a reasonable internet connection and cellular service. But I do need to get out of the house regularly so I do not go crazy… e.g. internet café’s, dancing, museums….
My flat in London had a straight wireless shot at a wireless internet hotspot at a local internet café… $20/mo all the internet I could eat… Something like that would be great if it exists…
So my total optimal solution would be a totally awesome live-in Personal Assistant that speaks reasonable English, Great glass ia always half full attitude, has a Ukrainian driver’s license (I have an international one as well), loves outdoor as well as indoor fun, has her weekends free to explore the countryside, and a reasonable amount of time during the week to show me the best her city has to offer…
Sorry, that sounded like an Advertisement… But in essence that is exactly what it will end up being… I am just trying to figure out how much of that is a reasonable expectation and it what cities…
P.S. how flexible are the Girls University schedules? Is it like here in the US where they have sporadic classes throughout the week or do they go 8hrs a day 5 days a week?
Thanks,
