Odessa Ukraine

For those of you that know me, you know that I am in my last year of University and have been living in Odessa Ukraine for the past four years. Continuing my past theme, I would like to talk about tourism, entertainment, life, and love here in Odessa Ukraine. Ukraine in general, and Odessa Ukraine specifically are very well known for their beautiful women. I meet foreigners every time I walk out the door who have traveled half-way around the world looking for the gorgeous love of their life. Well, in fact, I might want to adjust that last line to say the second half of their lives as most of the men who come to Odessa Ukraine looking for love have already been married, many have children, and almost all of them are trying to figure out how to get that gorgeous Ukrainian girl to walk along them arm-in-arm for the rest of their lives.

I can see this situation from a very different point of view than the average person, and that is why I am writing this blog, in order to help others by sharing my knowledge and expertise. Hopefully, you will find something here helpful. I'm 28 years old, was born in Ibadan, Nigeria, raised in Lagos and in Berlin and I have lived in New Jersey in the United States, in Poland, and now in Ukraine for the past four years. Also, I have traveled to countless countries via ship as I am a sailor. I love people, make friends easily, and am studying engineering. So, I tend to analyze things more than the average person.

In Odessa Ukraine, there are numerous places that a person can go without having to break their bank. The first thing you need to consider is the time of year. If it is the summertime in Odessa Ukraine, then the place to be is in Arcadia. There are many places to go in Arcadia, but the two most popular are Ibiza Odessa, and Itaka Odessa. Both clubs are outdoor clubs where the entry fee is less than $20. The drinks are a little pricey, but Ibiza has 5 different swimming areas, including the famous beach of Odessa Ukraine. Itaka is next door to Ibiza and equally as attractive.

After October first, the one of the places to be is the Palladium if you like the true nightclub setting. There are always countless Ukrainian girls dressed to the hilt, but unfortunately, you will have to be on the lookout for locals looking to take advantage of the tourists. This shouldn't be a problem if your antennas are up, but I am just letting you know to be aware.

There are many other great places that deserve a mention, including, but not limited to Captain Morgan's, Bernadazzi, Granat, Cosmo, and many others. Visit Odessa Ukraine. I assure you, you will not be disappointed. Finally, if you need a place to stay, I have enough contacts here that I can help you get a great place at a good price, from cheap, to luxurious. Just send me a note.

cheap resturants in warsaw and night clubs

Local

Bierhalle is a large microbrewery on Nowy Swiat that churns out respectable vats of beer in a central location. Newcomer Srodmiejska has live music, a legit food menu and a relaxed Warsaw hipster vibe.  

Cheap

It has to be The Secret Garden, a ramshackle collection of dive bars in the courtyard behind Nowy Swiat that offers Warsaw drinking in its rawest form. And if you don’t mind herring and 5zl vodka shots explore the 24 hour zakaskas bars like Warszawska and Pijalnia Wódki i Piwa to drink like a local. 

Lads 

For Sky Sports and grub then take your pick from The British Bulldog, Warsaw Tortilla Factory, Legends and Someplace Else. If you’ve cleaned up and are ready to impress hit up Foksal street for clubs like Sketch and Foksal XVIII, which boast A-list clientele.  But if your requirements are a little more carnal read up on our adult section and then proceed wisely.

Couples

If you like to swill custom cocktails try newcomer Pies Czy Suka, but if you prefer your drinks in one of two colours – white or red – then try Vinoteka 13. However if your true love is obscure beers then Konstytucja Klubokawiarnia will melt your heart.

Splurge 

Paparazzi’s cocktails are worth the dip into your wallet, as are the drinks at the Marriott’s Panorama bar, which offers views from the 40th floor that will cost you. If you’re dressed to impress hit up Capitol for the chance to drink like a champagne-loving oligarch.

Tourism on low budget

There are said to be many places at this hard time  where one can  go and  spend less money and have lots of  fun. But the  economic  crisis and and unemployment in many parts of the world  has made it hard for people to have time to even think of  holiday or vacation, but not to say there is still little bit of time for one to spend on vacation and still have fun.

Tips on how  to make vacation  cheap and how to go about them is simple.

1. find countries which  you can get  cheap flights to or places  where if you do not mind can drive to.
2. find a  low cost airline  which offer cheap tickets to the destination.
3.find a  cheap hotel if possible  find  accommodations which are not in center  city.
4.find ways  to move  around  by  means of bus  and not taxi.
5.find a  cheap spot where locals  sit and not tourist as this can be cheaper
6.making sure the  country of destination is  a place  where tax,vat are not high

Cheap low cost Airlines in Europe.

in respect of the said above  it is  then need to  get help  from many  sites  which one can easily find and also by friends, i will give  some  tips on how  to  cheap low cost  airline ,as for those in Europe

Vueling

 Mostly  this  flights  go within europe and and  some times do not offer  drink on their flights as you may be asked  to pay for even a bottle of water , so goes as far as  asking for  you to pay for hand bags and extra bags, so be aware of this also. but not to say they simply very cheaper compared to  fly than big airlines that we are  we know with in Europe, the start  price for the  tickets  starts mostly  min $30- $150 depending on when  you book , always smart and better to book 3 weeks or  2 weeks  before your intended date of  flight so as to get cheap tickets.

Accommodation

It all depends on country you are going to visit, this will determine the price and  cost  of hotel or hostel that  one intends  to stay but  based on my  own  experience i will recommend
www.airbnb.com as  this is  cheap way to rent  apartment in various  countries and  might  be even cheaper and  better than most hotel, and one can get apartment  which one can cook and get to be  more comfortable in.

I will like  to say  going on vacation varies ,goal of vacation,sex,marital status, age ,with family or alone.
If you male and wish i will advice to  take vacation to mostly eastern european countries as it is cheap and  also less stress, and i will recommend  some  countries,Czech republic,Poland,Slovakia,Latvia,Ukraine,Russia,Belarus and few more, as most of these countries are cheap, for those who really wants wild time and nice sexy girls, i will recommend you take Ukraine, as it is very nice place for party, beautiful  girls and easy  place  to get  on with girls, thought might be crazy.i will stop here for now and  give more tips later. have fun


POLAND
  This is  a country  with  great  teaste  of  Beer and Vodka, as they can make any  thing  with  vodka , ranging from  grass vodka, strawberry vodka,mint vodka ,fruit vodka, and many more,and nice beers  also, which are  mostly cheap and not expensive to buy.It will be  hard to  say the  exchange  rate as it  changes  every  minutes, seconds, so i advice to  use online  exchange rate. www.xe.com as this will help.

The first choice of all tourists is Kraków, which is one of the oldest cities in Poland.
Krakow. Far from my favourite city in Poland, but an absolute must, as it is the de facto historical/cultural capital, while Warsaw is the political/financial capital, and the difference is obvious. The Old Town, its market place, the Wawel Castle, the Kazimierz district (former Jewish area) and areas around the river are the obvious places to go. Krakow is easily walkable, but trams run everywhere worth going. As above.Plenty of bars/clubs/restaurants/museums to cater for every taste, 

Second choice  choice of showing to a foreigner would be Wroclaw - beautiful, climatic, cosmopolitan but still with Polish character.
There is a place called Ostrów Tumski which is on an island in the middle of the city (and is a headquarters of bishop) and every night lanterns are lit by a person lighting them one after another. Perfect town for a romantic weekend. It is a university city so follow students to find the nicest restaurants and pubs (kluby).


One suggestion is this:

Gdansk. Largest city of the "tri-city" area of Gdansk/Gdynia/Sopot. Has the strangest atmosphere of all the cities I've visited in Poland, due to its obvious German influence (which affects the way that people look as well - I've never seen so many German-looking Polish speakers before :) ). It's no wonder the Germans want the place back, because it's a lovely town. I wish we could swap it for Liverpool, but I digress... :_

Bus 210 takes 30mins to central Gdansk and costs 2.50 PLN (0.60 EUR). Public transport doesn't directly cross the main city centre, but runs to a ring-road around it. The bus drops you off at the main railway station. All the main attractions are 5-15 mins walk from here.

Things to do: Well, other than the obvious restaurants/bars/cafes etc you could head straight for Dlugi Targ, which is where many of the city's nicest buildings are. Walk along the river, take a boat ride along the river to the Westerplatte. Visit Sopot or Gdynia if you like beaches/seaside towns. Find the "monument to the fallen shipyard workers" outside the Gdansk Shipyard entrance, if you're into things which are a bit more political. 

The above would probably need 1-2 full days.

Train to  Warsaw, stopping off at Malbork to see the castle (the inter-city line runs this way). Arrive in Warsaw. If you decide you'd rather not spend more than a day here, do this: Leave the Central Station and catch the 175 bus towards the terminus (currently Plac Pilsudskiego, but can change according to roadworks), which is 5 minutes walk from the Old Town. this bus also takes you to the airport if necessary (see below). Ticket costs about the same as a ticket in Gdansk does.

You should save at least a few hours for this area, as it's really nice, but on the bus and as in any tourist area, watch out for pickpockets. You may wish to visit the Royal Castle, which is next to the Old Town Square. Then walk along the main street from the Old Town (Krakowskie Przedmiescie) which is a very upmarket and beautiful old street, filled with cafes, bars, lovely old buildings, expensive hotels, and eventually leads to the University. 

Carry along this street and eventually you will reach Nowy Swiat, which is where all the beautiful young people hang out (so why I spend so much time there is beyond me, because I am neither beautiful or young, but I dress better than 98% of Poles, so maybe I fit in, lol). From the end of this street, you can catch the same bus (175) towards the Central Station, stopping off to see the Palace Of Culture and the new London/New York-style skyline which is springing up around it. Under the railway/metro stations are kilometres of subways, which contain small shops bars and cafes, which cater for every need, and are one of the last remaining examples of "old-style" Poland in the central business district - see if before it all gets demolished/refurbished in a few years time. You have been warned ;)

This is enough for one day, but there is plenty more to see if you wanted to stay longer. The problem with Warsaw is that everything is spread out, so you either have to travel by bus/tram/metro, or walk long distances. It's also very ugly in between the nice bits, full of grey Brutalist commie architecture, and this is why it isn't a first choice for first-time visitors. But having lived in London for many years, it doesn't bother me too much, but if you come from a small town/village, it must be a big shock :) Watch out for the drunks/beggars anywhere in the centre, but mainly around the central station. Be polite, but firm. They are unlikely to become violent unless abused, but are very annoying and increasing in number.

 Wroclaw. The train journey averages about 6 hours, and flying in Poland is often not expensive. All of Poland's major cities are about 1 hour by plane. Bus from the airport into town cost 4.50 PLN . Apart from the Old Town and its market place, visit the cathedral and Ostrow Tumski (river island), and walk by the river. Plenty of old churches and museums/galleries to visit. I don't know the city particularly well, but I've been there quite a few times, and found the people to be the friendliest in Poland - you can have a really good laugh with people round there, which isn't really something you can say about Warsaw - people are far too serious/overworked/stressed-out up there. 

There are  also  many ways  to also travel from poland to other  eastern european countries, if most people do not mind  the time www.polskibus.com with internet  available on the bus , and very cheap price starting  from 1zlote ,booking online with credit card,also  you have  eurolines which is also  cheap, most of these  companies travel within  poland and very  cheap, but long hours  in the bus , but worth trying it out  as it is vaccation no need  in rushing.
