We are expecting 8 inhabitants of this place: 4 dolphins named Misha, Gesha, Herculeas, and Vita 3 fur seals and one sea lion Pyshka. It is funny that two of dolphins have the same names as our mayor and vice mayor: Misha and Gesha. But the owners of dolphinarium say it is simple coincidence :)
The dolphinarium will have 4 pools: demonstrative, for dolphin therapy, for fur seals and one for sea lion. It is interesting that the main pool is the deepest and the biggest on the territory of Commonwealth of Independent States.(former USSR). It will have about 1000 seats.

QUEEN gives charity concert in Kharkov, Ukraine

The Associated Press September 12, 2008
KHARKIV, Ukraine:

The rock band Queen sang to tens of thousands of Ukrainians on Friday to raise money to care for HIV-AIDS sufferers in this ex-Soviet republic, which has one of the fastest-growing infection rates in Europe.
Cheering fans packed the central square in Ukraine's second-largest city to listen to the revered British group, whose lead vocalist, Freddie Mercury, died of an AIDS-related illness in 1991.
The open-air charity concert � named "Life must go on!" � was timed to the release of Queen's new album, "Cosmos Rocks," which comes out Monday. The show launched the band's tour of European countries including Russia, Britain, France, Germany.
"We are very happy to do what we can to raise the awareness of AIDS and also to kick off a new tour," Paul Rodgers, the band's new frontman, told The Associated Press in an interview. "Awareness is the first step towards defeating the problem."
"Queen lost its singer many years ago, so we know that this can affect anybody," said drummer Roger Taylor.
Government officials say nearly 77,000 people in Ukraine have been registered as HIV-positive since the first reported case in 1987. But some experts believe the rate is much higher, with as many as half a million people � 1 percent of Ukraine's population � infected.
Organizers chose Kharkiv, an industrial city in the east of the country, for its huge student population. Young people are especially in danger of contracting the virus. Volunteers distributed condoms and information leaflets in the run-up to the concert.
But ecstatic middle-aged Ukrainians also turned up to listen to the songs of their youth, a testament to the undiminished popularity of aging Western rock bands in the former Soviet Union.
Deep Purple gave a concert in the Kremlin earlier this year. Paul McCartney sang in Moscow in 2003 and performed in Kiev in June, in a charity show. Many Soviets learned English on those songs and their records were extremely hard to find.
This is Queen's second tour after they teamed up with Rodgers, who used to be the leading vocalist for the popular English rock bands Free and Bad Company. It is their first show in Ukraine.
The show was free for most participants. Organizers raised money by selling tickets to the VIP zone. They declined to say how much money had been raised, but said it will be donated to a city orphanage for HIV-positive children.

8th of March - big spring holiday in Ukraine

8th of March is traditionally a big holiday of spring in Russia and Ukraine. For three generations, it has been much greater that February 14th (which is relatively new here, a couple of years), and for many years people have celebrated 8th of March as International Women's Day (entered by Clara Tzetkin, German revolutionist woman), it has become the day when all men congratulate and worship their beloved ones, giving presents and making festive dinners for them, even cooking and washing the dishes (if usually this is the duty of the woman in the house:-). There is a lot of jokes about this day around Ukrainians, like one woman can wish for another: "May all your days be like 8th of March". The 8th of March is an official day-off in Ukraine. If you have a friend female, penpal or fiancee from Ukraine, do not forget to congratulate the woman you like with this holiday:-)

St. Valentine's Day

Knock, knock, knock�Valentine�s Day is knocking on our doors! Are you ready to open the door of your heart to it?! There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the Patron Saint of Lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers and sweets. There was often a social gathering or a ball. Speaking of us Ukrainians�we started to celebrate this holiday not long ago. But it is getting more and more popular every year. This holiday has nothing to do with any given country. Ukrainians love this holiday just like people do all around the world! It is for all! What can be better than showing your true feelings on this special day? Why not to send a sweet present to the one you love!

Easter holiday in Ukraine

Anastasis - Russian Icon depictiong a saint descending to Hell

The Easter time celebration is by far the most important in the Russian Orthodox Church. This year the Orthodox Easter is on April 4, the same day with Catholic holiday.

Russian Easter starts the night before. The faithful arrive at church in the late evening bringing their traditional Easter food - a nut and fruit filled yeast cake called kulich and an accompanying sweet cheese spread called paskha and some Easter eggs to be blessed.

Russian Easter eggs are of two different types. Some are dyed red by boiling with onion skins; others, known as pysanky, are created through a complex process of applying patterns to the egg with melted wax and dyeing the areas left uncovered. Both kinds of Easter egg are given more religious significance than is common in the West. The red egg is said to represent Christ's blood, while the yolk is said to represent the new life. given to us through the Ressurection.

Often the kulich and paskha were carried to church and set out on long tables to be blessed by the priest. Church attendance at this ceremony is at its highest since Easter is the most important Orthodox holiday. Near midnight the priest leads a procession of deacons, altar boys, the choir, and parishioners.

This procession is called a krestnyi khod, which in this case symbolizes the search for Jesus' body by Mary Magdalene and others, and the subsequent discovery that Christ is risen. The procession circles around the outside of the church three times, its members singing as they go. The main church doors represent the sepulchre, and when they are opened the priest announces several times that Christ is risen: "Khristos voskres!" The congregation each time answers, "He has risen indeed!" "Voistinu voskres!"

Straight after this ceremony and for several days thereafter, a ritual takes place, usually between friends: one person goes to another and says "Khristos voskres!" The other must answer, "Voistinu voskres!" and then they kiss three times on alternate cheeks.

Directly after church that night, the Lenten fast is broken; the first meal with eggs, butter, and meat is eaten. This can include paskha and kulich.

Our kindest congratulations to you and your family on this wonderful holiday! We wish you health, happiness, joy, love, and success.

Happy Easter!

New Year Celebration

Ded Moroz and Snegourochka as they are commonly depicted in Russia and Ukraine

This is the most favorite holiday in Ukraine and Russia. It is anticipated as much as the Christmas holiday is in the U.S and Europe.

When the communists came into power they forbid religious holidays. But Christmas tradition was so strong (the people continued to decorate the Christmas trees in an underhand way) and the government allowed the people to celebrate what was the Christmas holiday now in a different way and at a different time: now as a New Year holiday so long as the religious meaning was eliminated.

Gradually the religious meaning to the holiday has deteriorated leaving the general meaning of the New Year holiday as one for a hope that the new year will be more happy and that all bad remains behind in the old year. The Christmas tree was renamed into a New Year tree - Yolka. The name Yolka comes from the word which refers to a fur tree.

Old man or grandfather Frost or "Ded Moroz" is the favored legend. Outwardly he resembles Santa Claus. He wears a long coat (usually red, sometimes blue), has a long beard and felt boots and carries a stick and a big sack. He comes by horses, usually 3. Old man Frost comes with his granddaughter, Snegurochka, the Snow Maiden, to help deliver the gifts. Snegurochka is made of snow; she is a beautiful young girl. She is always a blonde with big blue eyes and red cheeks. She too wears either a blue or red long coat. When the people decorate their apartments and New Year tree, they place a Ded Moroz and Snegurochka either under the tree or somewhere else in the room.

Gifts are never put in stockings. Russian Santa Claus lays the gifts down under the tree (at midnight). If the children are too small and are sleeping on New Year's night (eve), they run to see under the tree when they awaken. If a family is celebrating the holiday together, all the gifts are put under the tree before midnight. After midnight everyone goes to the tree and opens gifts. After that they celebrate with a large festive dinner. It is a very late night. New Year's gifts are big and generous. Children dream about the holiday for a long time. Historically there was no tradition of writing a letter to Santa Claus as there is in the U.S.. In recent times that has changed and children are beginning to follow this western tradition as well.

Ukrainian New Year decorations are very similar to those in the Western countries. Garland, balloons, candles, snowflakes. Excitement and goodwill is felt long before the New Year. The streets are decorated and music is played everywhere. You can see Santa Claus walking around on the streets. Television presents many holiday programs. And there are many New Year's parties. On New Year's Eve, people call and congratulate one another - relatives, friends, and colleagues.

New Year's Eve (called New Year's Night in Ukraine and Russia) is a big celebration. There are many people in the streets celebrating. Families with young children celebrate at home just with their own family. Young single people like to go out from home. In the big cities there are many choices: many clubs and restaurants have special programs. The theatres and ballet are also popular on December 31 and January 1. Nobody wants to be alone on this night.

Russia and Ukraine have one more special detail: they have two New Years. The tradition of greeting the New Year twice comes from the beginning of the twenty century. Before the communists, Russia had its own calendar. It was exactly the same as the western calendar, just delayed by two weeks. The new government adopted the western calendar but the Church continued using the old calendar. Gradually, everyone has forgotten about the old calendar or have stopped celebrating religious holidays. Today, people celebrate New Year's even on December 31 and then some celebrate, or at least remember Orthodox Christmas and then New Year's on January 12 and 13. It is called Old New Year. Old New Year is not celebrated with quite as much "celebration" but TV stations repeat all New Year's programs. Young people, of course, have a New Year party again! Then, after January 13 everybody removes the decorations and Christmas trees. The holiday has come to an end.

Ukrainian Christmas

Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas on January 7th in thirteen days after Western Christmas, in accordance with the old Julian calendar. After the 1917 Revolution, Christmas was banned throughout USSR, along with other religious celebrations. It wasn't until 75 years later, in 1992, that the holiday was openly observed. Today, it's once again celebrated in grand fashion. Christmas is one of the most joyous traditions for the celebration of Eve. It is traditional for all family members to gather to share a special meal. Christmas Eve dinner is meatless but festive. The most important ingredient is a special porridge called kutya. It is made of wheatberries or other grains which symbolize hope and immortality, and honey and poppy seeds which ensure happiness, success, and untroubled rest. A ceremony involving the blessing of the home is frequently observed. A priest visits the home accompanied by boys carrying vessels of holy water, and a little water is sprinkled in each room. The kutya is eaten from a common dish to symbolize unity.

The meal begins with the Lord's Prayer, led by the father of the family. A prayer of thanksgiving for all the blessings of the past year is said and then prayers for the good things in the coming year are offered. The head of the family greets those present with the traditional Christmas greeting: "Christ is Born!" The family members respond: "Glorify Him!" The Mother of the family blesses each person present with honey in the form of a cross on each forehead, saying: "In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, may you have sweetness and many good things in life and in the new year." Following this, everyone partakes of the bread, dipping it first in honey and then in chopped garlic. Honey is symbolic of the sweetness of life, and garlic of the bitterness. The "Holy Supper" is then eaten (see below for details). After dinner, no dishes are washed and the Christmas presents are opened. Then the family goes to Church, coming home between 2 and 3 am. On the Feast of the Nativity, neighbors and family members visit each other, going from house to house , eating, drinking and singing Christmas Carols all the day long.

How I have decided to join a marriage agency? On the one hand, it's simple. I saw an ad. in a local newspaper of my city of Kharkov, Ukraine, called, talked to the manager, and.. decided to try my fate in the endless fields of internet. On the other hand, this decision has had a solid ground. I am pretty. Big expressive eyes, long thick brown hair, slim figure, university degree. I am feminine, pretty easy-going and not too demanding. In general I possess the qualities that men like. And they do. But this doesn't mean I have already met the man I would want to live with all my life, with whom I would be happy. I am not an idealist but I don't have a soul mate yet. Although, I am not a feminist as well. For me it's unnatural to be alone, in the sense completely independent, to take all decisions on myself.

Independence. From whom? There is incomparable pleasure in having someone you can share your joys and sorrows with, who understands you, loves you, and whom you love more than life. And it's quite likely He is living now somewhere, probably in another country. Maybe that's the main reason why I've come to an agency. I filled out a form and was taken photos of.

It was exciting to receive a first letter. So many compliments. It's so pleasing. Just to feel wanted was worth joining the agency, I thought. The first letter was from Brasilia. Of course I knew that Latin men are known for being hot and temperamental, but I didn't expect such a nerve strain. Paul offered me to come to Brasilia immediately for creating strong family and long happy life together. Of course I couldn't treat his letter seriously, but was thankful for his compliments.

Next letter was from an American. In general, even in letters it is amazing how different Western men are from Easterners. Western men show such openness of feelings, sincerity and directness. On the one hand it's pleasant, but on the other it holds back a little. In the nature of Russian women it's natural not to show their feelings open at the first stage of knowing a stranger. This doesn't mean we are chilly or hard-hearted. Quite the opposite. Russian women feel very deeply. For some time it's kept deep inside the soul. You are somewhat protecting and guarding this new feeling. But if you really like the man, we give all our soul and heart sincerely to him. David was an intelligent man, working in a large company as a system analyst. He told me a lot of interesting things about himself, his country, work and life. He was divorced but it didn't matter for me great deal, as well as our age difference (he was 14 years my senior). We corresponded quite long time. I wanted him to come to Kharkov, but there were reasons for delaying the visit all the time. First his work, then some other problems. Maybe there wasn't great commitment between us. I couldn't always answer his letters fast, as I don't have a computer at home, that's why it took some time before I brought my letter to the agency. Sometimes I even dictated over phone to the agency's translator, to make sending the letter faster. Nevertheless, the meeting didn't occur.

Here I want to add some words about letter writing in particular. Maybe, it'll help men to understand girls' reaction to their introductions. I received different letters. Some of them were very short, where the man indicates his name (sometimes forgets even this), his liking girl's profile and photo and willingness to make acquaintance. None of such letters developed into something serious. I don't want to accuse, but such men seem to be fun-seekers. It is always pleasant to receive a warm and personal letter. It shouldn't be necessarily long. It is always possible to determine whether the letter is a formal one, no matter how many assurances in intentions' seriousness were used, or it is an original and warm one, with reflection of man's personality.

Some words about meetings. I received offers to come to see man in his country or in the third country. Basing on my experience I can tell you that for a girl it is always better if the first meeting take place in her country/town. To go to an unknown country (and some of girls have never been abroad before and their English is far from being profound) is mostly impossible because of girls' upbringing and mentality. Besides, some countries it's very difficult to get a visa to. But once the girl knows personally the man who can be a soul mate for her, they can decide on further plans as for his country or a tourist place of interest. That's why men, please, do not interpret girl's refusal to come to your country as unwillingness to meet or lack of interest. Come to her town yourself. It was this way with Michael. I am sure he doesn't regret his step.

Michael appeared in my life when I started to doubt whether it's possible to find serious relations through internet. Michael is from USA. He has a small business of his own. As I know now, his attempt to use an internet introduction agency was based on his friend's experience. A friend of his is married to a Ukrainian girl. They have a happy family with two children. His friend's wife advised Michael to apply to my introduction agency.

No, we didn't correspond with Michael before his visit, I didn't see his photos, didn't talk to him over phone. I even didn't know about his existence until I came to the agency to bring some of my new photos. Then I saw him for the first time. No, I wasn't striken with his attractiveness, manhood or other man's high qualities. I simply brought my photos and left. Michael came to Kharkov to meet another girl. He was corresponding with her rather long time and finally came. But it turned out that there wasn't any chemistry between them at personal contact. The same day's evening I received a call from the agency's manager asking me if I would want to meet with Michael next day. My first thought (apart from my great surprise) was : "I wonder, what is my number in his list?". But as I learnt later (to my great pleasure) Michael was not a fan of mass meetings and came to meet only one girl. And at the moment of our meeting he was even thinking of changing his ticket and leaving for home, when at the agency they advised him to meet with me. Now I am very thankful to them for it. They have good psychological experience in dealing with singles of both sexes, and can say where there may be a good match. So, I agreed to meet with Michael, not expecting anything special. Maybe it sounds banal, but from the very beginning of our conversation it seemed to me that we'd been knowing each other for many years. There were no so-to-say cultural differences; we talked on the same understandable topics and found a lot of common topics, as well as some physical attraction and yes, I had that shine in my eyes (as Michael stated later). First days an interpreter helped us to communicate, as my English was not that well. Here I can add that even the presence of a third person didn't spoil the magic of chemistry born. We spent six magical days, exploring the city, spending time together in cafes, visited local Zoo, cinema and even flee market. For Michael it was some exotic experience, I guess, and I took pleasure in showing him the things I've known since birth. We discussed everything - our lives before the meetings, our habits, interests, preferences, attitudes, likes and dislikes. And of course, future. For me it was no doubt that this is the man I would want to spend my life with.

I thought I would share some thoughts of my recent trip to Ukraine. I departed New York JFK airport on Air Ukraine (a partnership with Uzbekistan Air). This is currently the only airline, which has non-stop direct flights from the US to Kiev. My round trip airfare was $640. Air Ukraine has 1 arrival/departure on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. They
said they might add more flights later on. The planes are new Boeing 767-300s, comfortable. If you want a slightly more upscale aircraft, try Austrian Air. They have good fares but you must transfer in Vienna and returning to US sometimes requires and overnight stay in Vienna.

Arrived Saturday morning about 10:30. When arriving at Borispil airport in Kiev, go to the windowed booths on the right to purchase your medical insurance first. I think I paid $4(US) for 8 days coverage. Next, go to the booths on the left. This is where they check your passport and medical insurance, which you just purchased. After that, claim your luggage and find the counter with the declaration forms. They are available in a number of languages. I recommend only claiming items of significant value that you may want to take with you back out of Ukraine. The less you claim the better. If you are leaving things, like gifts for your lady I think it is best not to even mention or you may pay a duty fee of 20-30%. Take your baggage and form through customs. After that, you can enter the main terminal. Welcome to Ukraine. You will most likely be swarmed with anxious taxi drivers wanting your business. There are buses outside which are much cheaper. I like pre-arranging for someone to pick you up. Once in the main lobby, find the money exchange counter and get some Grivnas (the only currency to use here). If you plan to use your credit card, there are some ATM machines in a few places in the city. Make sure you know your PIN number and try it in the US before you leave or you may find yourself out of
luck and cash. I prefer to take cash as it saves time. Currency exchange places are plentiful throughout the cities. Check your US currency before you leave. Make sure it is clean and crisp. I had a new US hundred dollar bill that had a phone number written on it. No one would exchange them it was green toilet paper. Speaking of which bring a roll just in case.

I arranged for a nice flat near the center of Kiev through Irina from "All-Ukraine Beauties" for $50 per night. I called Irina from the airport and she was waiting for us at the apartment when our taxi arrived. She also registered my passport at the OVIR on Monday for $30(US). If you travel through Kiev, DO NOT forget to register your passport. As expected, I was checked by "security" in the airport terminal when I arrived to depart Ukraine. He quickly looked for the OVIR stamp hoping it was missing so he could solicit "gratuity", aka fine.
When you go out to eat, expect to pay western prices for a decent meal. Dinner for 2 ranged from $40(US) to $120(US) for 2 people. Of one note, the most expensive place was a restaurant called the Three Kings. It was very touristy and the food was average at best, more atmosphere than anything. I would not recommend it. The opera (about 20 Grivnas per person) and the theater, about the same were both outstanding. They are high on my recommendation list. By the way, the current exchange rate is about 5.6 Grivnas to one US dollar. Taxis in both cities are about 10-20 Grivnas depending on the distance and your Russian (laugh). Kiev is very cosmopolitan and is similar to many western European cities. Kharkov is not as upscale or touristy but there is still plenty to do and enjoy. I enjoyed both places. I found the architecture breath taking. Take plenty of film.

After a few days in Kiev, I've decided to visit Kharkov. For my stay there I solicited my services from Helen the Kharkov manager of All-Ukraine Beauties. I have found the service at All-Ukraine to be excellent. Helen returns all correspondence very promptly. She generally returns within one business day and is right to the point with your concerns or questions.
The cost of coming to Kharkov is actually very reasonable both using the agency services and the food and lodging. All Beautiful really gave me good value for the money. I only paid $8 per hour for interpreter services and $100 to the Agency for a whole week of their advice. The taxi's in the city are only $2-4 per use and dinner for 3 which includes the interpreter, wine and tip was only $13-15 American. (I'm not kidding!) Being that I wanted to have a good time and being in the company of beautiful women, I don't mind spending my money! An apartment by the Agency was $40 per night. Helen takes care of all that.

While in Kharkov I purchased 2 reasonably large paintings (too big to fit in overhead compartment on plane I later learned). I paid $28 (US) and $23 (US) with a little bargaining. If you buy any art, keep the receipts for use when going through customs. At Borispil airport customs, they have "green" lines and "red" lines. Green is for people who do not need to claim anything. The red line will be taken if you have art for a closer inspection.

Using pay phones is something worth learning. The telephones only accept phone cards, which you can purchase at the post office (one is located at one end of the Borispil airport). I also saw them for sale on the streets of Kharkov. To dial, remove phone from receiver and insert the card. Wait for the screen to display your available minutes. Next dial "8" and wait for "8P" to display. Next enter the city code (know these in advance, Kiev was 044 and Kharkov 0572). Wait for city code to display and then dial the phone number. Cell phones have their own unique city code so you will need to know if you are calling one.

Ok, the first 3 parts were fairly fact based. The following are some of my personal observations. Your mileage WILL vary. Please no SPAM.

To begin, I find the people of Ukraine in general to be friendly, cultured, and intelligent. At no time did I feel the slightest bit threatened or concerned. I even left my umbrella in a taxi in Kiev one afternoon and a different taxi driver late that night (12:30 am) located it and had it deliver to our cab for 5 Grivnas amazing. The quality of the Opera and Theater was magnificent, world class. I found the music options in both cities to be very international, pop music from Ukraine, Western Europe, and the US. When is the last time you heard European pop and rock on a US station, let alone Ukrainian? We could take a lesson from this we in America are just too US centric. Ah yes and 8 days with no Rap or heavy metal (laugh).

Imagine a busy metropolitan street with lanes of traffic, trolleys on rails, electric buses. The imagine them all choosing to stop to let people cross the street no traffic lights or signals, just common courtesy. I find this amazingly considerate and civil. Now imagine that working in New York City or any other city in the US without having your life insurance paid in full. I met wonderful people living in less than spacious apartments. They were happy, warm, and had a positive outlook on life. They have a wonderful sense of family values and putting things into perspective of what is truly important.

It is clear to me why I have chose to find my partner from this wonderful part of the world. This has certainly not been to road most traveled and not without pitfalls and scams. My lady is intelligent, articulate, and beautiful inside and out. We know the road ahead of us will take commitment, patience, and understanding. It is not about which country is better. I personally would find it difficult to answer that question. We are just different and I look forward to blending the best from both. Let the K1 process begin
