Ukraine’s Parks Preserve Love and Poetry, Flora and Fauna
Gladiators spar with Greek Gods. A lion creeps through the fall leaves ready to pounce. On a bench an iron coat lies abandoned. And if you whisper at one end of the white colonnade amidst the bare trees, another will hear your secrets 34 meters away. Oleksandriya Park had always been a place of solace and melancholy, joy and relief through the centuries, and this natural Ukrainian hideaway offers travelers an opportunity to quietly walk through a country’s long history in an undisturbed, peaceful environment.
FeaturesUkrainian International Horse Breeding and Riding
Little girls dream of owning one. Farmers once relied on their burly strength. Soldiers fired bullets from their stolid backs in wars past. The horse, mankind’s honorable equine partner and friend has evolved in both purpose and breeding through the centuries. Indeed, horse breeding itself, a tradition for over 6,000 years, is as much an art form as a scientific experiment. In the case of Ukrainian horse aficionados, the wedding of both approaches has proven successful.
FeaturesBlack Tea and Vodka Inspire the Ukrainian Palette
A Ukrainian proverb suggests that coffee should be dark as night and sweet like a woman, and while Starbucks tempts the world’s taste buds with elaborate concoctions of coffee, Ukrainians choose black tea or vodka. Consuming either drink for Ukrainians is as much a daily commitment to conversation as it is to culinary choice.
