Hi to Ukraine:)

[GrazzaD]

My name's Graham, I live in the UK and I have been in contact with a wonderful Ukrainian girl for some time. She wants to meet me, and of course I'm very nervous about going over...I hope to find some help here so I can visit what looks like a beautiful country

hello Graham,
feel free to ask any questions. will be glad to answer them

[GrazzaD]

Thanks, ace-interpreter!

Firstly, is there any tourist visa that I need to enter Ukraine? I will hopefully be travelling on the Kashtan Berlin Hauptbahnhof - Kiev Pass night train, but I must find out what I need on arrival at Kiev...

if you are citizen of any European country you do not need any visa and you can stay here within 90 days.

Is your girlfriend meeting you at the station??? if so she will take care of things... if not be careful and don`t take the first taxi offer... where in Ukraine will you be staying???

I met my Russian/Ukrainian wife in Kiev and we stayed there... that was 8 years ago:-)))

Thanks guys That's really given me confidence... I really admire this girl so I hope something will happen between us!

Another question...
Where can I exchange Euros or GBP to Hryvnia? I've looked in the UK and nowhere seems to offer this currency for exchange. As I'll be arriving late in Kiev I doubt I will be able to get any there. I will be leaving from Berlin however so is it possible to do it there before I arrive in Kiev? I can speak German so that should be no trouble!
