Dear Mrs. Elizabeth!

I have to say Krym isn't uniform and it occupies large territory. I ought to say you had better specify where exactly would you like to live. Because if you visit Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yalta, and Bakhchisarai - you'll see they are not very similar.

Best regards,
Olexiy, Kyiv

I must say I know Krym from literature only and whole Ukraine too. Bakczysaray I know from Mickiewicz . our national poet !
If you would like to write me more about Krym it would be really welcome
I am generally interested in Ukraina and I like you use the Ukrainian form of your name and a name of your town!
If you are interested in exchanging mails with somebody like me my e mail is giwia@gazeta.pl
yours
Ela

Thank you very much. Besides Mickiewicz's "Crimean sonnets" Pushkin - Russian national poet - also wrote about Krym - "Fountain of Bakhchysaray", "Bakhchysaray".
I don't know what I can tell you about Ukraine because I live here. But I would like to learn more about Poland.

Eliza Ozheshko wrote to Ivan Franko (a member of triumvirate of Ukrainian literature in XIX century: Taras Shevchenko - Ivan Franko - Lesya Ukrayinka)about Ukrainian literature: "The more I read Ukrainian literature, the more I feel magnificent attraction and a poetry of it. It is pure as crystal, warm as summer evening, unexpectedly original, alike none other..."
