No point discussing how many GFE's I had; not enough.
In ranking the four (4) destinations:

Kiev - 10, get outta my way, I luv it there.
Minsk - 6, please get in my way, no thought of returning, ever.
Chisinau - 8, let us all go together, it is a hidden jewel, I do plan on going back someday, but thru Romania.
Odessa - 11, too much for any red-blooded single male, can't wait to go back.

It has been 4 weeks now since I returned, and am still "on-a-high!"
So much so, I saw a deal on a return flight to Paris for next summer, and booked it.
That, and the ultra trip to the Far East in January, will keep me motivated for some time.
Thanks for your feedback, both pro & con, especially those who sent all those private messages.
Dozvydanya,

Dr. J.

Now that you are back, it is about time you get off that couch Dr J, and do some more surveys.

Thanks for the great report.

It is always a thrill to read your reports, Jager, you certainly know how to have fun. The detail that you include in your writing is greatly appreciated.

I hope you have some new adventures soon, have a good time and come back and share your experiences with us here.

Thanks.

After reading this report I'm inspired to start studying Russian. Ukraine looks awesome!

Thanks again for the informative report Dr. J!

J,

For a first timer, do you recommend Kiev or Odessa. How is the availability? I want to walk out of the hotel and have a session in less then 30 min.

Again, great report.

I'm a big fan of your reports. Keep up the great work.
