It was very interesting. You know, I expected the price of food to be less than this in UA. I guess I remembered things like the super cheap bread. Either that or my "divide by 8" math skills (to make the conversion from grivna to dollars) is not very good. LOL Not that I buy them, but I remember the cigarettes were pretty cheap compared to USA. However, when you factor in the difference in wages, they are actually pretty expensive. When we were in Kramatorsk last summer, we found an apt for $20/night for the 3 weeks we were there. That is a great price for us, but thinking about it, that is still $600/month for a pretty tiny Soviet-built apt. (I realize it would be less expensive for a longer lease.) All very interesting.

Many of the prices are comparable to living here, such as the price of milk and eggs. Housing is much cheaper there, as is postage (we live just north of the US, but it costs us $1.18 to mail a letter to the US!). I was about to complain inwardly when I read the net income and standard of living of the average Ukrainian - then I realized how blessed we are here in North America! We lack nothing, and we even live close enough to the US border that it's easy to run down to shop more cheaply. What a needed reminder of how blessed we are! This was very interesting and eye-opening!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733406219995902188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-14288031337207213302012-07-22T12:51:41.183-07:002012-07-22T12:51:41.183-07:00Of course you can use it!
