Ukraine - july
Carte Ukraine avec L'viv et Drohobyc ( en rouge) : Le 1er week end de juillet , je suis allée avec Damian , mon coordinateur et sa copine Renata en Ukraine . Réveil à 4 heure du matin pour prendre le premier train en direction de Przemysl , à la frontière de l'Ukraine puis un bus pour aller à la frontière . On a passé la frontière à pied , en frontière polonaise , il n'y a pas trop de souci mais en frontière Ukrainienne , c'est pas toujours évident . Heureusement que j'étais avec des personnes qui parlent ukrainien, sans ça , le passage à la frontière aurait été plus difficle car ils nous demandent où on va, on dort, combien de temps on reste et quand on ne comprend pas les questions en ukrainien, ça peut ne pas être facile et surtout qu'ils ne font pas toujours trop l'effort de parler en anglais ou en polonais . Donc une française qui traverse la frontière surtout à pied , ça les a un peu surpris . Enfin , je suis allée à Drohobyc , à deux heures et plus de la frontière . La différence est évidente dès le passage à la frontière , les bus datent d'une " autre époque" , les routes sont pas toujours très faciles en campagne , l'organisation est plutôt " folkorique" . Autant dire, que c'est un peu l'aventure. Les villes sont encore très imprégnés de l'époque communiste ( vieux buildings) , mais on sent que le développement est présent . Les campagnes sont plutôt jolies , petites maisons , certains travaillent encore avec les chevaux et les charrettes .C'est un pays très intéressant de par sa culture, sa langue, son alphabêt ( impossible à comprendre au début ) .
The 1st week end of July, I went with Damian, my coordinator and his girlfriend Renata in Ukraine. Wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to take the first train in the direction of Przemysl on the border of Ukraine and then a bus to go to the border. We have crossed the border on foot. In Polish border, there is not too worried but at the Ukrainian border, is not always easy. Fortunately I was with people who speak ukrainian, without it, border crossings would have been more difficult because they ask us where we are going, we sleep, how long we stay and when you do not understand the questions in Ukrainian , it may not be easy and most importantly that they do not always make effort to speak in English or Polish. So a French crossing the border mostly on foot, it has a little surprised for them. Finally, we went to Drohobyc, two hours and over the border. The difference is obvious from the border crossings, buses date from "another time", the roads are not always very easy to use in countryside, the organization is rather "folk". In other words, it is a little adventure. The cities are still imbued with the communist era (old buildings) but we feel that the development is present. The campaigns are rather nice, small houses, some people still work with horses and carts. It is a very interesting country with its culture, language, alphabêt (impossible to understand at the beginning).
