Thanks for the advice.

Hello,

   My trip to Ukraine in near future will most likely not be reported here but thanks for the others who have done so.
   I've decided to enjoy the trip and learn about the culture as I've stated before but I do not think I will fall head over heels for anyone on this trip. I will attempt to not do this as a matter of fact. I will be open minded and if I get hit with cupids arrow then I will have to analyze it in a strong way for all involved.
   I think that I have learned so much here that I may not ever attempt to find an FSU wife or significant other from the FSU because of all the detail and pains that it causes to endure this process.
   Yesterday I had a discussion with a lady friend who could not understand why I'd go to Ukraine looking for a wife. She went so far as to call me stupid. "Your just stupid"..lol If I could prove I was smart then that would be a miracle but she had already told me I was stupid. Seems she could not seperate the two issues of making a stupid decision and being stupid? In any case she could be correct in thinking it's a stupid idea but I'm not sure based on the facts of her OPINION.
   Nope I will probably not post here very much if at all because I am leery of the process and the influence of this forum in regards to what should or should not be done and when and how etc.. I don't want to get into a flame session or anything as that's a waste of time. I just want to go on my vacation and see what happens and have fun.
   I really enjoyed it here for a short time of nine days and if chance and destiny some of you find what you seek it's a great thing and I am very happy for you. I wish nothing but good to you all and that this life is all you want it to be.

Adios,

Makkin

Makkin, I hope you have a nice trip and if you ever want to tell us about it we would love to hear how your trip goes. 

I hope you did not feel we were too critical of your plans.   It was not our intention to be negative.  It was our hopes to help you be successful. 

Would you be crazy to marry and FSU women.   Don't listen to us and don't listen to your friend.  Try to meet a few on your trip and decide for yourself.   I will bet if you meet a few you will think you would be crazy not to marry one.

You are going with no plans and no back up plans.   That's ok.  You have to do it your way to find out what you want.   Just remember that with agencies you don't need advance planning.  While you are trying out some of the cuisine, try out a few agency's.   It will be a fun experience for you anyway.   Give that a try if you can but do what you want.   That is your right and you need to do what you are comfortable with.   Good luck on your trip.   I am sure we all wish you well.
