Hello Everyone

[oldernotwiser]

Just thought I would say hello.  Just joined so to speak, have viewed some of the postings on the forums in the past, trying to learn a little bit.  What can I tell you, took a trip to Kharkov this summer, will probably go back soon.  Anyway I enjoy reading what some of you have posted, I will probably not have much of anything to add to the discussions, but I thought I would join the community and discussion.

Steve: Welcome!
 
But about your name...

I hope you ARE wiser 

I think you are.

... took a trip to Kharkov this summer, will probably go back soon.

Is THIS the reason of your chosen nickname ? Welcome to RWD, Steve.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Sandro, Just letting you know, Kharkov I thought was great.  Had a wonderful time.

The reason for the nickname, tried to think of something.  Thought about it, I have been married once, well that didn't workout.  What can I say, you know you make your vows when you get married that you will be together forever.  That didn't happen.  Guess, I am saying that although my first marriage failed, am looking to try it again if I find the right person.

Privet Steve,

When was you in Kharkov this summer and how was Kharkov? I was in Kharkov from late june to late July this summer..

Hello Thor

I was in Kharkov the last week of July.  It was funny, because I met this sweet lady who was from the Ukraine, prior to boarding the plane in New York.  Anyway she asks me where I am going, so I say Kharkov like I would phonetically pronounce it based on its English spelling.  Car Cov, she goes where???  After I repeated myself about three times she says hharkiv, only it is tough to reproduce this effectively.  She says, well that is where I was from.  We both thought it was kind of funny that I did not even know how to say the name of the place I was going to.

Hi again,

Where did you stay in Kharkov and did you meet many girls in Kharkov? I have been to Kharkov 12 or 13 times and I am married to a Kharkov girl . I just love Kharkov and there are so many hot girls there.

[oldernotwiser]

I stayed a few blocks from the central square.  Walked around most of the time I stayed there.  Took the subway once and also took a cab one time.  I did meet a few ladies while I was there, and I agree with you Thor, there are many beautiful women walking around Kharkov.  So you married someone from Kharkov, congratulations.  I take it then you would recommend others try their luck there?

Now THAT is an understatement if I've ever heard one! 

Steve,

 If you read through Thor's threads he is probably the greatest promoter of Kharkov there has ever been.

Good luck in your adventures!
