Please help with a trip too Maripol.

 I am leaving in a few months to Maripol. Is anyone on here familiar with Maripol? Flats to rent, locals of help, etc.? Any help would be great. I have not found any agency offices or services in that city. Any ideas?

Sorry, I've not been there but I'm sure someone will come through with some real world info.

I did a quick search and stumbled upon a web cam...  http://www.opentopia.com/showcam.php?camid=1596

I know it's ludicrous but I LOVE web cams.  They show almost nothing and there's no sound but I just love watching normal ol' mundane life in far away places. 

When I was writing to my wife I found a web cam in her city (Dnepropetrovsk) and I'd watching this damn thing from Winter through to spring/summer.  When in Dnepr once I stood in the location (Europe Square) for AGES trying to spot where the webcam was.  Alas... it was never to be found and I think is now off-line.

Anyway...  if nothing else the one posted above will give you a live weather update.   

Good luck on your trip!

One person is a quirk, two is a syndrome.    I can appreciate "tourist traps", but I find the "real life" of distant places far more interesting.  Especially when I've been in that intersection. 

bigdeg, check your PM Inbox.  I'm curious what drew you to Mariupol.

myrddin,
Posting a little late but...I have always liked to stay off the beaten path, it is a steel city (born in Cleveland..still live close). Was only planning on seeing 1 woman there, could move on.

I get that.  I like to see both, but I often find myself more drawn to roads less traveled.

Is this a Visit One trip?  I doubt you'd have much difficult finding other women to meet in Mariupol.  But of course, that applies to a lot of the FSU!
