Grrrr

The people we have met during the last three weeks have been a real mix. We have run the gamut from being looked after and shepherded to frustrated and ignored.
For example the other day we got ourselves a little lost (again) on a tram in Lviv. Once the conductor realised we had no idea and we did not 'speaka za deutch' she employed a couple of fellow passengers who were headed the same way as us to show us where to go and what to do. A little embarrassing but helpful all the same.
On the other end of the scale we were in the middle of updating this blog the other day when the girl in charge of our console just switched our connection off with two minutes to spare. No warning, nothing. All our valuable blogging lost too.
As the guide book pointed out, a sense of humor and flexibility is essential and we have made good use of ours.
Surprisingly it has been the transport staff who have been most helpful (even if you do have to visit 3 desks to get the right info.) We were always looked after and one lady was particularly amused when checking our passports and realising our names were Adam and Eva. She cracked up and let everyone in the vicinity know what was so funny. Once again embarrassing but nice.
We will be a little sad to leave Ukraine as there is quite possibly no other place like it in the world..
