Odessa has a charm of this pre-war, decorated mansions, parks, churches and narrow streets. Now – on the main promenade – Deribasovskaya – you will find also casinos…
Vodka is inexpensive – from 8 hryvna for the half-litre bottle (they pay 5 hryvna for 1 USD). People from my dormitory in the hostel (sorry – British, Americans…) returned late in the night. In the morning in the room there was unpleasant smell of the alcohol… Do they look here for the new travel experiences? I took a walk to the main market at the end of Preobrazhenskaya Street. Marketts are live and funny worldwide… I took some pictures. The old but charming vendor warned me in Russiaan: -Do you know that it is forbiden to take pictures at the market? The police will come and catch you! Why? Nobody knows… But I had the same problem on the market in the market in the capital of Moldova: the policeman stoped me to take pics on the bazaar. Old soviet behaviours? Just be careful!
