Title: I need a rest Post by: doubleup on July 05, 2006, 05:31:48 PM I noticed that there was a poker tournament in the Ukraine later in the year - checking out the casino website, I noticed this strage turn of phrase:
"Don't miss your chance to learn this new for Kharkov game and also to meet new people, to have good meal in "Kharkov" restaurant that is next door to the casino, to have rest in "Kharkov" strip-bar, play billiards in "Skorpion" billiards club and to have fun with game-playing machines." http://www.casino.kharkov.ua/e/kharkov.html Title: Re: I need a rest Post by: Ironside on July 05, 2006, 06:40:17 PM ok when is the comp how much is the trip and do they have lifts to the BAR?

Title: Re: I need a rest Post by: doubleup on July 05, 2006, 06:49:45 PM ps do i need anything other than a passport to get in ( i am expecting my passport in next 2 weeks) I think it is a tad difficult to get from Scotland to Kharkov, but I'm working on it :D Title: Re: I need a rest Post by: doubleup on July 11, 2006, 08:28:14 PM My research continues with a visit to Kharkov's official website - their honesty is so endearing I'm actually inclined to try to get there:
"The truth is that Kharkiv is not much of a tourist city and therefore can not compete with such leaders of world tourism as Venice, Rome or Saint Petersburg (although in some sense Kharkiv in Ukraine is like Saint Petersburg in Russia). Kharkiv is the largest scientific industrial and trade center of Ukraine. At the same time all guests and visitors who come to our city on business trips say that they like it here. They admit that the city has beautiful parks, squares and gardens and that it has a lot of greenery. Moreover, it turns out that there are sights worth to look at in Kharkiv. And in general we are fine to have enough sightseeing opportunities. Maybe just to renovate somewhere and give it minor repairs."
