Ternopil

Ternopil is another major city of Ukraine, also located in the west of the country, belonging to the Garlicia region, same as Lviv.  The city was built by Polish in the mid 1500s, later have seen Tatar attacks, Khmelntsky uprising, Turks / Tatar invasions multiple times, Polish, Russian and German occupation.  The city was also part of the region in the Hitler Stalin secrete pact, where it was taken under Soviet Russia, and in turn placed under the Ukraine SSR.

Ternopil is also Natalia's hometown.  We spent about 6 hours in Ternopil city, before we took a taxi to go to get to Natalia's dad's farm.

Arrived 10:30 at night, from Lviv.  This is a picture taken at the train station, although, the station was at the back of the camera.  It was too dark for a possible picture.

This is the second day in the morning.  We are taking a bus heading to downtown.  Out time budget was only a few hours.

The buses look all the same, in Ternopil or in Lviv, or in Kiev.

She is an actress.  Yet to find out more about her.

This is a map with all the attraction points.

All dolls with Ukrainian costumes.

This is the fun part.  Beer at a convenient beer shop (which is hardly any more than a stand), with dried fish.

Scales off.  Ready to eat.

The beer was great, but wouldn't be THAT great without this fish.  My next trip to Ukraine, among many other things, I will do that again.  What's good with Ukraine is, it ain't hard to find these stands.

Yet to find out who this.

A well.

Out lunch.

This is a good casual restaurant.  Food seem affordable to locals.  For me, it was another good experience.  Food was good, as always.
