Every summer I spent was boring and uneventful. However, this year my father and I went fishing. It sounds like a normal vacation but it's not. During our vacation, we were caught in heavy rain and our car got stuck in the mud. My dad didn't know what to do but thanks to my gut we were saved. All would be well if it were true. We found a lot of worms in the car, so we had to leave the car with our things. We wandered and could not return home and fishing turned into a whole trip. We stopped and made a tent out of planks we found along the way.
It all ended up with the help of the foresters and we returned home.
Despite all this I think it was an unusual vacation and an interesting experience.
Ukraine is famous for its historical monuments and different places of interest. It has seven World Heritage Sites, including the 11th century Saint-Sophia Cathedral and Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the city of Lviv, which is called Ukraine’s cultural capital, and the primeval beech forests of the Carpathians. The country is also known for its strong tradition of folk art. Due to Ukraine’s location, its culture has been influenced by the cultures of both western Europe and Russia.
People in Ukraine speak Ukrainian and Russian, and generally they are hospitable, kind and friendly. A lot of tourists come here from other countries to spend their holidays. Usually they all try traditional Ukrainian food, such as borscht, cabbage rolls, varenyky (dumplings) and studynets (a form of headcheese).
I have been to Ukraine twice and I would like to come again because there is so much more to explore!
