")))))) Interesting , I have been ice skating, bowling, billiards, karaoke, cinema, (Ukraine language) and have walked many miles in bitter cold this winter, but enjoyed it.Have also enjoyed visits to Russian sauna's and a major indoor aqua park. Even went tobogganing on a small hill.)))) I have yet to find an expat community here but would like to," remarked another expat who made the move to Kharkov, Ukraine.
"Life for a retiree in Ukraine and its surroundings can be quite enjoyable. There is an active expat community in Ukraine, with many retirees from other countries living in the country. There are plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the many churches and monasteries, as well as the many museums and galleries. There are also plenty of recreational activities to enjoy, such as hiking, biking, and skiing.
