Lviv, again and again
We were this close to moving to Lviv; even the internet is reliable there now – the lovely People.net provider covers the city center pretty well; he transport to and from Kyiv is comparatively fine – the “Stolychyi express” train takes you there in six hours; there are plenty of restaurants and bazaars to get decent food – in short I found all the research necessary. Except one biggie- the housing expense (even out in West) makes it almost unaffordable :/, no matter how dilapidated and run down the apartments in mind are. This is the wonderful paradox of modern Ukrainian life: how can people afford to live in such poverty on such highly-price property? Something else must be going on here…
Anyway, besides the heavy thoughts of raising thousands ( in cash) for making our dream of living in Lviv come true, the lovely scenery inspired lots of sketching and doodling. I am particularly proud of these two:

I am also looking forward to moving to Lviv. I currently live in Toronto but last year we bought an apartment in Lviv and are about to do some modern renovations. I can’t wait!

Way to go, Orest! last year’s prices are very different from this year’s prices, sigh.

How much have the prices gone up?
Can’t be that much!
Well this is Ukraine who knows!

The prices hit an equilibrium enough, not to consider this purchase an investment
The conventional owning for living is more of a trend these days, although you never know..
