Can someone recommand a rental car company in Ukraine?

Q: I plan to go to Ukraine in August. Is there a rental car company recommanded? A friend of mine used SIXT rental car Ukraine but found a bad service in Kiev and cars that not safe.

A: In Ukraine you have different options. I frequently travel to Ukraine for business. Stay away from SIXT, the cars I used always had problems. The staff is not very qualified and always want to make you belief that you as client are wrong. If something with the car is wrong, I expect an apologize and assistance without any questions asked. SIXT rental car is just another Ukrainian company with terrible quality and very awful service. You may check companies like Herz rental cars or Avis or the service of Budget. You can find offices at airport in Kiev and downtown Kiev.

is my grandmother ukranian or russian?

Q: my grandmother was born in 1930 in kiev. kiev is now part of the ukraine, but i believe back then it was part of russia. so is she considered russian or ukranian?

A: Back then it was part of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union was composed of several (I want to say 52) "states" (which had very little independence, so they were really only seperate "states" on paper), the largest of which was Russia. People commonly, incorrectly, used the terms "Russia" and "Soviet Union" interchangably. Ukraine, Estonia, Kyrgistan, etc. were all "seperate" states the whole time they were in the Soviet Union.

If you are from say Brittish Columbia, you are also Canadian. Your grandmother was Ukrainian, and she was a Soviet.

world geography riddle?

Q: Where on Earth?

You're standing outside the airport terminal in Moscow on a cold winter night. Snow streams past the windows of the taxi as you ride to your hotel. Leaning back in the seat, you review the purpose of your trip. As director of operations for a major American restaurant chain, you must choose the company's next location in northern Eurasia. The first location, right here in Moscow, has been a huge success.

In your briefcase, you have a list of 12 northern Eurasian cities, all eager candidates for the site of your company's next restaurant. Key officials of the nations in which those cities are located have dreams of duplicating that success-of bringing American investment and new jobs to their nations.

In your hotel room, you pull the typewritten list out of your briefcase and scan it quickly. The names are familiar to you by now: Moscow (a second outlet here might make sense, given how well the first one is doing), St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Kazan, and Omsk, all in Russia; Tbilisi, Georgia; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; Minsk, Belarus; Almaty; Kazakstan; Kiev and Odessa, Ukraine; and finally Baku, Azerbaijan.

Officials from each of these northern Eurasian nations will be competing for your business. Knowing this, you must carefully scrutinize the arguments they present. After all the work your company has put into its expansion plan, a poor choice could be financially disastrous.

The next day, you have arranged to meet one by one with officials from each of the nations. Your first appointment with the Russian official begins, and your translator, Alexander, relays his opening words: "Your letters inform us that you have 12 cities under consideration. We can save you some time and effort by telling you that in our opinion, you should not give your golden opportunity to a city located above 55* N latitude. Your restaurant would profit better if it were located in a more temperate city." "Thank you," you reply, and after some small talk, the appointment ends.

After checking your atlas, you agree with the Russian official. You cross one city off your list; now 11 cities remain.

Translating for the Georgian official, Alexander begins your next appointment by saying, "We sincerely hope that you will give full consideration to Georgia in making your decision. After all, your restaurant would probably be most successful if it were located in a capital city like ours." Then, he adds: "We also believe that your restaurant should be located somewhere other than Moscow. The economy there may not be able to support a second franchise." After some thought, you agree that a capital city would probably be the best setting for the new restaurant, and that it might not be best to risk a second restaurant in Moscow at this time. Mentally, you cross Moscow off the list, as well as four cities that are not national capitals. Now, six cities remain.

Translating for the official from Belarus, Alexander says, "After reviewing your menu, we think that you should note that some of your meals would be prohibited in nations where Islam is the dominant religion."

You know from the map in your briefcase that three of the six remaining choices have just been eliminated. Following this appointment, you comment to Alexander that you have eliminated all but three cities from your list. Alexander offers you his own advice: "Would it not make sense to locate your restaurant in the remaining city with the largest population?" Since one of the remaining cities does have a larger population than the other two, you tend to agree. After some careful double-checking, you make your call to company headquarters, and announce exactly where in northern Eurasia your next restaurant will be located.

Which of the 12 northern Eurasian cities will be the home of your company's newest restaurant? Hint: Use information from an atlas and an almanac to eliminate all but one city.

Tbilisi, Georgia
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Minsk, Belarus
Kiev, Ukraine


I BELIEV IT IS KIEV, UKRAINE...BUT I AM NOT SURE

A: It is Kiev!

Tashkent is in mostly muslim country, so the menu is not suitable, it should have been eliminated in the third round.

Tbilisi population 1.4 million.
Minsk population 1.8 million.
Kiev population 2.8 million.

BTW: I was born in Kiev.
