Most of you don t known Nishym, It s normal. It s an untouristic city situated in the center of Ukraine.

Fidji a friend of mine came 5 days to give me a visit in KIev. After having few days in the capital, we decided to adventure us in a small city in the middle of nowhere. We went to the railway station and we took the first train leaving.

We wanted to go to an untouristic place. Someone helped us to get the ticket, we took a train running towards moscow.

On the train we was with two old russian ladies, they brought lot of food, it smelt chicken in all the tren carriage. I ll try to load the picture on the blog. It s worth seeing it.

In the middle of the countryside, the tren stop at least half hour (we didnt t know the reason) ...Anyway..tren s controlers  went in the forest beside the tren track to bring back wood....people from the tren help them..the heating system of each carriage works with coal and wood..Controlers have in charge to put wood and coal in the different fire place of the tren during the journey.

 We got off the train at the first stop. Nizhym is at 150 km from Kviv, on the northeast direction.

Fortunately , there was an hotel, with the view on the Lenine Statue, on the main square. People said to uis that we was the first tourist in this city. The hotel is for the student or the workers who are not from this city.

It was exotic for most of them to meet foreigners. The problem was to communicate with people. Wew was really hungry, we went to the restaurant and fidji ordered the most expensive dish and orange juice.  Instead of to carry 2 dishes, the waitress carried us two bottles of champagne. Unfortunately we ordered drinks instead of food. Russian language is so misunderstable for us. We could explain with some difficulties to the girl that we wanted to eat.

At the time to go out , we didn t find out a club to go out, so as the local people we bought a bottle of vodka and we drank it below the bus stop with the young of the city. We received a really nice welcome. We didn t finish the bottles, but homeless remated them as soon as we left.
