I don't know, I don't know, I think none of the recent events have gone without a late-night trip to a strip bar ;)
A sauna also seems like a good idea for this time of year and the circumstances...
If you really want to, you can arrange a taxi ride to a strip bar ;) A house with a sauna is much smaller and generally "worse" than this option, and it costs about the same. Trust me, this is the best place for our plan.
I'll buy the tickets tomorrow. Departure from Moscow is on January 2nd at 16:57, arrival in Kyiv at 04:13, or departure from Moscow at 22:15, arrival in Kyiv at 11:26. Which time is better? Honestly, I prefer the train that arrives at 04:13, because you can go straight to sleep after the trip, and you won't have to go through customs at 3-4 am (as with the second option), but at 23:00. Also, the first train takes almost 3 hours less, but I understand that the house will only be available on January 3rd from 12:00? The return train leaves Kyiv at 13:20 on January 7th and arrives in Moscow at 05:33. Is this time arrangement okay? Or is the house available until January 7th, and the departure is on the 8th?
It's definitely better to arrive at 11:26. There's no need to even think about it with these options. The return train leaves Kyiv at 13:20 on January 7th - this is also a good option. The house is rented for 4 days, from the 3rd to the 7th, so you'll have to check out on the morning of January 7th.
If we come, it will be just Napalm and me. I'm checking to see if I can make it, and who will be among the familiar faces. The downsides: only 4 days and Euromaidan (although for some, this is a plus)).
Who will be in charge of the judging questions? Vika won't be, and Tvaryna will be playing, as I understand.
Come, we'll be glad to see you! :smile12: We'll see about the judging - Nagan will be in charge, as far as I understand? I'll also be involved if needed. And if enough people show up, I might not play, but I'll focus on organizing and streaming. As for the 4 days, it's not too much, not too little. In this situation, it's optimal, in my opinion.
Regarding "Euromaidan". Guys, don't worry, everything is fine here. First of all, all this activity takes place exclusively in the city center and does not affect other areas. The only inconvenience is that it will not be possible to see the central sights properly. Otherwise, we live as before. Watch less news and trust the "primary source" - people who live here. And it will all be over in a month, no matter what.

What surprises me most about this event is that there was exactly the same Maidan about 10 years ago. I hope I don't have to tell you what happened then. A smart person learns from the mistakes of others, a fool learns from his own, but what should we call those who don't want to learn even from their own mistakes???)))
And Vic is right, there is little positive here.
Not really, actually. I've seen both that "Maidan" and this one firsthand. Apparently, even people from Ukraine, but from other cities, don't quite understand what's happening in Kyiv.

You probably won't fit in a 2-room apartment for 4 days, especially with alcohol.
In Ukraine, from the 1st to the 7th are official holidays, and no state canteen will be open. And if you eat in a cafe, you won't be able to stay within 500 rubles a day (and even at non-holiday prices).
A relatively budget-friendly option is to eat at places like Puzata Hata, but you have to get there separately, and alcohol is prohibited there.
A real way to save on food is to cook yourself. But again, with holiday markups on products. It is then necessary to buy products in one place (preferably in a supermarket for a number of reasons). Choose a menu that suits everyone. And in general, is there a decent kitchen, utensils, and dishes in the house? And who will cook?...
Well, a big plus of this option is the ability to organize snacks right on the spot of the event =)
P.S. About poker. It is not necessary to play poker for real money. If you have a poker set (chips), it is interesting to play even without money. Or, as an option, play for favors, such as washing dishes or cleaning. And if you play for money, then for small amounts.
Please don't write inaccurate information ;) There are no "holiday markups" here. Prices in stores / cafes, etc. are always fixed. I wrote about the prices in this thread, if necessary, I can write them again. In general, everyone decides for themselves how much and what to eat / drink.
Regarding the kitchen - there is a kitchen, there are dishes, there is a barbecue. There is no cook yet. If such a person appears, it would be great!
