Thank you - a lot of real good ideas!!! What about staying in a Russian home with Russians including sleeping there?


I've never bribed anyone in my life and plan to keep it that way.

Thank you,

Scott

please do not try to bribe anyone, even if conditions allow to

be particularly wary of extortion at the customs, it can come in many guises

if medical workers demand money for something covered by your medical insurance don't give in, unless of course your health profoundly depends on your decision.

keep a mobile phone to use for calls within the country you're in and a couple of numbers of the US consulate in that country
do not hesitate to threat will a phone call to the consulate if any official is harassing you

if you happen to have to protect your rights, basically do it as you would do so in the US

in Ukraine police emergency number is 102, ambulance 103

don't try to bring into Ukraine gadgets with built in video camera (except cell phone) this is prosecutable as criminal offence

of course it's best if you have someone from the locals keeping company with you
