There are certainly a lot of male expats but I've been surprised at how many American women there are here too... mainly Peace Corps with a sprinkling of missionaries, English teachers, and expat wives. <br /><br />Ah, Simferopol the alarm clock, what a great way to start the day :pCrazy About Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990920799981173553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656881569336871801.post-6274925525739980532014-01-15T05:28:40.649+02:002014-01-15T05:28:40.649+02:00Enjoyed looking at this blog.

I had a surreal experience in Simferopol last July as I had to pass it on the way to Yalta. Since it was so hot and my "hotel" did not have AC I went to sleep with the windows open. I was awoken around 5:30 in the morning by the call to prayers (I realized they have some Mosques in Simferopol and it is the center of Tatar culture) and then loud barking/fighting by packs of dogs who also seemed to have woken up. Anyways, I would have expected this to happen in the middle east but surely not in the former USSR. Good times indeed.
