Kiev is the capital of Great Britain

Hello. My name is Sasha and i am 23 y.o. engineer from Ukraine. I am sorry for my little joke with post title, it is made to get your attention. Obviously Kiev is the capital of Ukraine. And now i will try to redeem my guiltiness by presenting to you my country in 6 things you didn't know.

1. Girls

It is true. In 2012 Dailymail (link) named Ukrainian and Swedish women the world's most beautiful.
The art of attracting a male is more developed in Ukrainian culture, and flirtatious behavior is generally viewed positively. They spontaneity, emotionality, and a carefree and humorous attitude are valued in Ukrainian and Russian urban culture. Women are largely unhindered by prudishness, moral prohibitions, or an inability to take things lightly. Ukraine lacks most of the gender role confusion and paranoia about sexual harassment that has become characteristic of western society. Displaying sexuality and overtly masculinity or femininity is generaly viewed positively. Ukrainian women probably identify less with their careers and usually do not feel an imperative need to be independent from men. On average they are more comfortable with typically female roles and do not need to compete successfully with men or even outdo them to feel empowered.

They beautiful even in politics

Even in police

2. It is large

Not counting Russia, which has an ambiguous relationship with Europe, Ukraine is the continent’s largest county at 603,628 square kilometres, stretching from Russia in the east to Poland in the west, and sandwiched between the Black Sea in the south and fellow former Soviet state Belarus in the north. France is a respectable second at 551,695 square kilometres.

3. It likes a drink, but not as much as it used to

Data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) ranked Ukraine sixth in alcohol consumption, with 13.9 litres glugged per capita per year. The study from 2010 put only Belarus (top), Moldova, Lithuania, Russia and Romania ahead of Ukraine. However, initial figures for last year tell a different story, with the country falling to 15th place, with a figure of 11.8. In the estimate, the UK features above Ukraine, in 13th place.

4. But it's not just vodka

While we’re on the subject, it’s worth noting that Ukrainians do not drink vat-loads of vodka as one might assume. The national drink is called horilka, and though very close to vodka and used a substitute term for the clear spirit, it is actually slightly different. While vodka means “little water”, horilka means “burning water”, a nod to the fact that drink is often flavoured with chili pepper.

5. It loves Mcdonald's

Ukraine is not all about booze. The McDonald’s next to the main train station in Kiev, the country’s capital, is claimed to be the third busiest in the world.

6. You can ski there

It’s no French Alps, but Ukraine has about four or five ski resorts to shout about, including Bukovel in the Carpathian mountains, with 55km of slopes and 15 lifts.

That's all

At the end of this post i want to say that it is my personal test of steem. I want to see will i have some feedback or not.
