Hello, I am in Central Europe at the moment. In a week I will venture from Poland into Ukraine and then Romania.
I am very excited but nervous. It's my first time out of the west. Especially Ukraine as the letter is different.
I have a feeling stopping into Lviv train station will feel bit like the soviet era.
However a 13 hour sleeper train for 4 euros is unbelievable. I have to actually walk 30 minutes across the border. I will either have to hitchhike or get a taxi. The first sounds more economical
So what are you experiences in Eastern Europe? Your favorite countries?

I don't think your border crossing will require a taxi. It'll be a matter of getting off your train, walking through the border and getting back onto a train.
I loved Romania and also really like Hungary.
Big fan of the Czech Republic and Slovakia and also had lots of fun in the Balkans.
I think you will be surprised how cosmopolitan Lviv is.
The woman I spoke to on your behalf the other day spoke better English than you.

I would love to visit Eastern Europe one day...

me too, I went to passchendaele and ypres last November for the 100 years and found my great grandfathers name at tyne cot cemetery, that aside I met many Europeans in the town of muscron in Belgium. I think they were most welcoming and polite to strangers. the food is divine.

Hello,
I go this weekend but only Lviv. I am Using it as a stop on a long journey from Krakow to North Romania.
Sadly not long enough.

There's a vast difference with north eastern, middle eastern and southern eastern Europe. You may not pigeonhole it. It depends on a country and there are tens of them only here in eastern Europe. Sorry. :)
-
I do not like it. It's too big and parts of it smell strange.
-
Which parts ?
-
I agree Rusco. Each country is massively different. For instance Romania where I am now has the least structure. At least Maramures region. Ukraine is slightly similar. Poland and Hungary completely different. I have not been to Bulgaria but hear it's great.
I have not yet noticed a smell except cow shit used as fertilizer and that's not exclusive. Western Europe is also big.
I have mixed feelings about the parts of Romania, I have seen. The fact that hitch hiking replaces much of public transport and you are expected to pay is a bit strange. But it's just how it is.

I think Hungarian women are the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. And I've been to Denmark !
