Walking on water

Feel like Jesus walking on water – visit Solotvynski Lakes in Zakarpattya. The salinity of Kunihunda Lake is higher than that of the Dead Sea. The high salinity of its water causes super buoyancy, meaning it is practically impossible to drown in this lake. Naturally, you will not be able to walk upright, but you can endlessly do the crawl on your belly.
You can also cover your body with curative mud that smells like rotten eggs. Crawling on the surface of the water is both healthy and educational. But try to avoid water getting into your eyes or open wounds on your body or you will feel the passions of Christ as well.
Where to crawl on water:
Solotvyno, Tyachiv County,
Zakarpattya Oblast
Three wells in Chyhyryn

If you are happily married and for whatever reason visit the village of Subotiv in the Cherkasy Oblast, don’t drink the water from local wells. You will not be poisoned, but you definitely might end up searching for you Prince Charming or a beautiful princess. The fact is Subotiv is famous for its three wells that are despised by feminists and woman-haters. They say when someone drinks water from those wells in turns, they will find a person for their “happily ever after” in three days. Statistics claim the well miracle works in 90% of the cases. No wonder single ladies from all over Ukraine flock to these wells almost every day.

Though summer is not yet upon us, you can still go sunbathing in Crimea. The most interesting place to sunbathe is on the Alushta VIP Nude Beach. There you won’t see any ugly people here. Security at the entrance is responsible for people’s body control (as opposed to face control) and will not let anybody with an unattractive figure inside.
Fancy clothing, the thickness of one’s wallet or intellectual capacity will not help you get onto this beach. Ladies should have a nice body nearing 100-60-90 and UAH 50-100 to pay the admission fee (the amount depends on the shape of their bodies). The same applies to men who will either envy or empathize with the bodies they walk past on the beach…

Evade a steamer
The name of the bridge in Mykolayiv across the Southern Bug River has nothing in common with the brutal attitude to cultural heritage and historical monuments. The bridge is unique in Ukraine as it is movable. However, unlike the bridges in St. Petersburg, it works like a turnstile. If you want to feel like a toreador evading a huge steamer, just be there on the middle of the bridge at the right time.
