Hey guys, I am heading to Ukraine on the OSCE mission. Has anyone worked this contract and can provide any useful info, tips, tricks, or just FYI information?
 
PM:ed you
 
My mom's side of the family is from Ukraine. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll try to help you out as much as I can. And I'm conversational in Ukrainian.
 
Any cultural taboos I should know about? How is the local medical care?
 
Look out for rooskies

I'll get back to you on taboos. As to medical care, it's a pretty corrupt system. In most places, you still need to pay bribes to your doctors or nurses to get medical care and be seen. Infrastructure will vary depending on which part of the country you go to. People are generally receptive to western medicine and respect the medical authority, although they may have a willingness to try to wait it out and not go seek care until they're really sick.

He was asking about Ukraine...NOT America!! :) :P
 
On side notes, the chicks are hot but likely to take your wallet. The hotel I stayed at blatantly advertised to call the front desk for "romance" to be delivered.

But hey, have fun.. stay safe. There is a *good* Scotch Whisky pub/restaurant/bar in Kiev. If you get by the Harley Davidson shop, I want a tshirt. They were sold out last year.
 
Gonna bump this, as I am curious if OSCE is still going to be looking for more medics in the near future. Just got back from Ukraine two months ago and would love to land a job there.
 
Yes they are. You can PM me for details if you want as I don't want to post the sponsor and the company together on here
