Food, if you can call most of this that, is very inexpensive in Ukraine, $4.93 for this at a small store built into the ground floor of our apartment building. Two 1 liter Cokes, a 2 liter Kvas, sliced bread and a big bag of chips.
It's real branded Coke and this Coke Zero tastes identical because it has artificial sweeteners, but in Doha, Qatar where I work, regular Coke is made with Caine sugar and does taste better. Bacon flavored chips The Kvas is what I'm drinking this afternoon, it's better than Coke. I was drinking Scotch yesterday, I don't drink in Qatar anymore, you have to have a special non-Muslim foreigner card to buy it and can only get it from one store but they charge four times the regular price as a sin tax, screw their sin tax, I don't need it that much.
My wife's son had a wedding yesterday, damn they were pouring the alcohol into everyones glasses non-stop, I'm not going to drink for awhile, had enough! Didn't get drunk, but had my fill of it. I have never been much of a drinker most of my life, I had three bottles of Scotch last year, but except for this trip to Ukraine, none this year. My ex-wife was fairly devout Mormon, was married to her 27 years and never had alcohol in the house due to her religious beliefs, but I'd sometimes have a beer when traveling and she wasn't around to see it.
One thing about Ukraine, alcohol is extremely cheap here, I don't think they tax it.
Yeah, I remember when all Coke was made from caine sugar. Those were the days. None of it tastes good to me now. Don't feel pregnant. I don't drink alcohol either. I had a Guiness about ten years ago and it was not the same as when I was in my 20s. I guess I totally lost my taste for it.
I sure hope this isn't used to further remove endangered animals from protection by lawmakers. I personally like seeing the bears and many other animals.
