Internet Access
Internet service in Ukraine has improved immensely in recent years.
» Most hotels now offer free wi-fi internet access.
» Restaurants and cafes are rapidly installing wi-fi technology.
» Upmarket hotels often have a business centre with a couple of terminals hooked up to
the internet.
» Internet cafes are not as common as they once were but there's usually at least one in
every town.
» Internet cafes often double up as noisy gaming centres.
» Ukrtelekom offers web access at its city-centre offices.
» Surf the net at so-called 'open spaces' where you pay for the time you are there, not in-
dividual drinks and web access.
Legal Matters
» Carry your passport with you at all times; if stopped by the police, you are obliged to
show it.
» If you are stopped by the police, ask to see their ID immediately.
» The police must return your documents at once.
» Do not get involved with drugs; penalties can be severe and the process leading up to
them labyrinthine.
» The US embassy in Kyiv maintains a list of English-speaking lawyers.
