Things you see in Ukraine

Yup, there are a few common sights or things you can see all over Ukraine, no matter which city you travel to.
Here are some of the examples:)
Trolleybus!!!
How could you miss a trolleybus ride in ukraine? hehe...but to tell you the truth, so far i had only taken trolleybus less than 5 times! it is toooooo slow and not so hygenic :P
FYI, here in the crimean peninsula, we have the longest trolleybus route (from simferopol to yalta) in the world!
Marshrutka!!!
Yes, another very very very very common (even more common than trolleybus nowadays i suppose) kind of transportation - the infamous Marshrutka!
Basically it is just a small van or small bus (getting bigger over the years, and equipped with auto-doors). It can always amaze you by the number of passengers it can carry at one time, never underestimate it! :P more than 30 people can be squeezed inside even though the capacity maybe 20? You can say it is not bad if it is during winter, mass cuddling keep warm :) BUT if it is during summer?!?!?! OMG, u go and imagine yourself (FYI, some smaller type marshrutka comes with very limited windows, perhaps 1 ontop, 2 on the sides?)
