~LVIV~
(Part-2)
And it is time to talk about the second part of my Lviv trippin'. Where we stopped to talk will surprise you actually because as I mentioned before also, this restaurant in Lviv was so special; Kryjivka Restaurant
When my local friend took us to this restaurant, for sure we didn't have any idea what was going to happen because we were just expecting that we were going to a classical restaurant in Lviv nothing more :) when we arrived there, we knocked the door and one pretty old uniformed guard :) opened the watcher part and asked the password. I and my friend surprised because 2 of us had never come across with this kind of view before :) The password to get in is "Heroyam slava!" means "Glory to Heroes". Probably you will ask why do they use this as a password. Because this was the greeting used by soldier of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) as used guerrilla war against the Nazis, Poles and Soviet Union between 1943-49.
Once inside, they give you a "welcoming gift"-"medovukha" an alcoholic drink steeped in natural honey and herbs. I am used to receive alcohol from the staff of restaurants as last drinks at previous travels of mine in Ukraine but this place has a different tradition. I simply loved it :)

| One Liter Traditional Beer :) |
The atmosphere of this restaurant is cozy and pretty dark but this was also interesting for me. The menu is in English&Ukrainian and by this 2 languages menu, we didn't become a big mess for my local friend :)

I tasted some of traditional Ukrainian dishes and saw the spirit especially when we visited there 2 days later again, while the traditional singers were trying to sing folk songs of Ukraine with me :) I and my friend suddenly became so popular in this restaurant when the singer lady wanted to sing folk songs especially with me because I am foreigner :)

| In front of Lviv City Hall |
After this pretty interesting restaurant I and my friend started to explore the city and as I don't use map so much during my walkings, we didn't use it again and we just wanted to walk as local people. If you ask me that it worked, yes it worked. :) As you see me and my friend (my commander from military times) in front of Lviv City Hall on the right side even if the weather was cold and rainy, the corner and the city hall were looking so attractive.
