What would happen if I offer a random girl Hryvnia in Zaporizhia to show me around the town for the day? Zaporizhia is a conservative place and people talk Russian. Personally if you offered someone and they didn't speak English it could be seen as soliciting!!! To George, Zaporizhia is a very conservative place? Taurean, I'm not offended at all, that is why I said "I'll try and learn some Ukrainian before I come".
To cut a long story short, am hoping for a pay off from work. If I get it, I'd like to go to Ukraine for a week or two before looking for a new job, and I have no-one to come with me because they have no time, no money or too scared. All am asking is, is it possible to go into a bar, buy a few drinks, and talk to bar staff and ask if they know anybody that will show me around town for a rate?
You know, there is this such psychological feature of the people. That if e. Just because if people help someone, they get this feeling of being a nice person. But if they get paid for it, they switch to a different mode and start to perceive it as a job and compare it to how other jobs are paid.
Even thought it's completely irrational, since 3 dollars are better than nothing ;- That's why the reaction to your original post was like that.
I don't mean that finding someone randomly on the street to show the city of Zaporizhzhia for hryvnias is something that can't possibly happen. The money are pretty good. You may even offer hryvnias to make it look more real, not like a foreign tourist scattering the money it's a common stereotype in Ukraine , and people can rather take advantage of you from you knowing that.
