Regarding the economic crisis that hitted worldwide lately has a tremendous impact on most of countries around the world...Iceland, Hungary, Ukraine are loaning money from the IMF, and rumors saying that Republic of China going to buy the whole country of Iceland! wow! and furthermore, USA, which people considered as the most up leading country in the world, is in fact, in a thrillion dolloar of debts which could save whole nation of Ethiopia children from hunger for at least one year! hehe....how about Malaysia? I do not have an idea to picture how's the economy crisis has affected routines life over there, but i can tell you about what is really happening over here in Ukraine.....
I had a visit to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine last friday till sunday....and was nothing much, but window shopping mostly.....so, i went from shop to shop, came out from shop instantly within 5 mins...which is the most disastrous shopping ever made by me in the history of Jing! clothes are minimum RM140 for a tee! and RM300 for a simple designed casual jacket! i was like huh! WTF..what am i gonna buy with all these tags labelled with shocking numbers! then i thought i should have spent more when i was in London 3 years ago! and i gave up, and sat on the bench alone on the street, while all my friends went to pay an anonymous visit to the embassy's house...and i had a copy of english newspaper, yeap, the only English newspaper in Ukraine, and only in Kiev, and publishing every tuesday only....so, i took my time, chill out, sitting on the bench, on a busy street, people walking around me, while i had my time, to read a little a bit about the current issue of Ukraine....ok, this goes really awkward....the first headlines was, Ukraine in deep crisis......in another word...Ukraine is in deep shit! hehe....well, i have to admit that i felt a great relieved to be honest knowning how grateful i am for the people over here! despite of the attitude that most Ukrainian has, i think they truly deserved it with no doubts! Euro football cup is going to host in Poland and Ukraine, but there is no improvement as seen in this countries...they do not have sufficient funds to build stadiums....no new airport, even the capital of Ukraine, the size of the airport is just like the Penang airport, or maybe smaller! constructions are withdrawing from locals due to poor funding from foreign investment and government surpports...well, hell yeah, they just joined the WTO, and i hope you read about the previous posts, which i do not remember when was it, but i kinda mentioned about it that foreign chains are pouring into the ukrainian markets which is good, but after a year and another, i can't really see improvements in this country....living in this country for almost 6, 7 years...it's still the same!!!! and inflation rate of this country is the 3rd highest in the world after Zimbawe!!! and highest in Europe! Pension of the elderly will be decreased 25 percents as i remembered, they still owning Russia millions of dollars for natural gasses, steel production decreased, few banks are declaring bankcruptcy....and their attitude towards it, is like, so what?!?!? they often have the perspective that Ukraine is the most wonderful place in the world, it's beautiful, no other countries are even better than theirs, their snobbish, ignorant attitude towards foreigners, you named it......everything is in a total mess and yet, they do not have the initiative to improve themselves beside being cocky of how pretty their girls are! Economy over here are going to fall to the deepest shit hole in the history of Europe in 30 days period after the election AGAIN in november, i can't remember how many election they already had in the past 3 years...4 perhaps? RM 1= 1.98UAH....which was 1.40 2 months ago...and USD1= 6.2UAH! it's like you can buy a hokkien mee with RM 2...and now, you can buy 3 hokkien mee with the same price you paid...NO!!!!! that's not the situation right now! you can't buy hokkien mee at all with RM 2 over here! it is RM 6 for a god damn hokkien mee over here! i am just giving an example, we don't have hokkien mee here.....Things are getting more and more expensive than you could imagine...the living cost in Ukraine is pretty higher than Malaysia at present....although the exchange rate giving a nice deal, but it doesn't make any differences.......when i was in the market today....saw a lot of people means really a long long QQQQQQ.....Queing up for the ATM machines, people wants their money back, and change it to a more stable currency USD or EURO......should i do the same too? i just tut tut last week...and mommy said, no money in the bank....ummm.....i can predicted that something going to be really wrong this cold bitter winter...should i tut tut, and buy loads of dry grains rice back and stored?...by the way....i still don have hot water supply till now, and it's gonna be Novemeber!!!! when i asked the housing administrator over here...she said, we are not going to have hot water that soon, or maybe none at all this year!!!! awwwww.....can you imagine how is the life over here?!? after 6 years of living in this deep shit, i am really piss off and piss off, again and again....economy of a country really do affect a person's life, normal routines are all out of shaped, everything just goes wrong and opposite.....i'm glad i am outta of this in 7 months time......
