I love to travel, especially in my native land. Forests, meadows, fortresses, castles, cities… one picture replaces another… what a beautiful country ours is, and the people here are good and sometimes honest. You ask why “in some places”, I answer - in the city of Kamianets-Podilsky people live who have forgotten about the meaning of the word honesty!
Disturbance
In the very center of the city, right in its heart, the pizzeria "New-York Street Pizza" (New-York Street Pizza) has been flourishing for several years (Address: Kamenetz-Podolsky, Dominikanskaya St. , 2-b - as anti-advertising) . The peculiarity of this institution is not in the democratic nature of its prices and the abundance of dishes, but in the services of waiters and the toilet. The motto is impudence, rudeness and permissiveness. Throwing a plate of food is within the bounds of permissibility. But, if you ordered a beer, be prepared for the fact that you may be waiting for a "surprise" - in the form of a closed toilet. I note that beer costs in this, probably, once popular institution, not 5 hryvnias or even 10, but more expensive, and for that kind of money you want to get proper service. But that's not all....if, according to the same waiters, you have VIP status, then you will be taken to some kind of secret toilet. How to get this status, think in advance, I say right away, an order for 250 hryvnia does not give this status, and I won’t tell you on what principles it is distributed, simply because I don’t know. As you understand from my story, I did not become a VIP in this institution.

Disappointment
This is not my first time in Kamenets…. There is charm in this city, a spirit of romance and a desire to return and see something new, something that last time escaped attention. I stay, again according to tradition, in a rather calm hotel "Gala-hotel" (Lesi Ukrainky St. , 84 - on the rights of anti-advertising). But calm and good, as I advised friends, this hotel was a year ago. Now, after this hotel has become on its feet and has taken a strong place in the hotel business of the city, it has changed. When booking a Suite room, be prepared for broken washbasins, extraneous hair in the bathroom, and the fact that for your own money you will have to take out the trash yourself. Noise isolation in the new building, in my opinion, is absent at all. Although, really, why take out the trash and clean the room if you rented it for two nights, really, why, the administration thinks ? ! Our people are calm, kind, they will definitely not say anything and be indignant, but, excuse me, dear hotel administration, “everything and everything is not hawala”.
Hope
But there is something in this city that has not changed - a quiet, small cafe "Korsar" (Address Tatarska street, 17 - as an advertisement). This is a wonderful place on one of the streets of the old city, where the food is tasty and very inexpensive, and the toilet, although small, but working. How I want to go back and catch myself thinking... everything is as usual, it has become even better)))
