About A week in Lviv, 2010 with guest star Hong Kong
The official story: It’s cold, hard and ugly. You’ll find nothing but poverty and dirt. People are hostile to visitors and you will have a very bad time. Stay away! Any good things you’ve heard are completely wrong. Do not come here.
We want you to stay away because we want it to be just like this when we come to visit again.
Terrible things happen to foreigners here practically every day. You’ll be unable to communicate with anyone, you’ll probably get sick, and you’ll be miserable. Stay away!
We don’t want the same thing to happen to Lviv that happened to Prague and Krakow. We don’t want the hordes of tourists and inflated prices.
