Lika and me met in Donetsk in autumn 2008. We travelled to Poland, Germany, Czech Rep, and Austria for New Years and then to Egypt in March! I have made 7 trips total to Ukraine and of course I vacationed in Russia before. We now await K1 visa for marriage in USA. If any other K1'ers are in Eastern US, we welcome chat or other communication with you. I am sure Lika will need Russian friends to talk to. We communicate by Skype everyday and I understand Russian, but we both enjoy meeting new people.
