"It is important to be mindful of cultural differences when visiting Kiev. It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, and to dress modestly. Avoid making negative comments about the country or its people, and be aware that public displays of affection are generally frowned upon. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to be respectful when speaking to locals. It is also important to be aware of the local currency and to be mindful of tipping etiquette," commented one expat who made the move to Kiev, Ukraine.
