I'm Ken Johnson

I'm happily married to a Ukrainian woman whom I met while working abroad. To anyone who hasn't been and seen for themselves, Ukrainian women are startlingly pretty and they really do have traditional marital values which American women in general (I hope I am doing nobody an injustice) are trying to escape from.

I'm looking to retire to Ukraine and my wife and I are willing to help organise visits there.

Welcome Kenneth. Great name. It's my dad's name too. Congratulations on finding your wife there.

Where did you work abroad? And in what occupation?

Yes, I was lucky and got really close to a Ukrainian women here in the states. She was absolutely beautiful, IN SHAPE, and she was VERY smart.

You're not off the hook (yet). So what had happened with her?

I worked in Zoltie Vody, which is near Dniepropetrovsk, at Institut Strategia Predprinimatelstva (Management). Lots of girls in their late teens and early twenties and most of them would love to meet a westerner for marriage! Nadia was older, and worked as a lecturer. Very cute, too.[/img]

Ken. Do you have a web-site or blog.

Ha! I used to live nearby Zheltye Vody (translated: Yellow Waters) is a small town, as far as I know that smaller city had tons of manufacturing factories during Soviet times. Now those places are very poor, 5% of rich, about 20% of middle class and 75% of poor. However those "poor" girls look amazing and finding a guy who doesn't do drugs is already happiness to many of them, not even mentioning decent looks, education etc. So I bet Ken was treated better than Elvis! I wish I'd spend a few years like that

Any pictures, Ken? Did girls chase after you btw? What were the years you spent there?
