Odessa is paradise on earth. I luckily was able to spend 3 weeks for three summers there from 2009 to 2011. What a beautiful place. Sad what it’s become.

Odessa is OK, but I'd hardly call it "paradise", unless maybe compared to Kabul. What I remember is that sidewalks were made with so many types of interesting bricks that I began taking pictures of them. The harbor was OK, but the massive Soviet-style steps were cultureless. I was there in November, so it's certainly much nicer in the summer...

When the war started, a pastor I had visited lost half his people when he stayed pro-Ukrainian.
