from wikipedia:
Now in every city of Ukraine men can find a huge selection of different flowers, not just for March 8, but any time of year. Ukrainian vendors love the March 8, because men are hitting flowers markets this day and few days before. March 8 tradition says, men have to give some gifts, greeting cards and flowers to the women of their life (wives, girlfriends, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, women the co-workers, women the teachers in school, girls-classmates). But if it happened that Ukrainian man did not buy a gift to his woman (he cannot afford it or he is simply cheap), he SHOULD buy flowers, the tradition says. It is impossible to imagine the International Women’s Day in Ukraine without giving flowers to the women.
As March 8 it is a day off in Ukraine for women and for men as well, another tradition of this holiday says, that woman can sleep in that day and her man or men (a husband, a boyfriend, a sons) have to get up earlier and to make a breakfast to their dear woman or even festive dinner for March 8. Other words, Ukrainian men should cook for women this day. Knowing that most Ukrainian men hate to cook (for their opinion, cooking it is not a men’s job), it is a real challenge for them. After March 8 a kitchen at Ukrainian family usually looks like a big mess, but women are happy: at least their men tried...
This is just so true... I had really awesome day with my family.. Have got flowers and presents that was actually thinking that its quite good to be a girl.. This year we had Thursday and friday off becouse of 8 march..
And next day sister's conference started.. Had awesome weekend in new Conference Center in Oziorne.. It was my firs time in there.. Looks like they made awesome work there... Had sister's feast probably whole night, so feel so tired and sleepy now..
But here is some pictures..
