You can chose what to print on the back of the calendar. So far are available 2 alternatives:

The first one is minded for frequent travelers.
It offers the timetable of the polit buses (Borispol – Kiev) and the contacts of the hotels close to the Boryspil airport.

The second one is a simple dictionary (Days of the week, Seasons and Months).

Notes

You should be able to print the calendar with the wanted back side simply by choosing the pages to print (es. 1 and 3 for the dictionary) then by selecting, if available, the option “automatic duplex printing” for the automatic front rear printing.

If your printer doesn’t support such the automatic duplex, then try to print just the first page and then reuse the same page for to print the rear.
