A few more random Kyiv pics, just to get myself distracted from the subject of the previous entry… Near Kyiv’s central train station A mailbox Wine, vodka, flowers, open 24 hours, 7 meters away “There is time for work. And time for love.” (Coco Chanel) “I Love You” This guy’s billboards are all over the [...]
Walked by Eric’s Bierstube at Ploshcha Tolstogo yesterday, was horrified by the Nazi stuff on the walls in the courtyard there: This last one most likely refers to a McDonald’s nearby – “Don’t eat shit.” Reminds me of St. Pete five years ago, but to be seeing it here hurts a lot more.
It’s not often that you see a Moskvich car in Kyiv nowadays. But in Brovary, I’ve seen two: And then there was also this:
Been to Brovary today, was pleasantly surprised by how little garbage I saw there. Also, tons of kids and tons of playgrounds, old and new, everywhere. I wouldn’t mind borrowing their mayor. I’ll post more pics later; for now, here’s my favorite, of the stuff hanging out to dry on someone’s balcony:
Saw this on the way from the dentist yesterday: “I eat here.” The name of the street is Klinichna. Yes, Clinical Street. Very close to the Institute of Sugar Beats bus stop.

Some of my favorite pictures from the trip: All photos are here. *** Marshrutka driver seemed like a very religious guy: *** Lots of [...]
We’ve had enough of Chernovetsky (this, more or less, is the meaning of the sticker above), but it looks like he’s just been re-elected. I voted for Klichko. Even though I’d heard enough about the evil people on his team to convince me that he’s no good, either, I figured that at least he’s got [...]
Also on Instytutska, the building that was supposed to be an extension for the National Fine Arts Museum: I may be wrong, but I think it’s been there in its present, unfinished, form since way back in the early 1990s. If they ever finish it, they’ll probably turn it into a business center, instead of [...]
This photo says tons about what Kyiv is like these days: A Ukrainian-language sign on Instytutska: Please don’t park your cars on the lawn. Added in handwriting: Why not?
