We're in Kyiv, since Saturday; I've been having very sporadic internet access (courtesy of the Ukrtelekom assholes) and I'm currently on dialup (but hope things will get better on Thursday).

Kyiv is very nice now, but it won't be real spring until the girls start walking around half-naked.

Unlike in Moscow, they wash their fancy cars here. Amazing contrast.

Balzaka, with the emphasis on the last syllable - instead of Balzaka - is how a taxi dispatcher called Balzac Street during our ride from the train station.

  1. Ah, Ukrtelecom - .5% shares go on sale in May! London stock exchange. (Of course it is not possible but my dream is to purchase some and then drive the company nuts.)

  2. I just got around to viewing your pictures from Pushcha Vodytsya and Gorenka. Absolutely amazing. It is rare that you see pictures of an area that document the unique and interesting aspects of the ordinary, mundane routine of life.

    You should think about expanding on your documentation of laundry lines. Seriously, I found some of those shots to be the most interesting, such as one with the stuffed animals hung out to dry.

    Oh, and if you wanted, doing a photo essay on the signs of real spring in Kyiv would be cool too.
