breaking the ice

I was in Kyiv last week. I have to admit I was surprised and did not expect such a beautiful city. It was an amazing mix between nostalgic Stalin Baroque and misty moods narrow cobblestone streets full with arts and craft – both, folkloristic and modern, of Russian and Ukraine orthodox churches and of global fast food chains. I have to admit orthodox churches fascinate me the most; they are so colourful, lots of towers with onion domes and spires. I had a lot of luck because of my good hosts and because of the melancholy of the autumn days in the wide alleys of the town. I will definitely go back there and see more of the country. I am very dedicated to see Lviv and Odessa very soon, and we all know, Odessa is just around the corner to Bucharest.
