We arrived in the Ukraine yesterday and have navigated the city fairly successfully. It's clear English is not the first, second, or third language... yet, American music (mostly from the 80's) plays in most public places.
Kiev is pretty cool. From the interesting architecture to the masses of women wearing high heels on cobblestone streets to the beautiful fall-like weather it's safe to say we've had a good start.
Ann's sister's sister-in-law is from Ukraine and lined us up with a very centrally located apartment for $65/night. Splitting that cost makes this trip quite reasonably priced. Also, a Big Mac value meal is $3. (And it tastes just like a Big Mac in the US... unlike in the UAE.)
Anyhow, we made it safe and all is well. In Nepal internet cafes were everywhere because they catered to tourists and most locals couldn't afford internet on their own. Here, this is the first internet cafe we've found. I will post updates when possible and I find more internet cafes.
