Favorite thing:
This is supposed to be your 'Favorite Memory' tip of Kiev. This is my most vivid memory I will give you that. Not a fond memory - a vivid one. I was here quite a few years ago. So the picture isn't that great. I had been walking towards the Peoples Friendship Arch and watching Bridal parties taking turns to take pictures with each other and the beautiful skyline of Kiev. As I came closer I looked off to the left and saw him.

Crazy Pigeon Man!

The stupid bastard was covered in Pigeons and asking people to take his photo. Of course he wanted money as well.

Its been a few years since this guy had the avian version of rats and the unfathomable need to encourage airborne turds landing on him and paying patrons with cameras nearby.

Let us look at the cold, hard, facts:

Three human diseases are known to be associated with pigeon droppings: Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis, and Psittacosis.

Are they fatal? I hope so. That and the passage of time should have hopefully seen this guy off. Imagine this rodents pooing all over a nearby Bridal party on their Wedding Day !!!!

Favorite thing: James F.Coughlin,
a Canadian historian,
wrote some nice words about the Ukrainians.
I liked his words and can say they are true.
This is what he wrote:
As colonizers in different parts of the world, the Ukrainians are showing their desirable qualities. They readily take to their new lands, ever improving and extending, and try to maintain a peaceful attitude and a high standard with all other nationalities. They possess strong and robust physiques, which adapt them to any geographical location. They are also gifted with large families and a patriotic fervor, which ensure the perpetuation of their race, ideals and culture.
