    The bandura (traditional Ukrainian folk instrument; 6th century) street players still exist :) And it'a amazing to see how they play and sing traditional Ukrainian songs!
    This particular one I saw next to St. Sophia Cathedral

    Beer rules
    Well if you might think that like Russians, Ukrainians love drinking vodka then you are totally wrong! I got the impression that beer is the absolute ruler in this country.
    Readily available from any kiosk, in different brand names (local and imported) and most of all cheap (1/2 liter bottles start from as little as 40 cents!!) it was a pleasure for me to taste every now and then when I was having a short stop while sightseeing!!
    My beloved ones were: Pszenicne and Bile (nefiltrovaniye)
    Cheers!!! Beer lovers from all over the world, this is THE place for you!
