back to Trip 2002 main

Hugging Kir Khoroshilov, Mr. press-secretary of UkrTransNafta, upon arrival at Borispol Airport.
"Ok, here is the place... Did I mention that you will be sleeping on the balcony?"
Even press-secretaries need to it.
Vika, Kir, and a friend from Moscow.
Central Kiev.
"I bet you don't have anything like that in your Philadelphia."
More central Kiev.
The balcony in Kir's apartment.
More of the balcony: "Hey, check out the view."
Hmmm, this is pretty comfortable.
Welcome to the underground shopping mall!
Kir, I, and the bustling Ukrainian economy.
Kir and Vika.
Can't help but get my picture taken in front of the local Baskin Robbins.
Some Ukrainian brew.
