There are a few things I have noticed about Kiev:
1. Christmas lights are up… still,
2. There are a lot of smokers,
3. Everywhere smells like smoke,
4. All the women wear fur,
5. It’s COLD,
6. They have good bread and REALLY good juice,
7. They have McDonald’s (YES!),
8. and the showers are extremely hot,
Just a few basic things.
The planes rides were eventful.. On the flight to Frankfurt, Ellen threw up. Thankfully I did NOT hear it but did notice Ellen holding an air sick bag. On that movie we had TV’s too! We watched “Love Happens”, “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” (that one showed while we were sleeping) and “He’s just not that into you”. On the flight to Kiev, Ellen threw up again, this time in the bathroom. Also on that flight I almost threw up. I have decided that I don’t like plane rides.
We got to our apartment alive (we had a very insane, very bumpy, and very alarming car ride to it) and settled. We have 2 bedrooms that hold Mom, Dad, and Ellen. Jess and I got the couch in the living room. But, we had to go to bed around 11:00 PM Ukraine time, 4:00 PM American. ( ) Since we were so tired, we got up around 11:00 AM, 4:00 AM and that was REALLY nice…
As of right now, Dad’s asking from the bathroom for a hairdryer (????), Mom’s reading “To Kill a Mocking Bird”, Ellen is reading some weird book, and Jess is checking crossword answers with Mom. I am, of course, blogging thought before I was reading “Gone with the Wind” (blah).
See you all later (in warmer weather, I hope)

ReplyDeleteMrs. Eyster: the fries here are really good. I don't think their better than the ones at home, but their similar. What probably also makes them great is that their familiar.
