Olympics Mishka is still there, greeting the visitors of the UEFA Euro 2012 cup in modern Ukraine.
That’s why I like going back home once or twice a year - the change is so visible - and they still don’t throw anything away, they just pile up new stuff on!
Enjoy!

Ukrainian Food Culture:  Ceremony of Eating
A lot of people associate our country of Ukraine with Soviet Times and empty supermarkets shelves.  All true, in 1986.  But you see, dear visitor, we did not shop at supermarkets.  Our culture is the food of nature and mother earth.
We know our flavours and if you ask anybody in the old Soviet Block of what is now 16 countries, where would they like to eat - they all pick Ukraine.
“Moscow with Money” come to Kiev or Crimea for weekends - to eat and enjoy themselves.  Get spoiled.
Well, dear visitor, if you made so far and are in Ukraine - eat, enjoy and get spoiled!

Your ideal picnic place is Botanical Gardens.

The best way to enjoy Ukraine is outdoors, in the nature.  And in the cities, where football matches take place, there are Botanical Gardens, mostly free or with a small surcharge.
