Have business in Eastern Europe and that observation is very true! Very often the team jokes about that.

Sergio, you really need to come up here and translate for me! Kiev is just beautiful so far. I can't manage my trip to Chernobyl on short notice, apparently the Ministry of Defense has to approve it. That's OK, though, it means I will just see sites 10 times as beautiful, and of course, meet Mila Kunis type girls, or even ones more attractive on the way. I was looking forward to the tour, I thought it may prevent cancer in my old age. A friend went some time ago, and said his balls did not glow after the tour, but one did wink at him.....

Can you recommend a high end place to check out while I'm here?

Wish you were up here!

You have to decide and make choice between:

1. churches'n'monuments
2. high end appliance (if I catch u right: high end place)
3. girls

next time u will spend all ur vacation at Ukraine. I guess...

if u need some places with hi-end appliance I may tell something, but I am not sure they will work till 10th of May.

The Chernobyl Museum was quite good, and I am happy with the information I got there, which just may be better.

I went to 4 churches and the Patriotic War Museum today. I could not be more impressed. The old city, where I am staying is just lovely; and yes, my next trip here will be at least two weeks with a visit to Odessa. Had I known this, I would not have scheduled Minsk, but I am certain I will like it, too.'

I am not kidding about the girls. They are everywhere; with dudes fatter and uglier than me. I must stand a chance here!!!
