Kiev

For anyone curious about Kiev, this website is worth checking out:

So, it's about a week before the flight and we're trying to pack...how does one pack for almost 2 months just in 2 suitcases (1 each), with one full of gifts...pressure's on...eeeks! We found out now that our appartment in Kiev is near the botanical gardens, as well as a couple other landmarks worth checking out. We also have been invited to celebrate Canada Day in the Canadian Embassy in Ukraine, so we're looking forward to that, hopefully all the jet leg is gone my then. By the way - did you know that Euro bills are all different sizes and colors!

Well, hopefully there's an internet cafe close to our appartment so we can post daily updates. We have also set up a hotmail account for anybody who would like to contact us privately: mattsylvia2008@live.ca
