Kiev, Ukraine

A few days in Kiev, Ukraine, for a promotional event about "Study at Seneca" attended by the Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine. Arrived yesterday and went for a walk through the "older" part of this city with about 7 million people. Good coffee available as nowadays pretty much everywhere in this very globalized world.....


In June 2014 around this square were protests during a few months to keep the democratization of the country going which resulted in a change of government (making sure that reforms started after the "orange revolution" of 2004 were being continued). Fascinating political developments....
And of course the North American hamburger made its way here as well. Lots of amazing traditional dishes remain though. Also beautiful parks and views + traditional orthodox churches....




Also many street musicians. These two fellows play traditional guitar/harps (forgive me for forgetting the correct names of the instruments - blame the jet lag....)
