Ok, it’s a grey, wet Monday morning and we’re in Kiev, on a short trip away from Voronezh. Although the weather’s a bit rubbish the city is still amazingly beautiful and our hostel is right in the city centre. However, the hostel owner is from Norway and seriously anti Russian, and by default pro NATO and EU.
The Protest
Anyway, this morning we went for a short walk and by chance we went past the Polish Embassy and there was a small protest. An old lady was there giving out bags and we got one thinking it was nothing, but then we looked closer… Inside was a lighter, a fridge magnet, a city map and a metro map, plastered with the slogan ‘Nato, go home!’ When we got back to the hostel the owner showed his political side again with the remark ‘Communist motherf***ers.’
Nato...
So that’s Kiev so far. Cool, huh?

Cool? That depends on how good the lighter is

It was cool. And the city is amazing.
