There is this really great park in Kyiv right by the river that has a bunch of places in Kyiv in miniature from. I was so excited to go! It was fun to see all of the places I've already been to and to get ideas for the places we haven't been to yet.
The best part about the trip is I looked up what metro to get off of and then I didn't know where to go from there so I asked my coordinator and she told me just to ask people when I got there. So we arrive and in my broken Russian well lets be honest with life it was mostly English I asked people where it was and BOOM we found it! :) No fear here!
On our walk to the park we had to go through this cat tunnel. I'm telling you Ukrainians love their cats and I'm gaining an obsession for cats. Well funny pictures of them not real cats.
