I haven't mentioned anything that happened during March (basically the 7 weekends since Bila Tserkva) and that's because I've generally been a little busy with some private business on Saturdays, which has stopped me doing much interesting stuff. Nevertheless, I'll give you a handful of pics to gawp at.
Walking down Prospekt Peremohy, there is a bridge going over the road, next to Mamamia Pizza and near McDonald's. On the sides of the bridge are yet another reminder that you're in a country that was once very different.
This view of Andriivsky Uzviz from above is not great because of the ugly springtime trees in the way, but it could potentially be a good view. Incidentally, Andriivsky Uzviz is the old cobbled street full of stalls selling crap to tourists, and is the place where you can find the church I took a picture of way back on my first day here (go back to September to see the pic in question).
This is in Kontraktova Ploscha, a statue of the clumsily-named Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny (or 'Pete' to his mates). See? Not just a guy on a horse, I actually looked this up now.
A lovely sunset view from the bridge at Poshtova Ploscha that goes over the road, with McDonald's next door (notice the company slogan in the bottom right). The church in the background is, I believe, the Saint Andrew's Church, the one I mentioned earlier (and took a pic of way back when).
And finally, one of Kyiv's crowning architectural achievements, on a bus stop ad board. Quite why the top appears to be glowing is anyone's guess.
