101 důvodů proč milovat KYJEV s vlastními komentáři

Na slovo Kyjev není díký mému poslání na tomto blogu těžké narazit. Určitě za upozornění stojí zde první článek, o cestě TAM, Dny první.
I proto mé srdce zaplesalo na článkem - 101 Reasons to Love Kiev, na který mě upozornil Krotik. 101 důvodů je pěkná fuška sepsat, ale je to kouzelné.

Vyzviduji a doplňuji odkazy od sebe:

5. Every car is a potential taxi. This is one of the most endearing things about Ukraine and other ex-soviet countries. Just hold you hand out and soon-enough someone will stop to give you a lift. Negotiate your price and you're off.

67. Glamour. Kiev is a glamourous city and the Kievians love to be glamourous

94. You can park and drive ANYWHERE. Roads are for cars and pavements are for cars in Kiev. ( No a co děti, mají si kde hrát? a Běžná ulice Kyjeva)

2. You are never more than 100 meters from a bank. In fact, if stand anywhere in Kiev and spin 360 degrees you'll probably see at least three. (Jsem bankovní expert)

97. People will smuggle you into places. This has happened to me in the Circus, on the train and at the theater.

43. Discount Cards or 'cartushkas'. I keep losing mine, but discount schemes are super-popular here. Karty karty kartičky, aneb kolik karet máš, kolikrát si Ukrajincem

56. Podil District. This is the heart of the old-town and a center of trade and commerce. It's beautiful, diverse and charming ...in an 'old and falling down' kinda way.

53. White shoes and beige trousers. You'd be laughed at in England, but here you'll be cool. (dnes už to nevidím tak drsně, ale dříve Ukrajincem anebo jak splynout s davem a malý opak - Jedině fajfka nebo proužek )

82. Kievians never miss a chance to pose. Give them a flower, a tree, some autumn leaves or a sports car and they will pose for pictures like a 1980s model.

84. People still carry multiple mobile phones and have multiple SIM cards because its cheaper to call that way. I used to do this at Uni and now, 10 years later - I'm doing it again :-)

37. Beaches. How many large European capital cities are covered in large sandy beaches? The answer is: not many. But Kiev is and they're a BBQ and Sunbathing heaven. (Hidropark - tenkrát poprvé)

10. Babushkas (grandmas) and the fact that it is both friendly and respectful to call all old women 'Babushka' (Kuře z metra)

A moje vlastní úlovky? Co takhle se nechat zvážit na ulici? Jak s valutou? Přece Dolary, Bony a klid nebo dokonce věčné lehce vděčné téma - Jak na Ukrajině funguje notář?
