More photosJul 3, 2006

While I transcribe my analog notes, here are two new photo sets: marketing spotted in Ukraine, and an annotated collection of pretty buildings and statues, mostly for the terminally geeky.

I'm back, babyJul 2, 2006

Back from my trip and sorting through 338 photos. Check out my timeline, people I met, and a peek at Mikey's life in Ukraine. Much more to come.

Got a backlog of Ukraine stories to tell: beach holidays, attractive locals, extreme eating, Soviet-era monuments, befriending a kid without speaking his language, and the hell of mobile HTML editing.

Blogging live from Kharikov via GPRS, courtesy of my dad's bank office.

Ukraine, part 2Jun 28, 2006

River tours, churches, midnight swimming, and blackmail material collected. Now heading to Kharkov to see the real Ukraine beyond Kiev's glitz, then driving back through the countryside.

I'm in Kiev with Mikey and forgot to mention it before leaving. Soviet architecture, gold-domed churches, WWII-themed restaurants, NATO gossip on the plane, marble subway stations with chandeliers, and a Stalin theme park featuring a 200-foot stainless steel Motherland statue. Also: mullets are in. More photos than you can handle coming soon.
