Second impressions of Kiev: the Metro is stunning, which I was expecting, but hadnt seen in 2004. Its by far the deepest tube Ive ever had the pleasure to descend, and in multiple stations, each of which is ornately decorated. The escalator is as aggressive as one can be, though -- I wonder how many have died over the years on those escalators, which are fast. The Maidan is amazing, and quite something to compare to Gezi Park (which is actually somewhat smaller in scale). Thanks to Michele Alexander, I found a great place to find cheap Ukrainian food, and that guidebook she gave me led me to Baraban, which reminded me a little of Karakedi, but only a little.
