Kiev: Another "New" Prague

kiev

Reading about parts of Eastern Europe these days it seems every rundown old town that was once under communism is now the "new Prague". I celebrated Slovakia as such just recently (bit I have a couple of good friends from the region, and they assured me it was a great place…so there). And now, from the land of breaded chicken (yummy), comes word that the new Prague is really to be found in the Ukraine. Ah yes. Kiev is the new Prague.

Well, any way you slice your chicken Kiev, the fact of the matter is, the growing interest in these places is great news for them and the world. Despite the "Americanization" of places like Prague, it is still far better to have them become modern and open to the world than the closed-off Commie backwaters that they have been. So check out the article on Kiev, and see if it might be worth a trip.
