Kiev, Ukraine: Is it really a 'charming' city, like the Associated Press says? {Gadling}
Apr 25th 2008 7:29AM Wow Jeffery. Nice reply to the AP article. I thought they were talking about some secret Kiev (Kyiv) they built somewhere else.
Anyway. I think your Blog took it too far in a different direction. I didn't recognize the Kiev (Kyiv) you wrote about either. I have only one comment regarding that and that is your "surly shopkeepers" comment. I don't know if you had bad luck or you just don't travel well, but I have never had that problem in Kiev (Kyiv) .
I've been coming here since 1999 and I've been living here since 2002. Overall, I would say it can be a very pleasant place to live.
But here is the bottom line for tourists. (I hope this saves someone some valuable vacation time.)
In my humble opinion, Kiev (Kyiv) is not a tourist destination.
Come for family, come for friends, come for work...but don't come as a casual tourist.
Lastly, it's Kyiv not Kiev.
