Ukraine... it's just a little bit different.

A few weeks ago I rediscovered a little Russian market that has since become my favorite place to shop. Verenokee, napoleon, smetana, tons of cheeses, and pear juice! Basically, the best things in life can all be found in this tiny little shop. I've been reminded of just a few of the many reasons I love all things Ukrainian, completely and insanely weird or not.

Fashion is always a little... interesting.

You don't need any type of plan or agenda for a night out. People just walk around until they run out of things to talk about, then walk back home.

Pigs beg for milk money.
(see right for example)


EVERYONE eats ice cream. Even adults eat ice cream as they wander through parks.

People sell things on the street from backpacks, suitcoats, and suitcases.


There are chandeliers in the metro.

People working don't really have to work much.


And transportation? There's a little bit of everything.

Cool! You'll have to take me sometime (to the market). Pear juice sounds YUM!
