So I went out in the intention of se a bit of Kiev night life. But I just walked around for a while sniffing in he atmosphere. My hotel is not far from downtown and I needed a walk after a six hour drive. As usual I park my bike in front of the hotel so that the people working at the door will notice anything strange

.

Kiev down town is very much like any other capital in Europe. You will find all kind of stores and any brand. All imported stuff is about the same price as in Sweden. The shops are open much longer though, on a Saturday evening until ten.

One thing that I liked was that they close down the main street for cars. So this very broad boulevard turn into a pedestrian street. And with that the whole scene changes. Lots of street artists and people everywhere. Sadly, I must say, they reopen the street again already at ten. But I kind of liked the method, with water spraying cleaning trucks. Believe me, everyone jumped up to the side.

I stopped and listened to some artists. There were two singing in Ukrainian (or Russian I can’t tell the difference). I made some movies from that, sadly in a very poor quality.
