Teaching By Day Exploring By Night

 You can count on every blog post while I'm here to tell you that I love Ukraine. But seriously, I'm sure they will all say it at some point. But that's okay but it's so true. There are so many cool places to see in this city.

The Friendship Arch

   

This is just one of the many places that I've discovered here in Kiev and love to go to. It's called the friendship arch. The name fits it though because it really is a great place to go with friends. Whenever we go they are always playing some bumpin' music and have some rides going on. Not to mention there is an amazing view of the city. 

Which is even better to look at while being spun in circles.

I've discovered the joys of European carnival rides. 

Maybe I'm crazy but they just seem faster and more fun. One thing I know for sure is the workers think it's funny to mess with american girls. 

Kennedy and I were on the ride screaming our heads off when we get stopped at the top to switch directions. Well the men look at us and start wiggling it back and forth while snickering and whispering to each other in Russian. Not like they have to whisper though, I wouldn't understand what they were saying anyways!

 But we let them have their fun and continued to scream until they finally released us before we puked.

So basically I love Ukraine, the Friendship Arch, Exploring and the Carnival Rides.
