Tuesday, May 27, = = (Gomel City - Maps)

E 'del'apnea the day of travel, my secret fear is misplaced, the so-called danger of contamination on the way to go is well defined and is small enough to have care and attention that everyone can tell you, also the way to go is quite distant from those places unhealthy.
The weather, fortunately, apart from the usual morning haze, it peannuncia beautiful. The road has a good road, the traffic is not excessive, I think half an hour of being on the border.

= 20 km border with Ukraine
I lose two hours for help with, to enter into a different world economically and turbulent, given the political situation not yet stabilized.

E 'a modern city, there is great excitement throughout the metropolitan area, people walking shipped, the traffic is intense with cars and trucks of all types and Suv large displacement that sfrecciano fast roads in large power plants.
The cost of living is expensive as that of our great city, the elegance in the dress of passers has many faces, peasant old with veil on her head, the beautiful girl...




conscious of its beauty, which staggers all'ubriaco or sleeping on the pavement , elegant man in his double-breasted blue color night, the garbage that is committed to remove the last remnants of mud left from winter just past, the worker who downloads a forgone loading barrel of beer, the waiter who serves fast the patrons at the tables outside the coffee, the little child who arranca held by the hand by his mother, trying to keep his pace, three girls laughing for the appreciation of the gallant boys the same age ... ... It is really the month of May Spring Festival, the city is an explosion of flowers and colors.
This is a fantastic city, those who visit and look for strong emotions, of all types is the most you can find.
During the day full of outdoor cafes, markets more or less large, spacious lawns and gardens and clean, works of art not to finish, so golden spire.
The night reserve rooms for every taste: Disco for all ages, Night for those who have money to throw, for the Super Casino Game, Pub For more or less romantic, Coffee with orchestras of popular music, massage halls open 24 hours at 24 theaters of various kinds, from the Ballet Works, the performances of comedies.
Some of these rooms are open from early afternoon, in the meantime the people of all ages, apparently smiling and serene, enjoying the spring, both day and night, filling the lungs with air fresh and clean walking along the river Dnepr.
Wanted un'ufficio tourist, having well in mind what I want.
I like to find accommodation for the days that will stay in Kiev, which gives me full freedom of movement.
I'm being offered an apartment at the Maidan Square area is full of fun night, so in addition to the usual visits to cultural sites, I could fully enjoy the scent of night-breaking. "
The apartment overlooks the square and if I sincerely wish to rest my ears I would have completely the wrong choice. E 'already late afternoon, I am hungry. I go to a pub, where I offer a menu based on: appetizer cucumber, cheese, a salad of crab flesh, immediately after "the borshch" beet soup, "the Solyanka" fragrant meat or fish soup, main dishes based on pork or chicken stew with potatoes and vegetables, fish dishes, trout and carp, in short, a truly excellent cuisine, both as a quantity as quality.

Eat penalty to be done, a look that fasting for a week.
A belly full, I head for a large street full of neon lights, a journey for a while, trying to digest what I swallow and after a coffee and a digestive herb amarissime is high time that I throw in Kiev Night.
The sound comes down the street, I find myself in front of a nightclub, where I see other girls enter the follow closely to see what kind of local.
E 'beautifully furnished, modern music and sound track is full of girls, from the mouth to remain open to a latin lover nostrano. I love the sight of heaven, men there are very few other foreigners, among them known now a handful of Italians who smile so ebete at the sight of those beautiful women, some with exterior walls of middle-men, dressed like boss in suits and ties, which does not inspire me any confidence, around the room I recognize the typical attitude of Ukrainian children, who along with other girls, drink merrily keeping close hand in their bottle.
All you're doing nicely, even defiladed because there are a couple of Ukrainian giants, I think it is better not to make nervous.

But the day was long and stressful, I must soon return to my residence, I will know tomorrow other night, tiredness permitting.
