Jeff, remember him from the old blog? He’s had a baby. Well actually, Inna the Ukranian wife did all the having, he’s just doing the talking and providing the citizenship.

Part of the process involves scanning the birth certificate. Like all Ukranian certificates it is very impressive. That need not interest us though. scroll down the image and check out the little tyke’s serial number

I can’t quite remember where we got this from but it’s a good indication of the state of international food in Kyiv.

Most restaurants feature a mix of “European International and Japanese” which means “Ukranian and Sushi”. This place really tries to get some authentic food though. I bet all you brits are looking forward to “Beefsteak with Porridge” for Sunday Monday lunch eh? Still, bear a thought for the Greek who’s national dish has been reinterpreted as “Baked Beans” Roll on Tuesday.

Another year, another blog.

We decided to ditch the old blog and didn’t get round to setting up its replacement until now. Hope you like it.

We’ve moved to a new blog because the readership had got pretty bored, specifically it included a lot of people at my office who don’t actually know I’m moving to the US yet. Oh yeah, that’s the reason behind all the San Francisco references. The point of this blog is to document the next stage in out journey. Our time in the snowy wastes is nearly over and we’re off to sunnier climes.
