Great mix of photos. Thanks for sharing!

Great thread, reminds me a bit of Tbilisi in a couple of the pics. Just the vibe of the people and the funky bathroom lol. Were you staying in that place?
|
awesome!! thats one of my favorite sets in long while. whats the story behind the sh!tty looking bathtub? i like the look on the girl leaning up against the helicopter like "it will never fly.....safely......" and how about the dude on the park bench with the liquor? is he selling shots??
|
Awesome.
|
Nice pics!

I love it. Such a bizarre set. The photo thread equivalent of a Philip Glass piece.

The bathtub basically was not cleaned for over 1 year. It's someone's apartment who is not well in the head, so no, normal people don't live with 1" worth of mold over there. The girl is a student from National Aviation Institute, and that is the airplane hanger there! The dude is my friend Yura. We drank all of this stuff, it's mostly beer and liquor. The cost of it all is about $20 |

I had a few passerby's do it. Simply because they are not used to seeing things like this. It's really easy to feel wealthy just because everyone is so poor. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps59a7973d.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps54836b74.jpg Total cost: $2. And chips over there are made with sunflower oil, not corn oil. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps0051ba9b.jpg ANYTHING having to do with US has a large US flag accompanying it. Basically the mentality of Ukrainians is USA = exotic, wealth, freedom.. Not surprising really. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps5fbdfe93.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...psa25c79bc.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...psdfd419a6.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps45b688d4.jpg "Here we understand you" is turned into "Here we undress you" by crossing out some letters! I would not object! http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...psbdf01ee0.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps7f09b65a.jpg This meal costs about $7. Not including liter-beer that is being brought over. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps4b0208f1.jpg soviet key |

A fascinating candid look at Kiev. The colourful older parts are a nice surprise.
What's with the filthy bathtub, they don't clean over there? Edit: I read your answer above. |
Excellent thread and I love your commentary it really helps put the pictures in context.....

They must not sell Scrubbing Bubbles in the Ukraine.....:uhh: lol Great thread! |
Interesting mix, of an unknown place and its people. What got me was the cars and the adverage pay of $200 a month. We in the US are blessed, and to think of all the money spent here on vice and bottled water..:???::shrug::(
