Unorthodox Ukraine Paris on a budget Sarah Morgan

Danni Ward negotiates the Cyrillic alphabet to find her way past austere concrete buildings and in to the heart of Kiev’s untouched grandeur. As I stepped off the Ukrainian national-filled plane into the basic Soviet airport in Kiev, I wondered what I had got myself into. I had longed to explore the ‘other Europe’ for years. I was intrigued by the Soviet culture that had struck paranoia into the guts of two generations. Kiev interested me in particular. It is the home of that delicious garlic butterfilled chicken dish which looks so normal on our supermarket shelves, yet I knew nothing about where it came from. So after a month of trawling through badly translated Russian websites I was here, trying to figure out how to get through customs. When my cab eventually pulled up to the Hotel Rus I was faced with the austere characteristics of Soviet architecture. It was a domineering concrete block, whose interior had not caught sight of a decorator since the 1980s. While I rested my fatigued body on the thin sponge bed I could feel my hope for an awe-inspiring adventure seeping away. But, with a drop of determination, I decided to

catch the metro into the city centre to prove myself wrong. As I slowly descended the 40-year old escalator I was stunned to find myself in the grandest station I had ever seen this far below the ground. It was a long hall with high arched ceilings reaching nearly 30 feet. The floor was made from huge slabs of marble and the walls were intricately tiled. I would find at my destination, Zoloti Vorota, that the arches were even adorned with grandiose chandeliers. I was paralysed by awe. I envisioned the excitement of these great halls being used as Soviet bunkers. I would discover there was a whole second city underground, filled with shops and restaurants, to help the residents deal with the cruel Ukrainian winter. I was brought back to reality when I realised that every single sign was written in Cyrillic script. I could barely pronounce the Russian place names, never mind figure out what they would look like written in Cyrillic. The sour-faced staff were little help, to say the least. I would encounter this problem time and time again in the Ukraine. The country was not set up for Western tourism. After staring at the platform sign for a good 15 minutes it dawned on me that some of the Cyrillic characters were the same as the Greek alphabet. Slowly but surely I was able to figure out that ʪ̦ŝ̨̪̬ meant Dnipro (the river running through the city), and I knew where I was headed. Perhaps the most famous sight in Kiev is the Caves Monastery, a series of colossal gold-adorned churches where Russian Orthodox pilgrims can pray over glass coffins containing the mummified bodies

of monks. Although these churches were dauntingly stunning, what was really fascinating here was the micro-miniatures exhibit. This was an art exhibition that could only be viewed through a microscope. The artist, Mykola Syadistry, wrote the world’s smallest book at 0.6mm² and crafted a golden chess set on the head of a pin, among many other breathtaking pieces. All the churches, palaces and government buildings that fill Kiev are utterly impressive in their grandeur, but the delicate diligence of these detailed works will continue to astound me. Nearby is the Museum of the Great Patriotic War (that’s the Second World War to you and me). As you might expect, the exterior of the museum was aggrandised by 50 foot statues of heroic Soviet soldiers going into battle. I had been looking forward to visiting this museum, to learn about the war from a different point of view. Alas, I would never know, for the entire museum, save for a couple of displays in German, was in Ukrainian. Once again my trip had faltered because I was a western tourist. As much as the language barrier made my trip difficult, it made it even more of an adventure. As English speakers, we are so used to everyone being able to speak our language. In Ukraine I really felt like I was in another world. The grandeur and the wealth of the capital city could easily be found in a western European city, but the culture and the language made it so excitingly foreign. Somehow I feel that the city would lose its mysterious thrill if it opened its appeal to all manner of English-speaking tourists.

Paris is a city that never fails to romance you. Whether you visit as a couple, already in love, or happily single, you will be unable to hide from its charm which radiates from each street corner.

Therefore, allowing the body to rest, cleanse and nourish will free up energy that can be used elsewhere to help burn fat, increase mental alertness and monitor hormones. Persuaded? We are!
