I guess last but not least, we bought a car this week. It is a Russian made car called a VAS or Lada. It is a 1.5l, 5 speed, carbureted sled! We don’t need it to get around Kyiv, but if we want to take Meeshka anywhere we need it and also to travel to Lyala’s mom’s house about 110k away. So I guess we should say that we bought Meeshka a car. All the imports are sooo expensive here. There is about a 50%(just guessing) import tax. I saw a 2003 VW golf IV completely wrecked selling for $7000. Lets compare imports, a 2003 Honda accord coupe 3.0 is $39,500. Yes that is in US dollars.

Later, for now.
