LOL I will ...Oh boy, does that bring back memories! LOL I will never forget the first time I went to the Kiev train station and someone PUSHED me through the door! I guess they didn't shove me so hard I could fall down, but it was a shock to say the least. I couldn't believe how many people could fit through those doors or how many stairs a train station could have. LOL<BR/><BR/>We never experienced the bus rides. We just watched the buses going down the road filled to capacity with people standing. We just didn't know the bus routes, or we might have braved it;) But we did ride the marshrutka. Ours cost a whole greevna (20cents) We were the first ones on since the orphanage was pretty much the first stop. Then I watched in amazement while person after person piled on that van. We still had miles to walk since the marshrutka dropped us off downtown. We mostly took the taxi, but after finding out our guy that the facilitator set us up with kept hiking up his price, we started shopping around. It paid off!<BR/><BR/>We also would watched the waves of people get off the bus at Independence Square. If you weren't careful and walked too near, they could sweep you away!! :0<BR/><BR/>Juneadopting2fromUkrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112913922911428088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355190028417630847.post-33702377662105520682008-11-25T13:31:00.000-07:002008-11-25T13:31:00.000-07:00Laughing with tears!

I love hearing about the various modes of people moving. Miss you(s). We may get snow this weekend. Finally. You may want to e-mail Amy and have her water some of your shrubs on a day above freezing. It's been too dry and the snow won't be enough. Unless we get a foot!Rolan and Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111631189940133089noreply@blogger.com
