Мой любимый американец съездил в Киев!

On my first amble about the city, I was completely surprised by how attractive it is. Conglomerations of gilded onion domes sparkle in the summer sunshine, while large, leafy parks provide shade and respite. The city seems to be what Moscow would look like, if it weren’t so damned ugly...

а вот хит сезона, там же:

Not far away, the Rodina Mat is, quite possibly, the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. ( ... ) Only in the former Soviet Union would they build a thirty-two meter tall steel woman just for the hell of it. In my opinion, the Rodina Mat would be an excellent gay icon. She’s enormous, she’s ferocious, and she’s MADE OF STEEL. I picture them dressing her in giant, thirty-two meter tall drag and ringing around the base of the statue, singing crude new lyrics to the tune of old Soviet anthems. Yes, the scene would be delightful because it would be just SO DAMN OUTLANDISH. Which, for a city that boasts a thirty-two meter tall steel woman, is absolutely perfect.
