Kiev is a strangely wonderful place. I was glad I did not listen to the Russian propaganda which preached fear and distrust towards all things Ukrainian. My dollar went a long way in the nation's capital and I always felt relatively safe for being in a country at war. I am also American, so nothing new. Regan Budimir is one of the most conspicuous people to take around the busiest part of the city in an outfit like this, but I figured I came this far so what the hell? Stay crispy.
