There are three hot girls dancing on our table. …

Veronika is on stage for best costume! 😉

I just cannot keep up with the drinking in this culture of semi professional alcoholics.

I surrender. I cant make the team. 🙂

I can’t believe you were here and I didn’t catch it!!! Sigh.

Ukraine fashion any day, on the way to work in the morning. Friday night at the restaurants. Saturday night at the restaurants and clubs. Any sunny day on Khreshchatyk.

But you know, Sartorialist fashion is PROLE fashion, and Kiev fashion is ARISTOCRATIC. Not sure it’s a fit. (And our way, here in Kiev, is better, thanks. )

( Please to not invite me to games. It irritates the hell out of me. I play a game for a living: entrepreneurship. I play another one for fun: that game is politics. And I try to avoid the really addictive ones on the PC. I don’t need other games. OK? 🙂 )

Dear House and Garden.

I’m all in favor of the Small House trend. I really don’t understand the whole purpose of half empty mc-mansions. I mean, living in a 3500 square foot house is actually kind of frustrating. You must clean and maintain it.

So advocating small homes is a reasonable good idea- and we can always make them bigger – like everyone before us did for the past ten thousand years. But small lots are not a good idea. All they do is drive up the price of everything, encourage fences, and increase the wear and tear on infrastructure. Close neighbors are more likely to be unpleasant neighbors.

So while I understand it, this is one of those things that if you encourage something bad, you’re complicit in it. Below a quarter acre is a bad idea, and below a half acre is probably the minimum.
