Nightlife in Kiev

We ventured out this evening into the streets of Kiev. It was some of the most beautiful buildings, fountains and statues we have ever seen. We realize that we are not in little Moore Oklahoma anymore!! We managed to order ice cream from a street vendor and even said Chocolat and she knew what we were saying. There were people dancing on the streets for money and other weird things going like a freaky man dressed in Shrek costume who comes up to take a picture with you and then wants a lot of money to do so. Really weird!! It seems like that are alot of people here doing something or another to make an extra buck. The buildings around us were amazing but some of the people made it a bit uncomfortable. We tried to load some pics but they would not work.
