The hotel [in Kiev] checked us in very quickly. Unlike the one in Moscow,
the door guard smiled, did not check our passes and did not wear a gun.
The hotel serves excellent country food for lunch, including dumpling
soup, pork and homemade ice cream. The waitress is friendly. Going from
Moscow to Kiev is like going from New York to Texas.
