I am waiting to hear back to see if I'll get to the Oral Assesment for the Foreign Service - and appreciate you blog for a peek into the FSO life.<br />I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine (2004-2006). If Vesuvius Pizza is still open I highly recommend them - it was as close to American pizza as I ever had there.<br />There is also a great Indian restaurant on Kreshatik at the intersection of Boghdan Khmelnytskoho.<br />Enjoy your time in Ukraine!Frodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190960940133917221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-38491127057349973622008-10-27T23:24:00.000+03:002008-10-27T23:24:00.000+03:00oh YAY for finding a good babysitter!

I spent a semester in Florence, and by the end, I just really wanted some home cooking, and our rooms had no kitchen. A toaster oven and microwave can be useful, but just not the same.Ambulance Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602860084060880271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-83610698887277121812008-10-26T22:24:00.000+03:002008-10-26T22:24:00.000+03:00You've got me laughing about your pizza experience...You've got me laughing about your pizza experiences. They've got Pizza Hut here in Istanbul but after a couple of times I've lost hope that it will ever measure up to American standards. I don't think my husband will ever give up hope. Plus the porklessness of it all is very disheartening.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824159954674170093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-9147619762690803842008-10-26T08:41:00.000+03:002008-10-26T08:41:00.000+03:00I just wanted to add, without making a big update ...I just wanted to add, without making a big update to this post, that there are actually many, many interesting restaurants in Kyiv. We plan on giving at least a few of them a try once we are more settled. And have found a good babysitter. So I'll keep you posted on the culinary landscape as we try some of the places that are true Ukrainian rather than Trying To Be American.Code Yellow Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283426654179102400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-6048334018189215192008-10-25T12:33:00.000+04:002008-10-25T12:33:00.000+04:00Although we all came through TGI Fridays with our ...Although we all came through TGI Fridays with our intestines intact, in the future they shouldn't sit the Americans where can see in to the kitchen.
