Typical sidewalk in Kyiv

It's a disaster area walking around Kyiv! I know I wrote earlier about the falling icicles and how it was hard to walk on sidewalks here. I forgot to mention that, in addition to the icicles, most of the sidewalks in Kyiv are torn up or have some major roadblocks which impede traffic. One of my first days here I got honked at because I was walking in the street, but I was walking in the street because there was a row of cars parked on the sidewalk leaving no room for pedestrians -- talk about irony!
