Kiev had a different atmosphere to Lviv altogether. It was our final destination, and as the capital of Ukraine it was bigger, more modern, and more happening. We also arrived feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep in a first class sleeper carriage, which made a huge difference!

G'day! I'm Clayton, and I'm a South African born New Zealander living in London. Since this is mildly headache-inducing and I don't really belong anywhere, I prefer to consider myself a "Citizen of the World". Thanks to my entrepreneurial globe-trotting parents, I've travelled for as long as I can remember - starting with Hong Kong at age 5.

Why Chernobyl?
Well, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Kiev and Chernobyl, But personally I don't understand what makes foreign people go to see Chernobyl :). There are also beautiful places to see in Ukraine, like Crimea. Ukrainian rarely chose Chernobyl as a a sigthseeing for some reason

Good question
I'd say there's a few reasons. Curiosity is one - The whole world has heard about Chernobyl, and we want to see the place where it all happened! It's probably a similar incentive to why we go to see places of significance to World War 2, only more recent. There's also an element of danger, not to mention a barely touched ghost-town! But I hear what you're saying, and I did love the other places I went to in Ukraine - it's well worth the visit all round. :)
