Around the World in 80 Days 6th Stop - Ukraine A ten hour long flight is enough to exhaust most travelers but when Xiao Ai (Absen Globetrotter) landed in Kyiv Boryspil Airport, the warm sunshine, brilliant blue skies and lush greenery rejuvenated her instantly. It was easy to feel overwhelmed with the prospect of all the excitement that lay ahead. The capital of Ukraine, Kiev (Kyiv in Ukrainian) has a splendid historical background, brimming with legends, stories and traditions. Legend says that in 482 A.D, the city was built on the bank of Dnieper River by three brothers Kie, Shchek, Khoriv and their beautiful sister Lebid. The city got its name from their strong and brave elder brother King Kie, and the monument in the picture pays homage to these founders. szabsen/80day/Ukraine.html
