Election
Last night, the exit polls showed a victory by Yanukovich (50% to 45%) that seems to be confirmed this morning by the first counts.

Election Day
Today is the second round of the presidential elections.
It's sunny and cold.
The outcome is supposed to be very tight.
The looser is not expected to accept a loss, so the next days will be very interesting!
In the afternoon, the center feels deserted. The two main places, where the two camps have set up their camps (Michalska for Yanukovich and Sofievska for Timoshenko) are emptied, the stages and the tents are gone.
Strangely enough, the only thing that remains on Michalska square is the big screen with a live TV show on the election, shot from a pro-Yanukovich-decorated studio. Nothing on Sofievska square.
On Maidan, it is just cold. Not many people are out. The ice-rink sponsored by a coffee company functions normally.

Karneval am Dnjepr
Achmed and a Cowgirl on their way to the Karneval Party 
at the German embassy. 400 people, a packed dance floor, Leberkäse and Kartoffelsalat, beer and all that music you could also be hearing on the streets of Düsseldorf these days..... what a blast!
Location Check sequel
When this pot stands on your balcony and is filled with your own home-made borschtsch..... then you know you are in Kiev :-)
