Goodbye (1997) 

Organising a graceful departure 

KYIV DESTINATION: Boryspil Departures Lounge

All good things come to an end. 
So here is some information about the departure hall of Boryspil Airport http://www.visitkievukraine.com/businesses/borispol-airport/.
Try to get there two hours in advance. Ukrainians are even better queuers than the British, and like to arrive early to check in.
If you are early there is a new restaurant in the checking in area with a very comprehensive menu.
Once into the departure lounge you come to an international duty free area. Aside from Ukrainian vodka, there's not a great range of Ukrainian goods, so don't leave anything to chance. If you see something in town that you like - buy it there.
There are four eating options:
The Sprito di Italiano is a restaurant that does what it says on the tin.
Another restaurant on the other side of the departure lounge is called Gourmet Kitchen and Bar.

Both restaurants have waiter service.
As does the Voyage Bar which provides Ukrainian food and coffees. This is currently undergoing complete renovation in time for Eurovision.
At either end of the departure lounge is Fly Coffee, which has sandwiches, salads, and hot and cold drinks.
Bon Voyage!

Addicted to You (2002)  Ukrainian Pie   KYIV DESTINATION: Pie shops If you stand by St Sophia's cathedral in the upper city, you will notice a pink tower in a nearby street.  This is the 19th century fire station watch tower. Diagonally opposite the forestation is a restaurant called Штолле - or Stolle  http://stolle.com.ua/en/ .   This chain specialises in Ukrainian pies (Pirog). Pie is a very complex affair in Ukraine with a variety of vegetarian, meat, fish and fruit centres. Pie is a meal in itself. The fillings combine vegetables and meat and flavours. Examples include Cowberry pie, Rabbit and Mushrooms Pie, Herring Pie, Cherry Pie and Brocilli Pie, among others. Each pie is enormous and can feed a large family. In Stolle you can buy slices or a whole pie to eat in or take away. The store / restaurant is currently undergoing refurbishment ready for Eurovision! If you prefer something smaller than a Pirog, then you can try little pies, or Pi

Believe'n'Peace (1999)  Maltese Connections  EUROVISION COUNTRY: Malta KYIV DESTINATIONS: Maltese Restaurant Porto; Dog friendly cafes in Kyiv Unlike many other European cities, Kyiv can boast of it's own Maltese restaurant, called Porto  http://porto-rest.com/en/ , which provides excellent (if expensive - at €20 a person) fish and southern Mediterranean dishes. It has been completely renovated last year. Below we show the before on the left, and the after on the right. Porto is located very close to Olympiska metro station, a corner kick away from the main football stadium. All is not what it seems, however, as the chef/owner is Serbian! The same can be said of another "Maltese" institution in Ukraine: The Sovereign Order of Malta:  http://forbes.net.ua/nation/1400976-posol-maltijskogo-ordena-v-ukraine-nasha-tradiciya-so-dnya-osnovaniya-byt-s-temi-kto-stradaet-i-n   The Order of Malta is a government without a territory or political or econom
