These events have an small entrance fee and then you can buy whatever food and drink takes your fancy. From here you have spectacular views of the old city and the monasteries on the opposite river bank and can watch the various pleasure boats drift by. What's your favourite part of the river Dnipro?

All kinds of Everything (1970)  Birch Juice  Eurovision-time is also the height of the birch tree juice season. In April and early May as the sap rises in birch trees people in Ukraine and Belarus tap the trees in a similar way to maple syrup and extract the water. Tree sap is said to be the purest from of water because it is filtered through living vegetation. It is also slightly sweet. If you leave a jar under one tree over night you can have around five litres of sap by the morning. The best juice is the fresh variety, but this can only be found in the countryside. But this drink is popular with city dwellers and a sweetened version can be found from various producers in all supermarkets in Kyiv. In Ukraine the drink is used to reduce freckles. What do you do with this ingredient?
