i had the best time in ukraine. kiev is the most breathtaking city i have ever been fortunate enough to visit. even the underground stations are like cathederals ! i dont think i would have been able to meet though as my schedule was really tight, its different when its a work trip, you cant really call the shots like you could on holiday time.
i hope you and irinas success continues.
anyway, i wanted to say that i agree with your post on the nail art/ nss issue. wanted to give you rep points but i cant until i have given some out to others first.
