Transportation in Ukraine

In Kiev, there are many types of expensive cars (Aston Martins, Bentleys, Jags, Ferraris, Maseratis, etc), some I have never even heard of, much less seen before.  But nice, fancy cars do not impress me so I have no pictures of them at all.  :)  Out in the villages, it becomes so much more interesting.  There are cars here too, but typically much older, boxier cars.  Vanya says they are Russian cars.  Then there are bicycles, and horse drawn carts, and tiller drawn carts, and people walking everywhere.  Hitch hiking seems to be quite normal and not a big deal at all.  It is all very interesting to see.

       An example of the trailers that the cars pull behind them.  Sometimes they are full of cabbage,
                                                               beets, or cows even!



Bicycles lined up at the orphanage that the workers ride to work.


                    The horse drawn carts look like Little House on the Prairie until the driver pulls out his cell phone!



     There are these tiller-looking things that they use to pull their carts too.  They haul crops and people.

                                           A horse all hooked up and waiting for his driver.



                   Here is a car with one of the carts hooked up behind it.  And a fun motorcycle.



                      Ali just really liked this car.  This is the style that they use to pull their carts.
