I know a lot about my city from your blog! There are so many things I did never pay attention to. Thank you very much Katherine!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading, Timur! And for making several of these stories possible :)

DeleteSo which one is yours?
ReplyDeleteFavorite? Probably the swan lock because it's the most detailed.... definitely a labor of love. Have you run across any bridges/places like this in Kiev?
DeleteNo, I didn't mean favourite:) Did you have one made? Yes, we saw a small bridge in Kiev but it's also a huge tradition in Moscow. In fact, couples used to just throw them in the Moscow River and then apparently the government didn't like the pollution it was causing and that's how this tradition started. I don't remember the whole story though. Anyways, it's a lot prettier this way!
ReplyDeleteGotcha! No, we haven't done this. I've always wanted to have our wedding here in Ukraine though, so maybe it will happen.... Thanks for the info about Moscow :)
DeleteOh the swans are so pretty!
