in doing so I use a pad mounted to be seen from the walking position on the treadmill. I use virtual walking tours on the pad that allow you to walk along with the folks "filming" their personal walks within areas around the world. Of course i have virtually walked around cities within Ukraine. Kiev, Kharkiv, Odessa and others.

A couple of observations about these cities I would make are 1. These cities are very cosmopolitan and every bit an equal to many one would see around Europe in general. Subjective, yes buy my observation anyway. 2 I don't know what if anything Statuary says about a culture but in my virtual walking I have noticed many very martial oriented statues within these cities. Majestic soldiers of some conflict with swords and shields and the ever present stern face. If this statuary says anything about the local culture, Russia better watch their shit. (I am sure they have figured this out by now)

Please have a thought today for these great people.
