Eclectic Brain Salad

The travel arrangements went ok, and I enjoyed a really pleasent taxi ride through green leafy streets, over picturesque bridges, and past grandiose churches and other buildings. I thought the main street of Kiev was particularly nice.

After beavering away in my hotel room for the afternoon, finalizing my presentation, and getting some other bits sorted, I met up with my colleagues Alexey and Uliana. Being that they are both fairly local to this part of the world (ok, Alexy is Russian, and Uliana is from Kyrgyzstan, but still more local than me), they will be my guides née saviours for the next four days!

We had a lovely meal, and then made some final plans for tomorrow's onslaught of press and University seminars. Bring it on! ;-)

You can download the full slides for my Ukraine university tour - unzip them, load up Ukraine_university_tour.html in an Opera browser, and press F11 to go into projection mode and view it as a proper slideshow.

These are the full, uncut version of my slides - the versions I showed on tour had less content, because I had to cut them down due to lack of time.

Also available - the slides from the press round table meeting in Kiev (unzip it, and double click the HTML file. If you are running Opera, select View > Full Screen).
