There's a whole world under our feet!

The first two days we explored our neighborhood, we frequently had the unpleasant experience of crossing crazy busy streets where pedestrians were not given any right-of-way. The saying here is, " You're not a good driver if you can't make four lanes out of three."  Day three we discovered that all the stairways heading down were not all subway entrances but actually a way to pass under those wild intersections.  Not only that but once beneath downtown Kiev, pathways headed off in every direction, littered with countless little shops.  Add to this picture full two story underground malls!  The attached photo is where we had lunch two floors beneath the street.  Good Ukrainian food!  Also attached is a photo of where we did not eat!
