Belfast Irish Pub, Kiev, Ukraine


Belfast Irish Pub - a classical Irish Pub, sponsored by Staropramen, which is also what they were serving us. It went well with watching Czechs beating Swiss at EURO2008.


Igor Sichkar - Tivoli specialist at SI BIS, an IBM business partner company in Ukraine. With Sichkar family having Cossack origin, he was born and raised in Kiev, graduated at Taras Shevchenko University, as a student did some Perl programming at Antonov - the famous aircraft maker and worked for KP VTI and SIS before recently coming to SI BIS. Avid football player and pretty good at Russian Billiards - which is way more difficult than English/American one. Enthusiastically reading books about important historical figures, such as Peter The Great and Napoleon. People one can learn a big deal from.


Russian Billiards - bigger balls, tighter holes. Not sure how that sounds ... :)


Disco Party Boats on Dnypro - comes Friday, young Kiev citizens hop on boats and have a good time. Good times rolling up and down the river. Lots of them.
