Getting in Touch With Women’s Day
Women’s Day, which is on 8 March, is
fast approaching, so it’s high time to lay some plans for the
celebration. Don’t forget flowers and kisses, of course, but remember,
nothing can compare to a dinner in one of Kyiv’s luxurious restaurants.
What’s On helps out all the men out there who are at a loss for where
to wine and dine their better halves.

Spicy Popstar Hopeful Wassabi
If Ukraine’s economy could run on
young female pop stars, we could all kiss the crisis goodbye.
Unfortunately that’s not the case, but at least no one can claim any
deficit of good-looking girls dancing and singing on massive
flat-screen TVs. The latest, and youngest, of the bunch to make a run
at the Ukrainian big time is Wassabi, a 16-year-old from Zaporizhya.
With the help of producer Dima Klimashenko, she hit the airwaves last
year with her first pop confection.

Arts Cultural Types Face Avant-Garde
‘Complaints on Spam’, painting and graphics by Igor Gusev, L-Art gallery (2B Andriyvsky Uzviz), 17 – 29 June
Odessa is famed for its humour and artist Igor Gusev, a resident of the Black Sea port, will inject some much needed southern humour into the local art scene at his upcoming ‘Complaints on Spam’ exhibition. Mocking those hangers-on who attend ostentatious openings on the basis of an artist’s name and reputation, Gusev will hang paintings round the wrong way with only the back exposed to the public. more... |

Football Ukraine in Saudi Arabian Adventure
World Cup Football, Ukraine vs. Saudi Arabia, sports bars across town, 19 June at 19.00
Pundits say that there are no easy games in international football, but if Ukraine aren’t able to put at least a couple past the Arabian kingdom then Blokhin’s Boys really don’t deserve to go through to the knockout stages. Yaser Al Kahtani is one Saudi player who could pose the well marshaled Ukrainian defence problems; the quick forward is an excellent dribbler and is earmarked as the next big thing in Asian football. more... |

James Blunt Thinks Kyiv is Beautifu
James Blunt in concert, Palace Sport (1 Sportyvna Pl.), 2 March at 19.00
James Blunt is the English folk-rock singer-songwriter who rose to fame back in 2005 with his debut album, Back to Bedlam, which featured appealing singles like You’re Beautiful. The BRIT award winner and Grammy nominee’s mellow style melds pop, rock and folk, and his rough-hewn looks tend to win over the women in the audience. Tickets will soon be on sale for this latest excellent rock-music offering from Palace Sport, of all places, which has been on a roll with its bookings for the last year or so. For more information call 246-7406.

From Mitsubishi A Good, Standard Ride
Times have changed a little bit in
the world of automobiles here in the Mother City of the Slavs. For a
long time, easy credit and cheap petrol conspired to create a local
situation in which ‘the bigger, the better’ was the operative logic,
which means that you couldn’t walk 10 metres in the city without
bumping into a massive brand-new night-coloured SUV. (Or it bumping
into you.) But with Ukraine feeling the squeeze of the financial
crisis, that’s all over for the moment, and it might be time for
Ukrainians to start taking to smaller cars. The new Mitsubishi Lancer X
Sportback is precisely one of those cars. We took it out for a test
spin.
