Full of Hot Air
Growing up, I was always a passionate reader of Jules Verne, and having reached the tender age of 25, I’ve still yet to fall out with the adventurous spirit all of his books are imbued with. What I’ve found, however, is that the excitement and serenity that exist between the pages of those books can be had in real life, all you have to do is make an appointment.

A Techno Dare-devil
 Being witness to the crazy sounds coming from the I Am Techno party held out at the Kyiv Expo Plaza last weekend, What’s On spotted a highly professional young man behind the turntable. Going in for a closer look, turns out that DJ Sender’s real name is Eugene Evtukhov, and getting him over on the sofa for a little R&R, we get the goods on all of the messages DJ Sender is sending out to his fans.

 Gouache and Lady Arlett (pop-rock), Art Club 44 (Khreshchatyk 44b), 4 August at 22.00
This last month of summer will kick off with a great concert by Gouache and Lady Arlett. Beginning his career in Kharkiv while studying at theatrical school, Gouache’s lead singer quickly realised that his stage talents included not just acting but singing as well, and so in 2006, he created this new band with the funky name from which we can soon expect a debut album. On this particular evening, Gouache will be playing with another one of Kyiv’s local groups, Lady Arlett, and together, they’re going to keep you rocking despite the heat.

Corruption: Good or Bad?
Corruption is endemic in Ukraine, of that there is no doubt, and its presence in the higher echelons of government is dragging the country down to its knees. But it permeates all levels of society, and is often the way many a low paid government official provides for himself and his family. And if you ask most Ukrainians about corruption they will smile and say, “If the answer is no, and you really need it to be yes, you can make it yes.”

A Wine Story
I read somewhere that the motivation behind the drinking of wine equals five: the arrival of a friend, one’s present or future thirst, the excellence of the wine, or any other reason. It certainly could be argued that the first, second, third and/or fifth reasons are excellent arguments as to why the good people of Ukraine treat themselves with this little indulgence. With regards to the fourth, however, the jury is still out.
