Happy New Year for all the readers of What's up, Ukraine! Enjoy these marvellous holidays, and see you in 2009!

The capital of Ukraine has already started "pre-celebrations" to meet a New Year 2009 on a proper level. I would like to present my best New Year wishes to all the respected auditory of this blog, and to join the crowd of happy people of Kyiv, who are not thinking about politics, President, Government, Parliament, early election of whoever it may be, or about budget-2009 (by the way, President signed it today, and the same time called the document "a tragedy of Ukrainian nation").

I'm planning to write my next post here on Monday 5 January. Happy New Year!
