[aaus-list] Kyiv and the game board MONOPOLY

[Natalia Pylypiuk]

Pane Vadyme:

The cities were selected by votes, which visitors submitted to the site.
The Gdynia enthusiasts were simply more active...

Also, please note that Montreal, Paris, Jerusalem,  Hong Kong, London,
New York, Toronto, Athens, Tokyo, and Barcelona -- among other --
are on the list.  This is lovely company to keep.  Why not visit one  
or all
of them?

Best,
N. Pylypiuk
