We really couldn’t have asked for a better location – our place was about a 2-3 minute walk to Independence Square.

From kailey:
I was searching for something else, but I noticed this thumbnail in google. Believe it or not, I actually own a bedspread exactly like it…I mean exactly, I double checked. I picked it up somewhere in Canada I think, though I can totally see it in Eastern Europe.
