I rarely touch politics in my travel blog, since politics are always controversial and never black and white. But the topic of this article is hard to dispute and is something I feel very strongly about even after 4 years. I'm talking about Mezhyhirya near Kyiv, a former residence of the infamous and fugitive President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. In February 2014, after he fled Ukraine and found a shelter in Russia, Mezhyhirya was first taken over by Euromaidan protestors and then by state authorities, and later converted to a public place where anyone can go. Since then I kept hearing "Museum of Corruption" as the name of this place, but when I finally visited it in 2017, I was disappointed to see that it's actually become a national park and not a museum of corruption.

Philadelphia or simply "Philly" as locals call it is one of those famous American cities I've been wanting to visit for quite some time now. And even though many people associate "Philadelphia" with the name of a cream cheese, Philadelphia is a beautiful city with a very rich history.
