No plans over Xmas break?

Then head over to Kiev to be an Ukranian election observer.

To be an effective observer, you should try to arrive in Ukraine about 1 week before the election and stay for 3 days after the election. For those already in Ukraine, plan to spend about 3 days before and 2 days after the election in the region where you will be posted. A training session will be organized for observers before the election (most likely in Kyiv, possibly in Canada too – we will inform you). Observers should try to bring with them a video camera, digital / photo camera, flashlight, and mobile phone that will work in Europe (tri band or GSM 900/1800 – this is different than most cell phones in North America), with extra film, batteries, etc. If you don’t have some of these things, our local team will try to provide them for you.

Only $430+ says Travelocity from NYC.

If I didn’t have plans, I’d seriously consider this.
