St. Basil's...with Freckles?
Some friends and I were out walking around Moscow, and I just thought this was a really neat picture of St. Basil's in Red Square...my camera, on the other hand, thought it was lame and sabotaged it.The Metro
This is just one of the beautiful metro stations I go in every week. They're typically crowded with people though. Metro stations are perfect places to people-watch. Hilarity ensues.
My Room
This is my room from the doorway. My window faces out onto the street, and evidently everyone who has lived in it hates all the noise and consequently moves to a different room/flat. I, however, fell in love with the noise of the city, so this room and I are a perfect fit. You can't really tell, but the room is very, very long, but not very wide. About 20 ft. x 7ft.
My Bed.
This, quite obviously, is my bed. It has a race car comforter (either that, or it's some awful 1980's mess). It was free, it was clean, so I took it. I don't think you can really tell, but above my bed are some pictures I sporadically collected before I left. Send me pictures, and they will go up there too.
THE WALLPAPER!!!
This is the wallpaper I told you about. Note the lovely garden-like ivy AND the brick--the raised brick. Ridiculous. I love it.
The Kitchen Table
This, ladies and gentlemen, is where it all happens. Actually, you can tell that we don't often use it for the dining table it was meant to be. Anyway, this is how most flats are. There is room for 2, sometimes 3 people to sit comfortably in the kitchen. 4 or 5 people if you cram.
The Other Half of the Kitchen
I think this is self-explanatory.You've just had the mini-grand tour of my flat here. It's special.
This is a typical Soviet-style apartment here. Everything is old, and I love it.

Also, why is there a baby sock on the table in your room?
P.S. That wallpaper is fierce.
I hope you put that studly picture of studly California men I sent to you up.

I miss Russia sooooo much. If only I could go back there. I spent my first 8 years there, you know. Although "I spent most of my time occupying various administration buildings and..."
On second thought. Russia is a cruel cruel place. Leave it for the Russians.
