This is a cool Icon. To provide a bit more actual, non-pictoral explanation, this is from the Hermitage, where we were today. The lines were as to be expected. The Hermitage is the commie textbook example of why the revolution was justified, with all the proceeds from centuries of exploitation of a huge empire all stacked up in one gaudy pile. (Marina interjecting: take note, oh worthy reader, that this is just Az's high-horsed opinion. In reality, this was the Winter Palace of Russia's great rulers like Catherine and Peter the Greatz! The idea is that this serves as the focal point of all of the country's riches. It's currently one of the four major museums of Europe!)
Here's us in front of the Gulf of Finland. MArina made me put this on, because she thinks we're (read "she's"), cute. ===(++++> Y'arr
Not to tourists who may have been thinking about it: don't rub the grass!
Here's basically the only store we neeed in Russia. It has video games, fresh beer, 50 cent packs of cigarettes, porn, these truly excellent shwarmas, roast chicken, and it's open 24 hours a day! It is truly and actually one store, called 'Boiled Water', with the subtitle 'here live disks!' and 'we opened!', and what's more, it's only a block from our apartment!
