You can: we have them! I’ve been uploading photos to http://flickr.com/blinken and Guy is uploading them to Facebook or wherever, if that’s your thing. Here are some of my favorites, but keep an eye on the Flickr page for the latest.
I was going to finish with a witty pun, but after reading the post below for the first time I think if we upload any more puns today WordPress will literally set fire to our blog. So, sorry about that.
Tram, Yekaterinburg: where we are now. They have trams, buses, trolley buses *and* a subway. In a city the size of Perth.
Red Square in Moscow. Kremlin to the right, behind the big white domey thing. GUM fancy-pants department store to the left, behind the temporary ice skating rink. St Basil’s Cathedral in the centre.
Market shopping in St Petersburg, with the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood in the background. Very pretty. I bought a cool camera and a USSR-replica hipflask (I passed on the KGB one), Guy picked up some neat replica Russian space program badges.
I’ll leave it at that, but check out the photos if you get a chance – click on any of the pictures above or see http://www.flickr.com/photos/blinken/sets/72157632663440077/with/8448707778/ for a convenient index page.
Yours in Russia-ness,
