Some Russia Pics! (Image Heavy)

I thought I would share some pictures from my recent travels.. I have a million billion and want to post them all, but that would be catastrophic! :P Here are a few, anyway:

Some famous sights:

Misc

This is a HUGE ship ride thing that my mom and I went on. I feared for my life and she found it funny:

A pic taken from the opposite side of the Moscow river from which we live on. Our building is to the right of the picture:

View from my window. That's the Moscow university way in the background:

And of course, the stray animals of Moscow, most of which we've fed.

Thanks for the nice pictures. The sky in the picture from your window is beautiful. It's amazing how much different Russia (Moscow?) looks from any American cities I've ever seen. It's so ridiculously crowded and compact though, much like New York City and so on. But the buildings are cool-looking.

Hehe I knew you'd all like the animals!! :D I really wanted to pet them all but didn't just in case they carried some disease.. but man it was tempting.

I have pics of myself but I was going to post them in the pics of yourself thread. :P

Great pics Mes! The pictures of the scenery are beautiful and the animals are cute. I like the last cat picture, the cat looks sinister as if it's up to something.

DUN DUN DUN...meh.

It really is huge, the pic doesn't do it justice!

Oh yes that first dog had some character!! Here it is doing tricks for us when we were feeding him:

I know she's not American and I've been wondering about this for a while coz she doesn't seem to talk like any of the Russians I know?

First of all I've got to apologize for directing my question to the world in general when this is the thread that you started!
I don't know why I did that. :oops:

Secondly, there is no way I could've asked you about being Russian without sounding either stupid or patronizing.
Such are the woes of textual communication.
Once again, I apologize.

Anyway, thanx for clearing that up for me.

Now I know :D

WOW, amazing pictures! I've always been fascinated with Russia. Could you post any more? I've always wanted to see the Kremlin/Red Square (on second thought you can just send all of them in a PM :P, I just find their architecture really awesome)... By the way, what's the security like in Moscow these days? Do they still have tank parades and active SAM sites :D? Anyways, thanks for sharing :)!

Hehe thanks Spartiate!! I can definitely post/send some more architecture pics. The funny thing about Moscow is they still have troops walking down streets... not like all over the place, but once or twice I saw them walk in formation, ooh I loved it, all the uniforms! :P
