sorry, no surreptitious photos taken of the blonde (and sometimes brunette or dyed-black haired) beauties which populated the city...if you are bored w/ pictures of buildings and the like, head for another thread.
the ducks were almost frozen out:
the theater, at night:
another striking building:
russian church, w/ the moon looking down:
some sort of govt building, complete w/ christmas (not holiday) tree:
across the pond:
the hippies were out:
impromptu jump:
pretty sure there's no dura-ace on this bike:
from the architectural museum (some japanese architect's work):
in a nutshell, it was a cold but very worthwhile visit. i found some good record shops, ate some great food, had plenty of iced vodka shots, caught a swedish band (Soundtrack of Our Lives) in a club packed w/ young blonde vixens, did a whole lot of walking, was the recipient of gracious hosting via the company we were working with, and did a fair bit of xmas shopping to boot.
recommended.
