It is the Glavnyi Shtab - General Staff Building , on the south side of Palace Square. Built to house the General Staff and the ministries of foreign affairs and finances. It is in two parts, with a monumental archs crossing ul Bolshaya Morskaya at the entrance to Palace Square.

thanks Wink

i really had a ball in moscow/spb.

never in my life i thought i'd have so much fun.

everyone was nice and friendly, genuine and sincere... taking care of me/protecting me from weird people lol.

but let's face it, it's a superficial holiday to an extent because i only stayed on the "safe" places, went to do "safe" things... i want to see the "real" thing because russia is such a huge country.

i will definitely come back. february. for a longer time.

i've made acquaintances with other prettier girls but i didn't take pictures of them cause i met them at clubs etc...

and yes... a lot of them are like REALLY tall like 6 ft++ and skinny and model-like, it's scary!

the ones i took pictures of are the people i always hang out with (aka friends)
