flew-enza
i have not updated this blog for a while.
well, too many things are happening, and in a way a lot of reasons to write here, yet when life is like a shinkansen blogging feels like a chewing gum in a fancy restaurant.
anyway, i bought my snickers in april and they've been to boston, san francisco, new york, amsterdam, moscow, minsk, hong kong, macao, chicago and some small places in-between. where my head was it's another story.
here's some very random pictures (clickable for the full res)
this is a burner's bus, not a rare thing to see is california
height street in san francisco is one of the hippiest places on earth, yet they have pink store like that too. freedom of thought is very important here.
little cafe in the same area, posters here reflect the mood in the city.
moscow, vdnh, my favorite place to go when i was skipping classes in middle school, it is in a bad shape these days, yet still fun to visit
many things are under construction in moscow - they are redoing hotel moskva, on the outside it will look the same as before, including the asymmetry that is there because stalin singed both alternative plans, so they were confused and in order not to disobey the tyron they used both plans.
this is my friend, at his place in boston, he travels even more than i
these are my friends in moscow. i know them for so many years. more than 25.
moscow, cdh - it is one my most favorite places in moscow, it is a huge art exhibitions' place, we used to watch non-mainstream movies when we were students in the 80s. it is still really cool, but i heard that it's not for long. sad.
macao is like a huge casino city. former portuguese city-state colony next to hong kong. it is very different from hong kong. people, language, culture, architecture, yet they are very near each other.
also in macao they have lots of european style architecture, it is a small town, on two islands. and a lot of casinos are being built, i guess in 5-10 years it will be very different.
april 12, 1961 yuri gagarin went to space and got back. this in a day that people all over the world celebrate as a space day. and there are parties called yuri's night in thousand of places. but in california there is a nasa center and it is an amazing place and an amazing event. tons of people and live music (this time was my favorite tipper there too) exhibitions etc etc. really cool, every year it's getting better and better.
dollar is falling, gas prices are rising, so inexpensive supermarkets in boston is crowded. before july 4th holiday weekend lots of people are afraid that they gonna lose weight.
in moscow, sokolniki park, two metal pipes are trying to talk
downtown hong kong. people
and many many buildings in hong kong are tall and narrow. it has a nice skyline.
ocean there is full of life. lots of big ships
in new york, east village, in manhattan, there is a small cafe, that i really like. about 14 year ago i went there for the first time, and they had a brunch deal - an omelet + toast + fruit + juice + beer, all for 6 bucks. and they open 24 hours. i just love that place.
moscow, varshavskaya subway station. i grew up in that area. lots of dogs sleep calmly there now.
minsk is nice. often feels very nostalgic for me. very clean, quite, very little street advertising.
my favorite futuristic apartments in moscow - alye parusa. when they first build them a studio there was for 50 000 bucks, i thought it was madly expensive, i guess now it is more than half a million. lots of fancy construction in moscow, yet it all look 90% finished at best. i guess people just don't know that it could be better.
this is a celling light that i was starring at all my childhood. i had it in my room. it is at my parent's country house near moscow now. it is hard to imaging how many hours i looked at it, and it was long time ago. simple geometric forms that were popular in 70s. but one "square" is irregular, and goes in a bit. every night i was thinking is it intensional or just an error. what do you think?
can you imaging, they lost my luggage again. this time aa forgot it in chicago. but next day they brought it home.
