no, i wasnt chao mugging the last ten days.

i was, inter alia:
- freezing my butt in the cold of stockholm
-taking a ferry to helsinki
-having my first ever snowball fight
-taking a train to russia and having to fill out immigration and customs forms in russian
-watching authentic russian ballet in st petersburg
-getting hopelessly lost and frozen in moscow
-walking in the winter wonderland of pretty tallinn

of course there were lots more in between. but i just got back home like 1.5hrs ago, with a huge pile of laundry that needs to be done and some catching up on sleep to do. and a chockfull of photos that needs to be uploaded. and remember that i have schoolwork to catch up on. but just check this out:
the view from the hotel room in moscow. its like a just like a city in a snowglobe, only its actually REAL.// trudging into tallinn central station.

freezing my ass in the red square of moscow// st basil's church located on the red square

an imposing st isaac's church in st petersburg// the church of the split blood also in st petersburg

the winter palace and hermitage in st petersburg.

these are all REAL pictures taken by yours truly. REAL. more pictures to come. if you're wondering why its only of russia, when i was at stockholm, tallin and helsinki, its coz my camera started to die of low batt in russia AND i didnt bring my charger. so smart hor??
