Moscow and Yerevan Photo Diary


Moscow recorded the highest temperature in her modern history. The air of Moscow was very foggy, and even hard to breath.



One of the icon of Eastern Orthodox, which looks like Mandara



Eastern Cross in an old church



In the national museum, I found interesting pottery, which looks like Japanese Jomon pottery



Kremlin



I was too late to say hi to Lenin. It closes at 1PM!





When I was walking on the street, a window glass fell just in front of me from the 5th floor of the apartment. Because of high temperature, everyone keep their windows open. Anyway, it was a way too dangerous, and I felt I was not welcomed in Moscow (I could be seriously injured if I walk 2 second earlier)



Main market street of Moscow



Subway in Moscow is so deep!


I flew from Moscow to Yerevan, Armenia
