russia is... when the best photos of your home city smell of chaos and tragedy.

Hello! Did everyone sleep well? I slept for 9 hours. I went to sleep at 9pm and woke up at 6am. Great...... oh well.
When I woke up, Prague was starting to feel like the same old melancholy depressive type of mood... but after showering, breakfast-ing and lazying and reading, I realized it's not the same. For some reason now I find things I can do with my time easily, whereas before I had to struggle in order to make myself do productive things. Now they just come out nice and normal, as they should really.
Like my Dad, I haven't actually gained any weight in Russia, even though I always felt like I over-ate all the time, because the food there is so heavy and just blaaaahhhh. I am so ready for this long and uninteresting summer here in Prague, even though I know it's actually going to be a bit interesting! First of all, the wonderful trip to Germany with Valentyn, secondly the internship. German people beware of the Russian wolf and the Ukranian.... fox? I don't know. Sadly, I can't yet watch the World Cup here yet because of our stupid TV but hopefully it will get fixed soon. Otherwise I am gonna have to go to some bars or something to watch the games... Not really an option for me haha... Germany is playing against Serbia today, they better fucking crush them. Because my favorite Spain was a total disappointment.
What, am gonna blog about football now... Geezzzzz. It's supposed to be about Russia.
Here is a pretty postcard-type of photo of the main attraction in my city, the Kremlin. Haha reminds me of the band the Kremlin from Chicago... one part Billy Sides and who knows what other parts, I can't quite remember.
BTW all photos done by me suckers.
That's the symbol/coat of arms of my city, here done in flowers.

View from the balcony.

The great big river Volga

Funny architecture

Some Russian girls.

Pretty house whaaaat

The great big river once again

My love for everything half-destroyed

It is so aesthetically pleasing to my eyes

And I am not being sarcastic at all

This is my favorite building, but I don't even know what's in it.




I was trying to photograph Russian hipsters, but I was either too slow with my camera, or they didn't come out as hipsters on the actual photo.




Oh yeah.. if anyone is wondering, my city is called Nizhny Novgorod. Apparently, it's the fourth largest city in Russia.
