Архангельское Парк

Архангельское Парк - 23 Apr 2011

a lazy saturday off to the suburbs 20km off Moscow

map of Arhangelskoe Park

ticket

on pathway leading up to the summer palace.

the main door of the summer palace.

isnt it so lovely?

the main palace, now an art museum

exchange students listening to one of the buddies speak about the park's history.

none of us were really listening since her accent as rather difficult to understand,

i bet she doesnt understand what she is reading off her webpage print out too.

see the drawings on the wall?

the back of the main palace.

looking off the entire park from the main palace.

those house-like things, they protect the statues from being crushed by heavy snow.

a picture with my fellow exchange mates from SMU.

moscow river!

moscow river's still frozen!

no swimming, no fishing! fragile ice.

this is how close we were to Moscow river!

Mandarin Ducks!

donald duck and daisy duck!

such a forlorn picture.

i like the miniature-effect canon offers.

civil servant

i have 2 civil servants at home,

when i was still a little girl,

i dreamed to be like them,

when i grew older,

i thought, maybe i would like to try venturing into the private sector,

now, 1 year shy from my graduation,

and looking at the jobs that i've been applying for,

maybe i am pre-destined to work with the government.

whatever the case is,

my wish is just to be employed,

doing something related to politics and/or law.

will this dream of mine come true?

Православная Церковь

Православная Церковь - 03 Apr 2011the day when all my exchange mates from smu were not in Moscow, i decided to make a lone trip around.since it was a Sunday, and i felt i ought to make an effort to go to church, henceforth... ...

this is the Orthodox Church that i always see on my way to University.

i always wanted to go attend a service or so there,

but i dint really know how to get there.

today i was determined to find my way there.

inside the Church.

a smaller version of the church near the entrance.

the lovely architecture of the Church.
