Yeah, I know that some of them are sideways, but it’s really more work than I’m willing to put into it right now to change them.

I have one picture on there from the soccer football game I went to. Zenit St. Petersburg (who won the UEFA Cup this year (that’s a pretty big deal)) played CSK Moscow.  The game was interesting even though it ended in a 0-0 tie.  There were something like 11 yellow cards and 2 red cards.  Apparently that is a lot.  The most interesting part was not the game, but the military and police presence.  Armed guards circled the field to prevent anyone from trying to run on.  When we left, there was about 100 yards of army soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder forming a line on either side of the sidewalk all the way from the stadium to the metro.  That was either the most or the least safe place to be in Moscow.  Either way, it was quite and experience.
