"Victory Day" or you don't need to be James Bond to stand 10m away from nuclear rockets...

Today the russians celebrate their victory over germany and the end of the war. The parade was the first with tanks since the end of the war. The day is public holiday and the most russian already started to celebrate yesterday. Parties will be till Sunday. Here are some pictures that I shot:

GUM

Today we have been to the red square again, but this time we visited russians biggest mall called "GUM". It was built 1893 and its huge 75000 m² .  It got 3 walks and 3 floors, in the middle is a big fountain and the roof is made of glass. A lot of high class shops are in there like Hugo Boss, La Coste, Jil Sander... So better bring a few rubbles with you when you want to shop their.

Some flowers for the Father's Day

Today is Father's Day, well at least in germany.

4 Vodka and an Ukrainian lunch

Yesterday we went in the break with Sergey and some oth

er guys from the agency to an Ukrainian restaurant. The food was great! We drank 4 Ukrainian Vodka and after that we went back and had a review at our CD - it went pretty good ;) 

Russian just drink with a toast. If you don't toast before drinking you are an alcoholic - if you toast every time you can drink as much as you can. After a Vodka they are used to eat something like gherkins or bread - or they just take a smell at a bread.

That's not a menu, now THIS is a menu!
