I decided to post the last bunch of pictures, and then the last part of the story. And then I move to something else and it would be cool. Because I have plans.

Last days I was busy with thinking. About my life in the future. I have no idea what I shold be in ten years. Beside the world-famous writer, of course. But I need a plan. A good executable plan for my life in the next several years.

Oh, well. Enjoy the streets of Moscow

The note about Red Square (Krasnaya Ploshchad'): The word "krasny" that now means "red" had the meaning "beautiful" when the square was named. So, actually, it is Beautiful Square.

First months in Canada I was very surprised by looks of churches here. They looked so casual to me

When I saw my first Protestant church in the US, my initial reaction was, "And this warehouse is a church?"

I had similar reaction, but then I thought it may have to result from theological points of protestantism that I don't know much about.

It does have something to do with the theological points of the Protestant church and I also don't know enough. From the little I remember, it has to do with the interpretation of the Bible and the idea that pleasures in current life are not terribly important (dance, food, music, decoration). If I'm not terribly mistaken, Cromwell's movement was a good example of this.

I agree - this much I know - Cromwell, and English revolution, and basics of protestantism - I guess, I wasn't ready for practical implications of these ideas - after all, I was more used to European archtecture, that, even protectant, looked different (partly because often it was former catholic churches.) Again, most of the warehouse-like churches I've seen here, in Canada, are built recently - so it is connected to styles and fashions, too.
