i had cause to visit the russian embassy yesterday.
i learned that it was in the diplomatic zone,
alongside many other embassies.
good. shouldn't be difficult to find.
just look for their flag.
after two circuits, on both occasions stopping outside
the turkish embassy to squint really hard at their
fluttering red flag, i remembered glasnost and perestroika and stopped looking for the soviet flag,
i started looking for the russian flag...
...and finally found the right place.
lovely people, the russians.
what else have i missed?
oh, yes...
