My dear friends, but after these heels and rain we spen a great time in Gorkiy Park! This is another famouse place of Moscow! Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure is an amusement park in Moscow, Russia, named after Maxim Gorky. It was opened in 1928 and is located at Krymsky Val.

The park has become known in the west as the title of a novel by Martin Cruz Smith, which was later made into a movie Gorky Park.

The successful and melodic German metal band, Scorpions, achieved great success with their popular single, "Wind of Change", which references "Gorky Park" in light of the sociopolitical changes taking place in a post Cold War era in Eastern Europe in the early 1990s.

"Gorky Park" is mentioned in the song Vodka by Morena, which represented Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.

More photos of Gorkiy Park made (not by me)
AND here is a funny photo with rabbit that may husband won for me in "badger" compitition;)

I am lucky gırl;)Aфоризм дня

That park sound so intresting, and to believe it is so close to here you live. My closes amusement park now is three hours a way.

OlgaOlgita # Sunday, July 6, 2008 4:03:07 PM

It takes us 40 minutes to get there. We usually go by train in the Underground.

Anyway it's something to go by "sub" to a real park with everything...

OlgaOlgita # Sunday, July 6, 2008 7:28:52 PM

We say the same - METRO! I think American people say - the Subway and the English say - the Underground!

Ze, the city is really overcrowded... There are also new stations in the Underground - they are OK:) But metro trains are really dirty.

Cush Marcush # Wednesday, July 9, 2008 3:24:11 PM

i thought you described my city, what the hell happened?
my town has been well managed by the comm_s, but the aristocrats who managed it before ww2 were also good. For now it looks like all able "to do" for the town have emigrated!!!!!!!!

Mizz MartínezMizzMartinez # Monday, August 11, 2008 7:54:20 AM

WOW! I am definitely coming to Moscow now!

OlgaOlgita # Monday, August 11, 2008 8:51:17 AM

KERSTIN, you haven`t been in my blog for ages!!!!!

So many comments from you!

Mizz MartínezMizzMartinez # Monday, August 11, 2008 9:01:57 AM

Well, I have taken my time now! The reason to why I haven't been to your blog for ages is that I was in Bolivia (and internet costs, you pay per hour) and then when I got back I did not have Macie nor internet. But now I am back in the game!

JDjrd2498 # Tuesday, August 12, 2008 12:57:31 AM

Mizz MartínezMizzMartinez # Tuesday, August 12, 2008 8:07:38 PM

Thanks José!
