Over the Rainbow

They were setting up for more celebrations in honour of hosting the games in the park overlooking the city and used the communist arch and statues as a backdrop.

I need to work on a new pose for photographs as the hands by the side thing is getting a little old; unfortunately throwing gang signs, thumbs up or shakkas isn't really going to cut it either. The big guys behind me look less than impressed.
Communist propaganda? There was a nice view down to the river and the docks. The river was quite industrial even in the centre of the city; the old part of the city was seperated from it by a steep incline, which you traversed using a train type thing (my minds erased the proper name for it).
If a city has a river there's a new rule that you have to take a boat trip.This is the monastery complex we'd visited the previous day.When I found out the local nickname for this statue was the steel wench I became mildly obsessed and kept trying to find her, although this is the best view I ended up getting.
