Love this photo! Are many of the stations as grand and as clean as this one? What times is the Metro open/run every day?

similarity is that they all have some foreign flags on buildings (possibly consulates or trade missions).
Beautiful photos anyway, thanks for the thread

alekssa1 · December 29th, 2009, 02:55 PM

Yes, some of consulates I could find on the net. "Guess" was not a question, rather "hey, pay attention it is not just a set of strange buildings"
