Bosnia and Herzegovina 130 Albert St, Suite 805
Estonia 260 Dalhousie St, Suite 210
Latvia 280 Albert St, Suite 300
Lithuanian 130 Albert St, Suite 204
Macedonia 130 Albert St, Suite 1006

Lack of funds?

Romania

et:

Hungarian one looks very fancy, like a castle. Nice.

Ukraine's gives an impression of being crowded with spies doing their espionage work.

Bulgarian doesn't look like an embassy at all, more like a house of a diaspora-bulgarian who simply put the flag up there

Armenian is very nice, like the rest of them too.

No Georgia?

Slovenian Embassy is in this building. Slovenian Consulates in Canada are in Toronto, Vancouver and in New Brunswick.

According to the address, this is the one in New Brunswick:

and this one in Vancouver:

The one in Toronto happens to be the biggest, but I can't find a picture of it. A Slovenian company has it's offices there too...

Armenian Hungarian, Polish and Croatian look very nice ,all seem to be very small in comparison, I think Croatian looks most embassy like with its front garden and high fence, and it is among largest among embassies posted..

You think Hungarian embassy is small? I think for Hungary this fortification is very big

BTW i am so upset that Russian emb is the ugliest one (if not ot count Romania of course). Couldn't they wash it up at least? :bash:

lol, I think KGB design bureau is behind Russian one and Romanian embassy is by far ugliest, I mean it looks like a commie block, lol...
If my country had such ugly embassy I'd sue the government for tarnishing the reputation of my country, lol...

Hungarian looks way cool I agree..

I guess it's because this blocks were built special for Eastern Block countries because of some anti-spy security.

In Moscow there was such an incident in 90's, when CIA agents found a bug in some ancient dish which was given to american ambassador in 60's. After that americans immideatly built new block hahaha lol :hahaha:

Maybe Romanians are conducting secret experiments there and don't want average people knowing that it's an embassy

Tuxa4evskiy, commieblock is how we call all советские "новостройки" подобные тем что в спальных районах
