You know you've spent too long on google sightseeing when you think you may have actually spotted the great wall of China. I'm still not sure--no high resolution photos outside major cities in China.

I did findthe Kremlin though. Anyone know what that enormous building with trees inside just to the east is?? I googled a lot and best I can find is that it's a hotel, but that didn't sound right to me.

I can't find my city map just this instant, but when I find it, I'll try to remember to look. Of course, a LOT has changed in ten years.

I'm fairly sure, however, that is the Rossiya Hotel. I could be wrong.

btw, from your link, zoom out three times. IN the upper NW quandrant, where the colors change, you can see a small oval (it's a stadium). I lived very near that stadium.

The classrooms I attended were downtown, very near the Kremlin.
