GUM, Red Square, Moscow
Good old GUM. On my first visit in 1975 it was almost empty with bored staff of a particularly petulant nature. In 2003 it was full of west European luxury goods vendors for the Russian Mafia. The lights make it look so romantic and the silhouettes of the shoppers on Red Square add a human touch. 10
