OK, so Yoko Ono opened an exhibition in Moscow this week. Maybe a better word would be "installation". It's called "A Cockroach's Odyssey"... some sort of anti-war statement with photos and objects. To be honest, I didn't quite "get" it...

My co-worker got an invitation to the exhibit opening last night but couldn't go, so Irina & I went and got to see Ms. John Lennon up close and view her exhibit. Whenever we're in London, random people will call Irina "Yoko". We've never been quite sure how to take this... Is it racist? :? There are obvious differences between a Japanese woman and a Kazakh/Tatar woman... but there might be a bit of similarity between them (very vague...).

Interestingly, as Yoko walked by Irina last night, Yoko stopped and took a long look at her 8O Aside from that, Irina got a couple of pretty decent photos.

So tonight, while Irina was busy with photography class, I attended a reception in Yoko's honor. As she walked by at one point, this conversation occurred:
Morbyd: Hello
Yoko: Hi
Morbyd: Welcome to Moscow
Yoko: Thank you.

:lol:

Ah, those random brushes with fame :lol: Still, I found it pretty cool :D

She's very obviously quite batty.

On Wednesday at the exhibit opening she told a long rambling story about how her uncle lived in St Petersburg in 1914-1918 and married a Russian woman named Anna. Foreigners were forced out of Russian in 1918 so the uncle and Anna moved to Japan.

She told this story as a way of explaining her loooooove for Russia. She always saw her aunt Anna as this prime example of the "strong Russian woman".

Hmm... ok, doesn't seem as odd when I write it out, but the way she told the story left me standing there with one eyebrow raised scratching my head :lol:

Oh, and she was very excited that all the clothes she was wearing that night she'd bought locally. According to the papers, she went on a massive shopping spree :lol:
 
6 degrees of separation :lol: Like entertainers always say I am glad to be here, this place is great. How can they be glad to be everywhere? I dislike some places it is only natural.:?
