As someone who’s lived in enough capitals to clock a red flag at 50 paces, I find a certain joy in wandering embassy districts — those odd little clusters of international ego where each nation plays architectural charades: “Guess who we are, based on this three-storey beige nightmare with mirrored windows?”
Just a delight to read! You may wish to see this from Craig Murray on the new American embassy in Lebanon, evidently the second largest embassy anywhere (or what he terms "What the Hell is That?") seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVjrtgpJti4

Haha! The reason I wrote this one is because I have a big one coming about exactly that. Still putting it together. Glad you enjoyed it.
More fun ahead, I see, looking forward to it!
