Good Luck.
Russia's government will remove large building in centre of Moscow. building looks exactly like brown Louis Vuitton suitcase. It is nine metres high and 30 metres long and is covered in Louis Vuitton's famous logo. It also has two giant Russian flags running down one side. luxury goods maker built it for 6-week exhibition of Louis Vuitton luggage. exhibition was going to open on December 2nd to mark 150-year anniversary of company. spokesperson from Louis Vuitton said everyone at company was disappointed. company had planning permission to make building and Moscow building inspectors visited it many times before builders finished it.

giant suitcase became very unpopular with ordinary Muscovites. Many people could not understand why city agreed to build it in Moscow's famous Red Square. member of Russia's Communist Party said Red Square was " sacred place for Russian state". suitcase was built next to tomb of Lenin. Moscow pensioner said: "This is embarrassment for our country. All we think about is business, business, business." He said it was shocking because most Russians could never afford to buy Louis Vuitton product. building may be moved to another part of Moscow. money collected from the exhibition will go to Russian children's charity.
