Memorial to the late President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski at the Consulate-General of Poland.
“WARSAW — A plane carrying the Polish president and dozens of the country’s top political and military leaders to the site of the Soviet massacre of Polish officers in World War II crashed in western Russia on Saturday, killing everyone on board.
President Lech Kaczynski’s plane tried to land in a thick fog, missing the runway and snagging treetops about half a mile from the airport in Smolensk, scattering chunks of flaming fuselage across a bare forest.
The crash came as a stunning blow to Poland, wiping out a large portion of the country’s leadership in one fiery explosion. And in a bizarre twist, it happened at the moment that Russia and Poland were beginning to come to terms with the killing of more than 20,000 members of Poland’s elite officer corps in the same place 70 years ago.
“It is a damned place,” former President Aleksander Kwasniewski told TVN24. “It sends shivers down my spine.”
“This is a wound which will be very difficult to heal,” he said.”
Location: Polish Consulate in Woollahra, Sydney, Australia.

Kwan Hai Lu or 觀海廬 'Sea View Cottage' was the residence of the Consulate General of the Republic of China from 1929 to 1972. The Consul General played the role of Embassy from 1929 during the War until diplomatic relations were established with Taiwan in 1967. The President of China 大總統, Lin Sen 林森 stayed at 觀海廬 in 1931 while studying Australian democracy. In 1969 Australia formalised diplomatic relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan and an Embassy was opened in Canberra. In 1972 the Australian Government betrayed its wartime ally and ended diplomatic relations with the Republic of China after recognizing the communist bandits who occupied the non-free area of the Republic of China, currently outside the control of the central government in Taipei.

The Consulate General of Russia in New York City is the diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation in New York City. Opened in 1994, the consulate is located at 9 East 91st Street in the former John Henry Hammond House. The five-story Renaissance style limestone townhouse, designed by Carrère and Hastings, was built in 1903 for Hammond, a New York City banker.
A consulate of the former Soviet Union had previously existed on E. 61st Street from 1933 until 1948. Cold War disputes and other issues led to the mission’s closing for 46 years.

Romanian presidential election 2014, Consulate General, Munich, Germany
People trying to cast their votes for the Romanian presidential elections in the Consulate General of Romania, Munich, 02 Nov 2014.
After the voting was closed at 9:00 pm about one thousand Romanians still wated, some for more than 6 hours, to cast their votes for the Romanian presidential election.
When it became clear that they would be prevented from voting a spontaneuous protest erupted which was eventually ended by the Bavarian police locking the Consulate General. People went on cheering "vrem sa votam" ("we want to vote") for an hour.

Protesters met outside the Canadian consulate in downtown Minneapolis to raise awareness about the hunting of seals in Canada. They also advocate boycotts of Canadian seafood and tourism.
I found an old abandoned, Iranian Consulate hidden in a wooded area in Cheshire. Me and some friends decided to go and check it out. It was really interesting. The place looked like it was just left and forgotten about; children’s toys, sofas, books, tapes, clothes just left. There was also lots of Iranian forms and books lying around which was also interesting.

On November 18th, we celebrated the 90th Anniversary of the Charles’ Mitchell mansion, also known as the Consulate general of France's building.
934 Fifth Avenue is probably the best-known address for French New Yorkers. For 50 years, it has been the home of the French Consulate.
Since 1926, the 934 Residence has always been perceived as a flagship for elegance. Charles Mitchell, his first owner, the millionaire president of National City Bank, succeed in making his mansion “a show place of this fashionable neighborhood”, as the New York Times wrote in 1942.
On March 25, 1942, The French Consulate, which had outgrown the space it had been renting since 1933 at 610 Fifth Avenue, in the prestigious Rockefeller Center, purchased a building twenty-five blocks to the north, facing Central Park. The address: 934 Fifth Avenue.
This very beautiful mansion, built in 1926 by the architects Alexander Walker and Leon Gillette for financier Charles Mitchell, had been “taken over” by J.P. Morgan & Co in 1939 after the bankruptcy of its owner.
