... of people everywhere,
trains packed, trains whistling into stations, leaving wind gusts
behind them that blow and whistle through the station. Trains are very
noisy and arrive every minute or so. Hard Rock was ok, glad I went as
it was HRC in Moscow, but food was ordinary, inside was smoky and
shop was disappointing. Lots of rain today, we were dumped on at the
kremlin and ...

... invented "bling" because some of the gold chains I saw made hip-hop artists look like nickel and dime street acts. Russian may be the reason why gold is so expensive; they have about half of it displayed in museums and domed churches.

The Kremlin is the heart of the city and Russia itself. However, if you look outside of it, you can see the lifeblood of Russia changing rapidly. Since the fall of the ...

... The air is crisp and fresh, the smell of the delicious Russian pastris and packages of Russian fruit juices got me all salivating....Mmmmm . My favorite juices are cherry and peach. There are unlimited fruit tarts, cream puffs, crackers and potato chip up for the grabs. My favorite potato chip there is the Crab favored, yum. The company is Lay's. I wish they make things like this in the US. You get what you paid for for being allowed into the ...

... vodka so far however its wont be long before some ruskie takes offense and insists on sharing a bottle or 4. (Just ask Peter are Aussie / Hungarian friend). The last 3 days have been brilliant and i am going to be sad to leave moscow behind. Am preparing for the 9000km rail road by fasting. (Cant think of a better way of avoiding those windy rail road toilets) So it is fairwell from russia with love, buna and zudraski, Hello eastern delights!

Moscow. A wonderful summer evening. Riga Railway Station. Bus. Backpacks.
Somewhere in Riga Andrew was waiting for us.
1-2-3-go!

... to get there considering my experience with bus journeys in Russia so far. My last day in Moscow was spent in a huge park a bit outside the city centre. Central Moscow is pavement and cement as far as the eye can see so it was nice to be able to smell grass and trees for a while. And of course I went back to Red Square to have another wander around. I love Red Square and it's a brilliant place to take photos. One thing I did in Red Square was have an Irn Bru. Anyone ...

... and everyone around me was dead silent while the other side of the stadium roared with renewed hope! At around 2am, when Nicolas Anelka missed the 8th kick for Chelsea which sealed the victory for Man U, I could see and feel people around me dying inside. They had gone from the happiest moment in their lives to utter despair within a matter of a few minutes and a few twists of fate. I concealed my joy of having just witnessed a game ...

We again arrived in moscow at a stupid time in the morning to be met off the train by our young guide whos name eludes me. She was a sweet lass but i was hoping more for one of the stunning moscovites that id seen mincing up and down the carriage aisles on the train. The train from Irkutsk had taken us 4 continous days on the train. It had definately started to grate towards the end but on the whole the journey had been good fun ...

A: We finally got to the Internet cafe. We have been sightseeing for most of the time. No time to waste. We have only three days here--but we did alright...I think we saw most of what we planned, and also got a pretty good feel of the locals, and the general vibe of Russia:) Well I don't think I would be able to get along here by myself quite as easily as I did with Tomek...or at least it would take me much longer. Russia is not a ...

Hi all, A quick story about us and Moscow: Friday 10-08 Early in the morning we were at the Barajas airport to take our flight to Moscow and at 10.00 am we are leaving Madrid thought the air. The time difference between both cities were 5 hours so we had enough time to take the taxis in Domodovo airport to go to the guest house we booked in Madrid. The distance between the ...
