We arrived in Moscow early in the morning, too early to get our heads round the Eussian alphabet. Once we had worked out what the letters were, they still didn't make any sense cos the words were all in Russian, but we got by somehow.
We found some friendly people in Moscow, but we got some very cold stares as well. The metro is amazing, but I was knocked out of my chair by a scary babushka, who obviously had no sympathy for me with my huge backpack.In one shop we went to, we were given such a horrible cold stare by the shop assistant that we felt compelled to leave without buying anything. The city certainly isn't geared for tourism.The architecture made up for it in a way, but we were glad to be on our way!
