On Sunday, May 10th Russia beat Canada in the World Hockey Championships and Moscow went a bit crazy.  I watched the game with friends at the TGI Friday’s on Tverskaya Street.  After the buzzer sounded we joined the multitudes of celebrating Russians along Tverskaya between Pus…

Today we were completely 'guideless'. We took the subway to the Red Square to visit the mausoleum of Lenin. We were lucky; today was a very quiet day and no queues, so it was literally in and out in five minutes. The sight of the world's (second?)most famous mummy is surreal. Because the mummificat…

February 23 is a national holiday, The Day of Defenders of the Motherland, celebrated as Men’s Day here, and ��" what it more important for a lazy girl like me ��" a day off J   This year it falls on the first day of Maslenitsa, Russian Carnival, the last week before the Great Len…

March 8 is a national holiday in Russia, Women’s Day and a day off. I didn’t know about my plans until late, travelling to see a friend was an option but since he was very busy again L I was open to suggestions.   A couple of times per year I join my mom for a ‘vegetable’ weekend so…

Part II: Touring Moscow on Foot, Underground and with my rather disagreeable colleague Peter (the Brit) This is the second part of my visit to Moscow: the first was the business nature of it. It was now late November and the flowered trees that I had seen in September were gone…

I had a down day and was slowly making my way home with my hands full of yoghurt, milk and some other regular food from my local supermarket. Why not to check my mail? • thought I (yeah, mail, not emailJ) ...and......yoooooooooooo!!! a piece of cartoon at the bottom of my mailbox. A postcard feat…

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia), Giuseppe (Italy) Our first day in Moscow was spent once again searching out the Chinese embassy and eventually finding it to be told it only works from 9am till noon everyday! Next step was to register my visa as i had h…

We left Yaroslavl in the early morning. Travelling back to Moscow. On our way we did visit the famous monastery Holy-Trinity St. Sergius Lavra. In Moscow we had a couple of hours to spend before going on the nighttrain to Petrozavodsk (Karelia). Finally got to the Red Square!!

Due to the lack of food and excessive alcomahol the night before I was well hung over when I woke up for my last day in Moscow. Somehow I had to make it to the Tretyakov Gallery for my last stint of sightseeing in Moscow. It was a struggle of epic proportions to get out of bed and out the door. But…

Photos from Moscow from last few years all mixed.

I went to Moscow, again... I guess this was the last time for some uncertain period. I am a bit tired and confused. I had great time, though I can't say I made it to MAKS, the aviation exhibition. The story is complicated. And it was terribly hot, so we spent a lot of time in Evropeiskij - the shop…
