Moscow - Finally in Russia!!







I have been arriving in Moscow, not knowing yet where I was going to sleep. All I had was a paper with some phone nombers of friends of Sam, the Hospitalityclub-guy, at whose place I as staying in Kiev. So the first few hours after my arrival in Moscow I spent them at the trainstation, looking for possibilities to call or e-mail, buying and traying different phonecards and bad-working internetplaces. I also had to find a place, where I could leave my luggage for some hours and I needed to buy my ticket to Nizhny Novgorod for the next day. What a surprise! No ticket for the next day, I had to buy for a day later, which meant I had to ask Sams friends to host me not only for one, but even for thwo nights... And I still couldnt reach them at noon...At about 1 o' clock I just got fed up, decided to enjoy my time in Moscow, even if I didnt know where to sleep, bought a metro ticket, and went to discover the city...It happend to be the anniversary-day of the city, so there were many events on all the squares...I was walking around, enjoying it...Oh yes, and in the VanillaskyCafe I had some very nice japanese cousins for lunch! :-)
In the evening I met one of Sams friends and it was no problem to stay there for two nights. So first russian experiences where very positive!
