Moscow

6th of August Moscow
Yesterday was completely good day, I enjoyed it really mach.
Firstly me and Lara went to the Kievskaya railway station to change grivnas as no where in the city is possible to do (Quite strange for me). The station is big and not structured; U can easily lost, as inscriptions are really small. Second thing I dislike it’s a lot of people that try to sale u something, also I’ve seen a lot of Asia people, they where dirty and some of them drunk (still we will need to visit this place once againL) – but it was the only one not comfortable thing about yesterday.
While passing underground Passage between the lines I heard beautiful music, some man played on violin, I really love it in subways, the acoustic is really good and u can hear the melody even near the trains. I don’t remember the song but for sure it was on of my favorite as I was almost flying listening to it. I felt my self truly happy being here.
Then we met with other facies that ware still in Moscow (me, Lara, Bashya, Riza, Aigul and Marina). And our tour started.
We started from Peace prospect and were going down the street to Kremlin. Almost all street was under contraction, a lot of workers, all buildings are covered, but in Ukraine if even they cover the building it just about passers-by safety, they don’t care about beauty. Here is buildings are covered everywhere where is repairing going and it looks really good.
Than we came to Kremlin and spend there a lot of time, just walking around the Red squire. Unfortunately we didn’t visit Lenin mavzoley as it was closed. But we’ve been to the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, I felt in love with the architecture of it. I recognize that u don’t get tired of watching on that beautiful church.
Generally inside the square it’s looks like in some tails: the red buildings, cathedral, park, everything so beautiful and clean, a lot of flowers and even much more tourists.
Then we’ve been to the park, the grass is really comfortable to sit, a lot’s of flowers everywhere, also there was a lake on which we could see different tail’s heroes. – I loved the park – it remained me parks from American movies. After we visited the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, it situated near the river Moscow also there is a bridge for pedestrians, from where u can see Kremlin and some other architectural buildings.
The last thing from our tour was Old Arbat street. Generally It’s something like Stometrivka in Franik, but much more bigger with souvenirs shops everywhere, with lots of people. There I liked the most different painting pictures and bought some souvenirs but the prices are really high, so can’t offer for my self muchL.
AT HOME:
We (me, Lara and Riza) back home really tired, I couldn’t walk after such a trip the same as others.
And than was one of the best evenings in Moscow, firstly we were speaking with Vera – the intern from Slovakia (she lives with us), than I was just speaking with Lara, so good to share stories, problems, dreams, - thank u Larusha for great evening talks I enjoyed it really much – suddenly at that moment I truly understood that I have vacation, and I’m resting!!!!! My phone is blocked so I cannot call or write sms, I don’t have internet access so I don’t know what is happening in LC, - and I realize that it really good as if I have a chance to call or to write something I would do it – but what the reason for it?? Just spend my money?? As still I’m in Moscow and will not back anthill Friday. So it was just needed rest for me before backing home, when u don’t think about ur problems, what u need to do when came back home, just caching all good memories, laughing from fanny staff.
One more special thing, when we were sitting on a kitchen with Lara, Riza came to us, - he came to say Good-bye, as they were leaving in the morning. It was so special words, I thought he will cry, Riza is that kind of man that every women is dreaming about, - kind, friendly, fanny, thankful, thank u my dear friend, my doors are always opened for u.

First day in Moscow (28th of July)

It was quite long but really interesting day, especially when u getting lost 4 times per day. But let’s start from every beginning.
At 5 o’clock (UA time) or 6 o’clock (RU time) me and Lara finally got to Moscow railway station J. Before that we where speaking and I said that have such a filling that nobody will meet us.. Well when we got out the train I understood that I was right. The main point that we didn’t have any phone numbers, addresses.. for first half an hour we were waiting with hope that somebody overslept and will take us from the station, but then we understood that nobody will. So at 5:30 ua time Lara was calling to Bogdan – as he is the only one who wasn’t on LDS so could help to find some telephone numbers. I can imagine Bogdan’s face after such calling but what could we do ;) So after 2 hour standing near the station, 70 grivnas losing for telephone conversations we got a sms from girl that is supposed to pick us up!! Yra!!!
Then we got squinted with Moscow metropolitan – well I like Kiev’s metro better, but what I really enjoyed there are pictures, different paintings on the walls insight the metro and one more thing that there some part where metro is going outside the tunnel so u can see buildings, nature, - one of such a road is going across the bridge. Ow till this time it’s the best what I have already seen in Moscow – it’s really amazing, especially when it’s sunset and the river is lighted with 1000ts of Flashlights and at the back site u see Hugh buildings lighted as well, somehow it’s reminds me pictures with New York city J really really amazing.
Well we are living in one of sleeping district – me Lara and Riza we even don’t know who is the owner of the flat we are living in, rest facis live in MC flats (they have 2 of them + office). And the pre meetings are taking parts in the other site of the city to take there we need 1,5 hour to take there.
The pre meeting was quite good but we were so tired… When it was time for lunch we went to the supermarket to buy something to eat (the cheapest market here is Kopijka).. and on the way back we lost other facies who new the way back so me Lara and Marina (MC RD) lost in one of the sleeping district of Moscow. I hate sleeping parts of Moscow as all buildings are the same, so if u don’t know the number of house u will never find it.
So we started to search about our building (without knowing what street do we need, what building number, even flat number or code), final we found some similar buildings that we have seen before. We might call to somebody but me and Marina forget their phones at flat ad Lara had mines 25 grivnas so she couldn’t call. So we were going by for half an hour with out any results, then the rain started ….. we stood at some pidjzd and were laughing about our self’s. Then real Thunderstorm started with the lightning and thunders, some men even allowed us to come insight the pidjzd. But after 1 hour we understood that nobody is searching for us we decided do not wait until the rain will stop and just go. The next trying was to scream near the windows of similar houses – maybe it’s ours – but It also didn’t work. Then we got another brilliant idea, it’s looked like flash mob – we decided to ask people about mobile to call rest facies – YRA!! It is worked, we found men that was so polite with us and gave the mobile to call (but for sure his girlfriend at that time was not happy, she was screaming on him almost all those 5 minutes we were standing together). He-he we did it!!! It doesn’t meter that facies were already working for 2 hour and we were still hungry we found the place!!!!
In the evening when me Lara and Riza was backing home we lost our stop so we spend in metro not 1 hour as it’s supposed to be but 1,5 J at the and we got out in the other site from metro so we were searching for proper way to the homeJ so this day I called LOSTING DAY
Stay turned

P.S just got to know today we will have to more people in our flat – 2 Turkish guys J
