The trip to Moscow had been very relaxing. Not too long, neither was it too short. Thai Airways certainly made the flight from Bangkok to Moscow a 9 hour stress free flight. Touching down at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport, I walked straight up to the immigration counter and believe me, the amount of English that they know is ... So, this officer asked me where did I fly from and I answered, "Bangkok". Then she asked me again and I answered the same thing. I didn't know what hit her when suddenly she said, "Lithuania?!" I said, "No no, B-A-N-G-K-O-K". OK, that was fun. Seriously.
Coming out from the airport , I wasn't too disappointed since I've been told not to expect much. It's hard to describe but it does seem a little "dodgy" if that's the word to describe the first look at Moscow, well not literally.
So here we are. Moscow. I am feeling quite excited actually because the drivers here are AMAZING. There's just so much to see here in Moscow. Days 1 & 2 have been enjoyable for me.
On my first day, I followed my brother to a Psychology lesson. It was rather interesting as I had heard of some stuff from when I was studying Sociology at uni. There were some similarities between Russian and German too, i.e. Bibliotheka - Bibliothek which both means library.
Not too friendly people, these Muscovites are. All in all, it's all good. Cigarettes are cheap as well.
Around RM5 could get you a box of 20 Marlboros. Now, that's what I'm talking about.
I shall now leave you all with some photos. Await my next update!
