russian trip - moscow 9th apr

woke up in the morning and went for breakfast..it was markus' birthday so i sent him a text message. we went up to our rooms and checked out. deposited our luggage in the train station..had to find the right one cos there were soooo many of them. and then we decided to take a lazy day and just visit the cathedral with the 9 domes on the red square. but first..we'll have lunch at the place we first had lunch in moscow. we then split up cos the rest wanted to go to a gift market and we kept walking cos arthur wanted to 'pass time'. it was damn cold cos the wind was really really strong. had some coffee..then dinner..then went back to the train station.

remember. this means u can ONLY walk on the white lines.


i forgot to mention that on hindsight..i finally realized why 90% of pedestrian crossings in moscow are underground. given the speed the vehicles go at..even traffic lights can't save that much lives. and there's also why the metro network in moscow is so dense and frequent and efficient..though they do not give warning about closing doors and i got trapped between the doors =S damn scary also.

anyways we took the train to st petersburg. it was so horrible that it was really amusing. the temperature was biting cold outside and amazingly..it was so warm inside that we could sweat. and in the train from helsinki to moscow..there were 4 in a compartment. now..take out the door and the compartment..same bed..but a little smaller..and add 2 more beds 1 on top of the other along the side corridor. that's our train. the light was so dim it wasn't really light. and the windows can't be opened. and the beds are so small it was just right for my height. it was so amazing that i think it's damn funny and one hell of an experience and quite fun actually. oh and the french canadian guy sleeping in the bed next to me basically started taking off his shirt and jeans and slept in his underwear -_-" and his girl came and lied on top of him and they started kissing and i basically saw no evil and carried on talking to this smu guy sleeping along the 'corridor'. didnt manage to wash my face or wat and just slept. the train is due to arrive at 6.35am tomorrow morning.
