Now might be a good time to mention that I made it home for the holidays. My last week in Moscow was a busy one, full of visiting new friends, getting Christmas gifts, taking copious photographs of Moscow in the snow (n.b. Moscow is SO beautiful in the snow), having snowball fights at 1am at the dorm....lots of different things. The only 2 negatives were my cold and having to leave Moscow. Since I've been back in the UK I've actually really missed Moscow. I got really comfortable there and was enjoying the way of life. Obviously things were more difficult than life here in the UK, but I enjoyed it. The trains & subway ran on time, there was plenty of space, no annoying tourists who stop in the middle of the street to point at things, cheap transport, cheap food & drink.....I mean Russia vastly exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to go back!
