Moscow

I know it's a very belated post, but since I'm back to school, there's not much happening...

SO ! I'm going to talk about my 2 weeks in Japan in March~April of this year. I hope you won't get bored (＞_＜)

(I was sadly still using my old camera... （/TДT)/)

But before landing in Tokyo, we had a stopover in Moscow. I was actually pretty excited to visit Moscow. We were there from 6AM to 9PM, it was a real chance !

Hope you remember my dad. I spent these 2 weeks with him (^-^)

Probably the worst thing I ever ate in an airplane

рубль !

First stop in a Starbucks in the airport, waiting for our train

Mmh... soft focus ?

SNCB, please look

Sexy airplane hair (￣∇￣+)

The picture is a bit blurry but the subway looked quite cool

Escalator to the moon ! WTF ( °д°)

First we went to the Red Square. The train ride was a bit long, therefore we decided to play the tourists and just go to the popular must-see.

Try to spot my dad

Then, since we're Belgian-Italians no used to this freezing cold, we went to ГУМ (pronounced goom), a quite impressive department store.

We stopped to get something hot to drink ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ

We headed to Alexander Garden but decided to alongside instead.

And it was already 3PM and we were two hungry people (food takes a big part of our travels). We went to My My (if I remember right). It may not have been the best place to try Russian cooking but we liked the cow in front of the shop (^ω^)

It was all marinaded food and after a few bites I was close to throw up. I don't know if my stomach is too weak or if the food isn't easily suitable. My dad actually managed to finish more than half of it, but wasn't feeling well.

Maybe you already know Le Pain Quotidien. It's a Belgian production so we were somehow proud

Большой Театр, the Bolchoï !

Two pastries we bought in a little market

It was already time to take the aeroexpress and get back to the airport ｡ﾟ(T^T)ﾟ｡. Having slept maybe 3 hours in two days, it was a pretty long day but we didn't even feel the jet lag (^-^)

Back in the Starbucks (・∀・)

This man has no manners

Happy to leave Russia

Tell me more, tell me more !

Watching Big Fish with my breakfast, crêpes~

Filling some papers before getting out of the plane

Except the fact it was very cold, I liked the city itself. But (I'm not generalizing the Russian here), I only met really unpleasant people, starting at the airport. They were as cold as their city and didn't even want to talk English or anything else than Russian. I was almost afraid to move as they were getting angry at little thing.

I don't claim to now every Russian, I'm just talking about those we met. But it was so stressful I would actually hesitate to go back.
