Moskau

Hostel Simba, Day 4

Uncle Lenin sleeps in his mausoleum. Seeing that was one of many musts I'll be facing during the next months. Done that Now, as well as Kreml, Gum, War memorial and so on. Moscow is a huge metropol where serious, blackdressed and modern Russians live their lives. It can mean beeing a guard of a mall or worryfree hostel worker. Whatever guys do here, they do it in real Russian style. And the next morning they use the spectacularly beautiful metro system to come back for another day at work.

Meanwhile,

I am here trying to find  the balance between a tourist and a (round the world) traveller. Updates coming up!

Speaking about the metro, i can not call it very VIP-friendly. The first photo below is a stop list, located high above my eyes on top of the metro door. I could not see it and trying to do that I was on the way! In addiktin, it was more or less the first list of stops I met. Thank god the street furniture, signs, guidelinesis there are loads of good examples too!!! Btw, pic2: can you see the stairs?? 

-if not, Don't worry !!..there is a ramp for vip's with Red carpet! Haha! Picture is from the museum of great patriotic war.

Moscow Bottom2: prices & our hostel kitchen.

Moscow Top2: kick-off & see next paragraph!

The absolute climax for 3 interesting days in the capital of Russia was dinner tonight. Thanks to my iPhone and Olli's paper map we were able to find restaurant called Dans le Noir. It is one of the total dark restaurants in Europe simulating the life of a blind person. Yes u know this is important to me on so many levels, but doing the experience with waiters who know hardly any English made it unique! Besides, the food was tasty!

Our room here on Arabat street is pretty much the size of a cleaning closet. Who cares? Moscow was a nice kick-off for an adventure. My plan for the upcoming days; Make a dream happen...
