Notes from Moscow

---

I am already in Love with Moscow. We are told its warm this week (-6C), however there is a biting wind (-12C) that freezes your face off. We've been to all the famous sights including Red Square, the Kremlin, St Basils Cathedral and the GUM store. Yesterday we visited the statue park to hang with retired sculptures of Lenin and Stalin, mixed with new sculptures of everything from houses to ice pigs. We've got lost on the metro several times now, ending up at the other side of town, however each station is a marvel in itself and was worth the journey. Yesterday a man oinked like a pig at us in the street, but overall the people here are really friendly. We've been really lucky at the hostel, where we met a Latvian man whose catchfrase is "where is your glass?", and procedes to fill it to the brim with champagne. Tomorrow we will visit Lenin in his tomb, before catching the train to Beijing.

I will eventually get some more photos up - but it takes ages on this computer, and it is rare to get a slot online.

Beijing here we come...
