This is the first post from Russia. After I spent almost a day on the plane I finally got to Moscow. The first step was to get from Cape Town to Dubai. Fight was okay; just the onboard service was lacking quality. They forgot when serving dinner… and after they figured that out, they were almost about to collect it again. Something similar happen with the breakfast, just with the little difference, that I never got served… wtf?
Dubai Airport itself is quite busy, lots of shops, but not really interesting, just quite expensive. The second flight was also quite okay, they only forgot to serve me drinks that this time… well seems like Emirates isn’t as good as their commercials…
After my group arrived we all took a bus to our hotel, which is huge… consisting of 4 towers with a complete number of 4600 rooms. It’s like living in a small city in a house. Due to our lack of Russian, the only thing we were able to eat so far was a kebab… well, at least we got food.
Yesterday, we visited the Kremlin, the old core of Moscow. Been to some churches, saw some graves, like the one Ivan ‘The Terrible’ and went to the Red Place probably the most famous sight of Moscow, the Red Square. This is the church one might know from the start screen of Tetris. In the afternoon we heard a lecture in Russian (simultaneously translated to German) at the Lomonossov University. Well let’s say it was ‘interesting’. Hopefully the tourism part will be the bigger one for the next days… these lectures are not really that cool… but we’re here to work, eh?
