Здравствуйте!
Just got back from a long weekend in Moscow. Went for a work trip to run some team-building at our office there, involving spaghetti, marshmallows and a series of safety helmets (let's just say I'm glad I didn't have my bag scanned as I don't think my Russian language skills are up to explaining!).
After work on Friday I joined the team at their Christmas do and was roped into participating in various party games I haven't seen since SUPA days, with a whole new dimension added by including vodka and the cyrillic alphabet...I then had the whole day on Saturday and half of Sunday to have a look around. Here's some pics:
Obligatory Red Square/Cathedral shot.
This was really beautiful - metal tree sculptures on a bridge in the middle of the city. It's a tradition for newly married couples to attach a padlock and take the key away with them to ensure a lasting marriage.
Other highlights include figuring out the metro system and walking up the sparrow mountains at sunset to see the city lights and the state university - thanks Nastia!
