City Guide Moscow, Russia

Lovely place

After mastering the visa game, I was honestly astonished that the food in Moscow was so delicious and of high quality. The tube is more reliable than elsewhere and also nourishes the eye. There were never problems except for some guys who wanted to play. But I got rid of them quickly talking in a lnaguage they didn't understand.

Moscow: The city that never sleeps

As the song says, Moscow NEVER sleeps!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lublu tybiaaa Moskvaaa, hehe. Okay, this was my second time in Moscow and just like the first time I felt in love with this city. At first Russian might seem cold and unfriendly and for the most part this is the truth because that is part of their culture.
