Moscow part I

There we are - Moscow, the capital of Russia... An army of matryoshkas waited for us..

 
Julia, Eva and Jo in the pedestrian zone in Moscow. Julia - 20 year old party girl - is studying mathematics and hosted us during our stay in Moscow. What more can we say than "spasiba!" (= Thank you). It was just great to go out with her and her friends, cook typical bavarian food for her family (Rouladen, Klöse and Blaukraut), and talk to her mother.

 
Saint Basil's Cathedral at the red square

The GUM - the fancy shopping mall for the rich people at the red square.

Old russian lady feeding the pigeons near to the read square

Russian horses don't like water. So what to do? They jump out and look for some vodka near to the Kremlin :-)

Russians love German beer... More for that in the next posts.

Mc. Walk...

A typical metro station in Moscow: Always a eye-catcher. Very clean, an impressive architecture and in every station a person who takes care that you are not falling at the end of the escalators.

On the roof of a metro station: A relict to Soviet times.

The university of Moscow. Normally there is a good lookout place on the top of the building. But it was not allowed for us to go there as we were supposed to be German spies. That´s a true story!
At night you can find around the university a lot of rich Russian kids that take out their cars for playing "The fast and the furious". A pair of new tires for one evening is nothing!!!

By the way... In Moscow you can find so many German luxury cars as we never saw before. But only the real big ones: Mercedes S class, Maybach, Audi A8, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg...

At the university you also have a great view over the city of Moscow.
