Moscow!
Sunday, 14th March 2010
I arrived in Moscow yesterday (Saturday 3/13) at 10:45AM. The experience at the airport was weird but understandable. People surrounded us and stared at the 4 blacks in our group of 25. Apparently, blacks do not regularly arrive at the Moscow International Airport. I recently learned that their were only approximately 10,000 blacks among roughly 18 million Moscovites.
I enjoyed the scenery on the way to the hotel. Good mix of old (designs and contemporary buildings… lots of Ladas and trams on the street (along with the modern vehicles one would expect to find in a major metropolitan area).
Will try to upgrade this thread if I come across anything interesting.
