Hello!
Wooah my time here in Moscow (exactly 2 weeks already) have been full of program and tours and meeting up with new people etc. This city has so much to offer, you just have to know where to find the information (and know some Russian :D).
So, what have I been doing?
1. We went to a military concert on the red square.
It was rather expensive but definitively worth it! Russians are patriotic and the show was amazing!
2. We wen to Izmailovo market and the Kreml
3. We went to the Tsar's (reconctructured) summer palace Kolomenskoye
The wooden palace was reconstructed in 2010 according to the original plan.
4. We have been eating out a lot
The ruble is so weak that it is extremely cheap to eat out. Our kitchen in the dormitory is also very poorly equipped so we´ll probably lose weight here because we can't cook :D
5. I have walked around in the neighborhood of the university
The main building is close to the red square, the shopping center Gum and the rest of the old city center.
6. I went to the first lecture.
More about the lecture later. Most of the courses will start next week or even later. I have some problems here with the courses since some courses that I was supposed to attend to aren't organized. At least most of the staff here is very friendly!
