Moscow
Earlier this year I
was given a unique opportunity to work in
Moscow, Russia. During
my visit as well as meeting some great work
colleagues I was able to spend some time in
the city visiting the likes of Red Square
and the Kremlin. My hotel, The Renaissance was
situated next to the Moscow Olympic
Stadium erected for the 1980
games.
The city was not what I had expected, it was much
more and is definitely a place I hope to spend
more time getting to know in the future. The
locals I met where friendly and very interesting
and I was lucky not to have experienced many
language problems. It's weird but having visited
Russia the world almost feels smaller now. If you
ever get such an opportunity to visit Moscow I
would tell you to jump at it, everything about it
is interesting from its history, the people, the
architecture, it's culture and the treasures such
as the Fabergé
Eggs found in the Kremlin.
The weather was cold, it averaged around -10
degrees Celsius, but dropped as low as -27
according to the local news, we also experienced
20 cm of snow fall on some days. As well as the
50 plus photographs which I've posted tonight I
also took some video footage using my Sony
digital still camera. depending on how this turns
out when edited I hope to post this in the next
week or so. Until them you can click here or on the
photograph above to view my Moscow photo album.
