I was in Russia over fifteen years ago. I remember mostly the trash on the streets, the Taco Bell in the subway, men painting buildings in the middle of January, the crush of automobiles, carrying pepper spray in my right hand always, eating in the only Moscow McDonalds, and the street artists and vendors. Has anything changed? And if it has, how? Nice pic, by the way.
Thank you. Yes, Moscow changed a lot! You should visit again!
I would love to visit Moscow again. Is that where you live now? You are actually quite beautiful. My name is Chuck. I live in the US in Denver, CO. Anyway, for all the weirdness that was my first trip to Russia I really enjoyed it all.
that's great!
