Dirty Dirty Moscow, Russia
I have several Russian friends. Those I like and I have said that I would like to visit in Russia once. History of the nation is interesting and there is probably lots of things to see. The trip I was planning, was including Ice-Hockey World Championship competition. Early battles between team Finland and Team Sweden, even we didn't play against each others. Interesting part was the problem to get to Moscow. I quess that Russian government tries to do much to avoid smooth entry to Moscow.
First of all, you cannot use your credit card anywhere. Where ever you are going to use it, you lose it...or numbers. Also, no matter how much you try to found official taxis, you cannot found but luckyly almost every men in Moscow owns car and they are providing you illegal taxitrips without any moral or understand of pricing. They try to get all your money and no matter how short the taxi trip is, there are no hesitation trying to get 1000 local currency (about 33 EUR). Also, there seems that there is no pubs in Moscow, every single bar seems to be some kind of tit bar providing prostitutions. I selected then hotel lobby bar, because that was clean.
There was some kind of study, that Moscow is the worlds most expensive city. I agree. Moscow is too expensive and scary city to visit ever again. That was my definetely last trip to Moscow ever. For me, there is nothing to see, only lots of things to loose.
