Birthday Greetings For A Crush

Moscow

We then arrived in Moscow this morning. The ride was horrible! Lousy road conditions, not only because of the bad weather and the traffic, but also because of the huge potholes. Because you can drive on dirt roads in Germany, faster and more pleasant.
Accordingly, we were all tired and totally ready. Unfortunately we had upon arrival at the Red Square begin the sightseeing tour and we could not absorb all the information because we were all so ready yet.
But Moscow is truly gigantic. With over 10 million inhabitants, it is a world metropolis. Skyscrapers, slums, huge roads ... A very spacious city. It is always a Kind of fog over the city, rather smog.
very strong police presence. Very impressive building. Kremlin and Red Square are probably the most important and popular tourist attraction. There is also the Lenin Mausoleum.
evening we were back on the road. Some people from our tour group, have unfortunately had some bad experiences in Moscow. They had to buy themselves free from the police because they had no passport there. Or others were robbed at a police check by the police themselves. Still others came in a disco in a drug raid.
quickly became clear to us in Moscow, where the clocks run the other. We felt insecure and so we were glad when we are 3 days later again were in Finland.
had the next day in Moscow we have a guided tour of the Kremlin. The design was very interesting. In the afternoon we were still in the Polytechnical Museum. And in the evening we drove back to St. Petersburg.
Moscow is compared to St. Petersburg is a cosmopolitan city. A huge city and wares city life with all the good and bad sides. The metro is very impressive. You feel like in a museum, because all the walls and ceilings are decorated so beautifully.
But I think it is in Moscow is not without its dangers. I would not go on your own to Moscow and rumspazieren not alone there.
St. Petersburg seemed to me but sumptuous and stylish because of all the palaces.
We were still a day and a night in St. Petersburg and then drove on the last day back to Finland to Turku, where we drove through the night with the ferry to Stockholm. Total
was the Russia trip a great experience. Russia is absolutely worth seeing and so a road trip was also (mostly) fun.

St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg has more than 4 million inhabitants and is the northernmost metropolis in the world. It lies at the mouth of Newas in the Baltic Sea. When we arrived in the evening in St. Petersburg, was probably just rush hour, the n we wandered over an hour around the city until we arrived at our hotel. The Azimut Hotel is the largest hotel in St. Petersburg. Some getting used to was ever the fact that we got a smoking room. Also in the hotel lobby, bar and restaurant was smoke everywhere. Since we know then how valuable is the smoking ban in our home. But is not surprising that so many smoke in Russia. You can buy a pack of cigarettes for 15-50 rubles (0.5 - 1.5 €). In general we can say that the cost of your daily needs are probably very low. Vodka can be bought for 50 rubles already. A bottle of beer for 20 rubles.
In restaurants, bars and clubs, however, the prices quite Europeanized. Since then you pay for a beer at least 100 rubles and 300 rubles for a cocktail, for example.
We were informed in advance that it may be that the water in the hotel is brown. In addition, we were advised not to drink it because it is contaminated by bacteria and because we are not used. It was then also the case that was hanging in the bathroom of our hotel room a note that the hotel management regrets the quality of the water, but it apparently is in all of St. Petersburg. The water was then slightly yellowish and smelled a little strict. It reminded stop at just rusty water and smelled of iron. Toothbrushing was tough at the border. The shower was not fun. The "broth" was really disgusting ...
We are on the first evening, then gone off a little and have finally landed at a Chinese restaurant.
was Then the next day sightseeing tour. Have many palaces looked and a few churches. Afternoon we went to the Hermitage. This is one of the largest museums in the world. Can it compare very well with the Louvre in Paris.
evening we were in a club. There was ska music played live with rap combined. Was all right. The next day we are
then to the Catherine Palace. Was very interesting. There was also a replica of the Amber Room, which was rather disappointing.
afternoon we had for free. There we were on St. Isaac Cathedral.
the evening are we left in the direction of Moscow. We drove through the night.
On the whole I really liked St. Petersburg. A very large city with numerous attractions. There are some huge and very wide streets there. Compared to Moscow, it seems more comfortable and has a very good cultural scene (bands, various artists, ...)
In comparison to Moscow, he also little to see police and you feel safer. Right, less police = peace of mind! It sounds paradoxical, but it really is so ... For large cities it was
in St. Petersburg and Moscow, relatively clean (except the water in St. Petersburg). Sorry we found out that actually very few Russians speak English or understand. The younger generation speaks English but sometimes a bad.

Russian border

We drove west towards St. Petersburg, Russia. The snow was more along the road and it snowed every now and then. We made just before Russia even stop at a rest stop and strengthened us for the upcoming border controls (stress on the majority!).
A few hundred yards from the Finnish border control our bus driver made us aware that we should not take photographs or film. The Finnish control was relatively harmless. We all got off the bus, equipped with our passport. We did not have to wait a long time. Everyone had to switch to a single step forward and hand over the passport to the Finnish border permanent officials. The checked-in short, the data and you could durchmaschieren through the barrier. EU bye ....
We all got back in our bus and off we went through the no man's land. After about 500 m, we passed the actual border. We put our clocks back one hour before, as West, Russia has its own time zone (MSK). Shortly after we were stopped from the very first barrier. There was a Russian soldier out of a picture book in our bus. With Russian winter hat, coat, gloves and face grim. He once walked completely through the bus and we held up our passports. Check whether there really has any individual passports.
Then we moved. You could tell from the bus that you were in another country. Suddenly the power lines hung a little crazy at the poles, and hung them almost to the ground or the cable was open and looked out the different leads wild. The woods seemed to be gepfelgt not quite as good as in Finland or Sweden. Finally, we drove by even a kind of "death zone". As far as we could look was a wide swath through the woods beaten. There was a high fence with barbed wire. Again and again, watch towers, which juts out over the treetops. Then we finally came
main control. We had the bus left again and should take only our passport. The border control buildings had to wait then. Again everyone had to individually stand before a switch. This time, however, were only half as many switches open and the Russian border officials did their job thoroughly and pushed. Well ...
We had already received at our visa application with a full-page visa sticker in your passport. In the run we had to fill even our immigration card. Visa and migration card will be stamped at the border now. The organizer of the trip and the bus driver warned us again and again, that in the run already, but time and again during the bus trip: "You can loose everything, but NOT your passport! Never give it away, keep it always on your body! "
had, we all travel on a more strenuous and strained relationship with our passport and migration card.
We had to go to border control are still waiting in the building, because the bus was still examined from all sides. The trunks were all inspected ...
short time later we were finally back in our bus. 1-2 km to the main control, we were back at a barrier. Again, a border guard came on the bus, which now wanted to see the entire migration, including Visa card and two stamps.
That's it for now but. Maybe 1-1.5 hours took the Finnish-Russian border to happen. Was my opinion very creepy and kind of like in movies. So many of our prejudices were confirmed.
Now we can thus take back full speed towards St. Petersburg. Well, full speed would be excessive, because the condition of roads is partly miserable. Even as we of St. Petersburg to Moscow went where supposed to be a highway made that the shock of the bus can not be compensated from the huge road damage.

Thanksgiving and Niagara Falls






Last Thursday, 27 November was Thanksgiving in the U.S.. One of the special holiday for the Americans, almost all students, family members, which are distributed all over the country come for the long weekend at home with the family to celebrate Thanksgiving together. Very traditionally is served with almost every family a Turky with mashed potatoes and gravy as a main course, what Turkey enters the coma because it is simply done far too much food. Football runs in the traditional TV and after all the eating, the majority show a nap or watch a football.
The next day, the so-called "Black Friday" is the Christmas shopping season opened. Shops like Walmart, JCPenny, Sears and so on and so on, simply every business has reduced drastically the prices for certain items. Some shops open at 4:00 in the morning and hundreds of people are lining up hours before one of the super cheap flat screen TV or other limited items to get hold of. The sales are ongoing in most shops as of 4:00 am to 11:00 am, then what is left, if anything is left, then for the regular price sales. Deanna and I went to Walmart in Fredonia, we are just good time before the doors were opened and were able to witness arrived as hundreds of people streamed into the store at the same time are in the store a shoving and jostling, people to run as the first to be with the products.
same afternoon, my parents, Elizabeth and I drove to Niagara Falls and have spent the night there. On the same evening, Floyd, Deanna and I went to the casino, for me the first time. Elizabeth stayed in the hotel because they had vorbereiden homework and two presentations. We have "slot machines" (slot machines?) Played, I've made my CAN $ 28 CAN $ 75. The next day we went to a wine tasting at Niagara on the Lake and have then again made their way home. The annoying thing about the whole trip, is to wait at the border and to answer stupid questions from the border police.
