Ok thats a bit of a lie. I went out last night to find a bar to watch the football. this was an abject failure, I found an Irish bar where I brought an extortionately priced beer and watched a bizarre Russian bluesy rock band before heading back to the hostel to listen to talksport on my iPhone. Thats a lesson in how to immerse yourself in a new culture...
Today I decided in a panicked moment that my Russian was never going to hold up to buying all these random Trans-Siberian tickets in advance so I cheated by booking through an agency... On the bright side as I've chosen to spend most of my time travelling by night I should have saved a fair bit of cash (thats what I keep telling myself anyway)
Anyway off out to take pictures of the the things I forgot to photograph yesterday. I don't think I'll ever get used to this photography lark...
hi mate, reading your updates and enjoying your misery(what did you expect in moscow). as you did not see the england game let me give you description of the game.
ReplyDeleteimagine the algeria game in the world cup...that was about it, same sort of game except this time had the pleasure of watching Kevin Davies play for england.
on the plus side Lennon picked up an injury in training so we may see bentley in spurs shirt again, i bet moscow doesn't look so bad now.
ta ta for now
