you stay classy moscow

Two weeks into the trip and still there is no word about beautiful (but cold) Moscow on our blog. With great anticipation we arrived in Moscow promptly meeting with a group of kids form Wittenberg, an obscure college in Ohio. That night we had an Б─°authenticБ─² Russian meal with Russian students studying English. The Russian students proved to be very helpful throughout the entire week. They were endlessly patient and cheerful while dealing with students who essentially spoke no Russian; although I should mention ZoloБ─≥s mad Russian skills which we often forced him to use when none of the Russian students were around.

The highlight of the trip to Moscow was the tour of the Kremlin and seeing the often photographed St. Basils with my very own eyes. At first I will admit I was not fond of Russia, but by the end of the trip I was sad to leave. Despite the expense of the city, the numerous tours and variety of lectures in addition to the nightlife made Moscow a memorable experience. As Evan said best, Б─°You stay classy MoscowБ─². Final purple hair count: 11.
