Once upon a time in Moscow

Hello my lovely friends! It happened that I had to go and I went to Moscow, but since it’s  not an endless city I returned back to the city on the Neva. But even in the short time that I was in the Russian capital I collected some information, experiences and photos, that decided to share with you my friends! And I’m just a cunning fox as I am lazy (and don’t have much time) to tell and send photos to all the friends so I find it easier to say once and copy the link of the blog many times 🙂 . Yes, the high-speed 21st century dictates its own rules while Nokia is still connecting people)

My purpose of going to Moscow was job-training about which I won’t tell you here I suppose. As they say a girl should be a little puzzle/secret, and as I am most of the time an opened book, then let Pac Group will be a little bit of mystery of my life… have I just written it?? !! Oh, yeah, of course…

So…Moscow that does not believe in tears, never sleeps and Moscow that is calling… I will not say much about the most popular attractions such as Red Square, the Kremlin and so on but share my little surprises about the city. Upon arrival in the capital of Russia I looked in a Russian searching engine for unusual places to visit in Moscow. Of course I found lots of interesting things but alas could actually visit only 0.0001 out of the list. For example while meeting with my good old friend we went to the hotel “Ukraine” (wait! I am not sharing any private life, ahaha, continue reading please), as there was the Kremlin’s layout. I must say the hotel itself was very impressive by its grandeur and luxury. As it turned out afterwards, the majority of people living and visiting  the capital didn’t even hear of this layout  therefore, my friends, if you are ever in Moscow I strongly advise you all to visit the hotel Ukraine! Go through the hall and in front of you there will be the city center, at a glance: with architectural buildings, trees, bridges, cars, etc. Moreover the installation of lighting changes and thus evening Moscow is replaced by the night one, morning and so on. It’s very nice, interesting and impressive! I advise you to have a look!!

Since my photos are not the best ones I present to you photos of others that were absolutely brazenly taken by me on the Internet.

In one of the warm days during my stay I visited VDNKh (Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy). I just want to share some photos and this time let the others take them brazenly from me)))

For 5 days that I spent in Moscow I think I went to GUM (the department store; but should have actually go to Gym no Gum, ahaha) more than 5 times))) and therefore I feel I will rent one of the benches there for the night next time. When the weather was lovely and sunny I was there hiding from the right lifestyle and diet and tasted incredibly delicious ice cream in cups (though I did try only cherry and chocolate flavour, not so much but it was enough to fall in love with this department store!), on another occasion I was hiding from the rain and wind that ruthlessly attacted me for my not lovely feelings to Moscow. And I also really liked design of the GUM  with its bright bicycles, painted benches and most importantly with a large tree in the center of the shop with colorful birdhouses and birds singing. And even if it was only recorded I felt the spring, bloom, the beginning of something new and simply LIFE while being in the store! Passing my greetings and best wishes to the designer and inspirer! (Surely, they are my regular readers)))
