The Moscow metro is the symbol of all that i like in Mosow. Sometimes I spend nearly a whole day in it, just driving around.
First thing that meets me is the hot air when you enter the doors. Then the long, longer, the longest escalator awaits me for a ride under the earth. For you to imagine how long they are actually, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0cT_oDULbI&feature=channel_page
These escalators are the best place for exchanges of flirtacious views... One escalator drives up and the other down. This scene is a very good example for that (you can watch the whole trailer or to just see the two scenes go to 1:28): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUDBU-dIxV0&feature=related
Other lovely thing: the metro halls are usually built like a palace. ("a palace for the plebs") (see pic above)
You can see special people; you can see a part of Moscow's 11 million inhabitants!
The trains are extremely fast!
(beautiful women)
GO to Moscow and take the metro. (Do not ever take it when there was a soccer match! (I experienced that once and it was scary, if you want to know more, just ask me))

I want to know more. Tell me more.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I liked the part abou (beautiful women).
Very interesting interesting and beautiful indeed, but yet another example of soviet monumentalism. Anyhow, Moscow would be a great destination, not (only) because of the apparently beautiful women, but because I think Socialist Classicism - I like the architecture, not the ideology - is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI want to know more. Tell me more - especially about the special people you were talking about! Culture shocks are great and always let you reflect about your own lifestyle.
Agreed with the above posts.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll that would be material for a new bog post, valjusha?
In addition, tell us more about the beautiful women.
