 A cabbage priced at 772.77 Roubles. Converts into 89.1 Ringgit. Fearsome.  Some woman buying half a lifetime's food supply for her baby.  Here in Moscow, guy leans on girl.  That reads 'Sberbank Rassii', which means Russian  McDonald's Strawberry Sundae at the size of two adult fists. It can be yours at a cheap price of 5.30 Ringgit.  Stardogs hotdog stand. Every metro station has one. EVERY.  Russians believe these beverages enhance brain performance and gives immunisation against the HIV virus. No surprise they drink it every chance they get.  They serve these in Ikea. Priced at 11 Ringgit per set. Now THAT'S a bargain. |

sundaes and lollipops

 This is the  Beautiful city. Absolutely fabulous.  Small theatres.  The Moscow Opera House. There resides the mythical Phantom of the Opera.    Stalls outside the Red Square.  I've got sunshiiiiiiine, on a cloudy day...  They say these gates are the center of Moscow. Dead center. You could say it's the bellybutton of Moscow.  What you see in the next picture will change your life forever.  HOMER!!!1!11!!1! In Moscow!!1!!1!!11!      They say on certain nights, the dead soldiers come back to march on the pavements of the Square. But we all know this is   Gum (pronounced Goom). The Pavilion of Moscow. Prepare a thick wad of cash before heading in.  Sundaes and lollipops.   Shocking. McDonald's everywhere.  This mall is sort of like the Times Square of Moscow. Affordable, classy, just like having a nice second-hand C class Mercedez Benz. That's all for today. Next posts: Random shit. |

hogwarts, so to speak

 Russian State Medical University. Very similar to Hogwarts in some ways. Notice the abundance of blondes and unintelligible writing on it's wall.  Hogwarts on ice.  The entrance to magic and wonders. And vodka. And cigarettes. Oh, yes. Russians smoke a lot, even the ladies. How much? An average Russian can fill an empty room with cigarette butts in  Good security, they even have those LRT barricades. The only lacking thing is the attention of the security guards. They'll let someone in even if they're wearing nothing but socks.  The hallowed hallways of the institute. Those 2 figures look familiar? They have made appearances on packages of Darlie toothpaste.  Auditoriums on the right  The general hallway. Lotsa chicks hang around here.  The cafeteria. Lotsa fat nerds hang around here.  That's Natalia Vladimirovna, my current and only lecturer. She teaches Russian language. Excellent lecturer. More about Moscow in my next post. Toodle-oo. |

 The first thing I see after landing: A Mini Cooper running round the walls of the airport. The routine stuff, passport and visa handling, luggage hunting, hide-and-seeking.  Domodedovo Airport Took a bus with another 30+ students to the hostel, Dom 39.  The Dom  Once we've arrived, we were assigned by the Malaysian Students' Council each a senior to help us with our daily lives. I got a guy called Wai Kit. Nice person.  The Dom. Kinda looks like something from the Pudu area.  Yugo-Zapadnaya station environment  Yugo-Zapadnaya bus station  Ostrovitianova Street  My room. It's on the sixth floor. I live with a Chinese first year student, Kevin, and a fifth year senior Malay Nabeyl.  This is my space. Awesome, really. I've got one of the best rooms in the hostel. That's all for today. Next post: Downtown Moscow, etc. |
