We are back on schedule. I am now at Domodedovo Airport waiting for our flight to Houston. My passport managed to arrive at our Hotel yesterday afternoon (Monday) after traveling from Jakarta to Singapore to somewhere in Germany and then finally to Moscow. It was then a long process of calling Singapore Airlines to switch our flights from Thursday (22 July) back to our original Tuesday (20 July). H's phone bill is going to be astronomical. But have to say Sasha at the SQ Moscow office is rather helpful and speaks fluent English. She handled our case when we were at the office last Friday to sort out my mess. Anyway, here I am.
Four nights in Moscow is indeed enough.... Especially we are not Opera buffs. Not religious nor into Art. The city is tooooooo hot at this time of the year for a comfortable visit as it is not equipped for summers. Ice is really really a scarce commodity here. We were at Cafe Pushkin yesterday, and my 7up came without ice. Asked for some and found that it costs USD 1.30 for the glass of ice. Even our McDonald's soda does not come with ice.
Most of the buildings have no aircons or substandard ones. Even at the theatres. When we went to watch "Nutcracker", I told H to bring my shawl ... in case it was cold. Aduh! It was sooooooo hot! Can you imagine paper fans being sold together with the programs??? When the conductor came up to take a bow, he was absolutely drenched!!
Okay. Continue later. H says to go to the gate now.

Apparently, it's the hottest Russia has ever been. Loads of people had to cool themselves by jumping into lakes and rivers but loads of them drowned....because they were drunk on vodka.
TRUE STORY!!!

Wen- didn't count but not that many what. Not including going back to Malaysia, this is only 3rd trip this year.
G- it is indeed very hot. Some ppl were like in the fountains. Lots of people drinking beer early in the morning. Siow!!
So weird that they dun hv air-cond in a country that has summer. And wat's with ice? Is it difficult to make?
