Moscow Times

I'm in Moscow for a few days with work. Its the second time I've been here, the last being during a freezing March 2006 - ok, not freezing by Moscow standards, but pretty damn cold by my standards at about -15C. Photo-opportunities were taken within split seconds - jump out the car, smile, click, back in the car.



This time round its 22C and sunny... and Moscow seems like a different world. Same old traffic jams though. You've never seen anything like it. Wall to wall beemers, mercs, bentleys and ladas all vying for a 3 inch gap in the traffic which is moving at -3mph. Sometimes you literally do move backwards. It should be quicker to walk, but they kind of forgot to put pavements and pedestrain crossings into the infrastructure.
