Whooohooo, so finally I got to see a lot of snow, falling falling freezing!!. Moscow! These guys handle snow as if it's an umbrella. Flights don't get delayed, everything goes on as normal. The traffic was pretty tight, and the cars are dirty, buildings are very visibly connected to each other with wires and our bus driver kept cursing in Russian. There are these big bulldozer snowscrapers that hoot people out of the way at the speed of freakin 80k/h or something. It was awesome to go mission with a big group, including both pilots, in heavy snow and freezing cold in a town that speaks no English. The pilot, being good with direction ofcourse, followed the map and got us to the Red Square on a train.
Even when all 9 of us bought tickets, we just pointed to the map and showed 'return'. Man, it was cold!!! Well -13'C. It almost felt unreal to me, being new to that. The snowflakes were dry and the sound it made underneath my shoes sounded crunchy. I felt like I was on a xmas movie setup.
So, we went for dinner, walked around some outdoor souvenir shops at the Red Square, played in the snow and dodged out of the way of those bulldozers many times;-)
We ended our night looking for a bar to have..... VODKA ofcourse!! Even I had some. Too many maybe (sorry ma), we all got drunk. On the way back we even did the snow angel thing in that cold. But by that time it wasn't cold anymore, lol. We had a ball of a time!!This was actually my London Gatwick flight that I swapped for Moscow, and it was definitely worth it.
Well, that's it for now. Hope I described well, this letter was written in a hurry, coz I'm off again for another flight.
Toedeldoe!!
