I was based at Domodedovo airport but I managed to get into Moscow itself for two of the trips. I stayed at the Hotel Ukraine when I stayed in the city itself - a magnificent hotel if I may say so. I was there in the summer (with temperatures of 35 degrees and the other extreme in the winter). <br /><br />I loved the city - so much to see and so much to do. ANd I love St Basil's cathedral.<br /><br />One day, I'll go back there - hopefully for a holiday rather than work.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-9833389207925288932010-01-31T14:54:33.818+00:002010-01-31T14:54:33.818+00:00You've been to Moscow 3 times already?

I will never do it ever again and I have no desire to conquer the fear any more.<br /><br />Languages? Well I speak a little French, a little German and that's about it. I can order beer in Russian, Portugese, Czech and Spanish and say "thank you" in Cantonese, Dutch, Spanish and Mandarin.<br /><br />I usually have a phrase book to help me. I'm not one of these people who thinks that screaming loudly will somehow miraculously make foreigners understand me.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-32460301259021624872010-01-31T10:31:22.597+00:002010-01-31T10:31:22.597+00:00Ah - lady from Delaware - thankj you v.much.

Mark still talks about a huge crazy golf you have there. <br /><br />I think that Americans are genuinely fascinated by Brits - we are funny and we are weird - so I kind of expect the "Do you have ..." "Have you met ..." questions. But rest assured - we have everything on our island that you guys have (though not necessarily as big - I still shudder when I think of Skyscrapers ...).<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-46254312003237593912010-01-31T10:26:06.447+00:002010-01-31T10:26:06.447+00:00G'Day kath,

I will head beack there one day.<br /><br />The US is a great place too - particularly New York, Boston and San Francisco.

MANCHESTER UNITED!"
Ha Ha.
Yo..."AAAHH!! MANCHESTER UNITED!" <br /><br />Ha Ha.<br />You've certainly been to a lot of places. Can you speak all of the languages, even a little, or do you rely on mime and hoping "they" speak enough English to understand you?<br /><br />Had to laugh at several of these, in particular, 5, 13, 23; why do people ask such silly questions? Here's a quote from my Sunday paper. The writer of the article was on a cruise ship spending 3 amazing days at Antartica. "....an American tourist asking "Is that the same moon as we see in California?"...."<br />I gather by several of these that you are afraid of heights. Why keep trying to conquer this? Accept your fear and stay on the ground. I've never understood why others (or ourselves) try to help us get over things. Does it make us a better person somehow to be able to say, I was afraid but by golly I did it! I don't think so, I think a little fear of something that maybe should be feard is probably a healthy thing. After all, if no-one was afraid of mountain climbing, (for instance), those few who have scaled unspeakable heights would have nothing to brag about, we'd all have done it......<br />okay, I'm rambling.
