as i mentioned, i was in moscow for a couple days. i didn't really like it. traffic is amazing and amazingly unpredictable, there are huge ten-lane thoroughfares all over the city (oh stalin!) making it unpleasant to walk around, and most of the landmark buildings have that communist feel -- trying to be great but ending up somehow hollow, like they were either trying too hard or their artists weren't as talented as they would/should have been. the only thing i went a bit crazy over was taking pictures of st. basil's cathedral. i definitely thought that building was special!
