THe 28th of april, i got moscow by train...really huge city of 10 or 13 millions of inhabitants (depends the source). Here, rich people are really rich...so poor people are ...
I m staying in a friendly hostel, Galina flat, it remind me my five year at the house of colette when i was student in Caen. Galina flat is a dingy soviet style flat. THere are 3 cats living in the flat and plenty of pigeons at the window waiting for food. Many crazy travelers join that cheap place before starting the transiberian trip.
Moscovites are really busy, people don t care about foreigner (not like in siberia), anyway i could attend to the ceremony of the 9th of may. Here it s not a day for the peace , it a day for the victory against germans. poeple send postcard to their friend to celebrate that important day. There was a massive parade in the red square in front of the new president Medvedev. THis day is really important even for the young generation...russia lost 27 millions lifes in the 2nd world war.
A french teacher contact me to give a lecture at the moscow state university...in french about FRance. Inteesting.
IN russia, the gaz is free or better to say it s a fix price per month, so people let light on the gaz all day long because matches are not free. Incredible to see that.
I went to lenin mausoleum...I don t think it s lenin...he s so white.
An ingeneering candian company suggested to take me on...they really need ingenner...i m still thinking about the proposition.
