Long story short: In the same club in which I "met" Gerard Depardieu, I met a girl from Siberia too. And some days later she asked me if I would travel to Moscow with her :)
I would have been a fool if i had reject that offer.Two days later I found myself sitting in the train towards south.
Considering how to use the trains toilet :D
But it should become the warmest and most beautiful day until now.
Travelling by train is much cheaper than in Austria.. but if you are looking for comfort - you'll be disappointed ;)
So we were travelling in the luxury compartment without any luxury ^^
Hofer'sche uncomfortable equation:
175x60cm & 30°C & 75dB noise & !tired != much sleep

| Every journey should start with a picture together |
8 hours later we arrived at our destination and started our long day of walking, dancing and sightseeing.
Red Square in the morning
After a bad breakfast at Subways we walked to the Red Square. We found it nearly unvisited by other tourists :D
It was a nice place to see how the sun rises. And for a nice Lindy Hop session too!

Quote of the morning:
"We cannot dance here, the police is watching." - Lena
Feeding ducks, dogs and pigeons
while watching swimming trash.. |

 |
| Eat that Pigeons! |
Unfortunately there was much trash... but it was nice anyway.
Modern Art in Moscow

I think an elaborate strategy for parking slots doesn't exists in Russia. So the modern art district is also a big parking area ;)
On the marks of Van Gogh
We visited a nice edited Vincent van Gogh exhibition. They used only projections of the paintings above many canvases and played dramatic music appropriate to the paintings movements.
Be part of the projections:

| Lena & Olga |

| Me |
I was aware that Van Gogh was a crazy psychopath. But have you known that he cut his ear and served it on a plate to a prostitute? Of course under drug influence ^^ But it think that incident was never clarified for sure..
Anyway the exhibition was kind of relaxing
Afterwards it was hard to look straight ahead because of the bright sunshine again^^
 |
| Finally sunlight again |
Some more walking
Later we walked towards some parks of Moscow and searched for any bike or other funny stuff. But somehow any weird tourist was able to find and rent a bike except us :/So we walked the whole day and made some nice pictures:

The amazing feeling while sitting upon a bridge structure
Some of you may have seen already crazy Russian Teenagers test of courage - pictures.
Well here are mine!
| "Do you see that bridge? We should climb upon it!" |

| Backward view |
 |
| Leftward view |
 |
| Frontward view |
Downward view
"MAMA, MAMA HUHUU :O" - a teenage girl climbing besides me
The incredible view, the awkward feeling in the stomach.. combined with the fear of falling down.
Definitely one of the good moments I will never forget!
Driving home for work
 |
| Platzkart train |
And according to my uncomfortable equation I was able to sleep like a child.
If you are tired enough all other factors are getting insignificant.
