Am going to be in moscow in JAnuary. Will be stayign at the Hotel Voshkod before boarding the Trans Mongolian. how long does it take by metro to get from this Hotel to the Kremilin?
Also has any one as yet been to the new Hard Rock Cafe in Moscow- is it easily accessible
don't know where your hotel is of hand, however regarding your question about the Hard Rock...It isn't open yet, it is scheduled to open later this month or next month. It is easy to get to though. It is on Starry Arbat and can be reached by using the Arbat or Smolenskaya metro stations.
I 100% agree with you Neil. Teh HardRock isn't really all that great of a place. However regarding your comments about Planet Hollywood, it went bankrupt not in Moscow, but worldwide. HardRock is sitll doing a pretty good business. New stores open and some of the old ones close, but for some reason they are holdling better than Planet Hollywood did.
As far as cosntruction coming to a standstill, I was wondering about it myself, although a bunch of new signs have started poppign up around the city advertising that it will be opening soon.....who knows.
Hi all,
Vladykino is the nearest metro, just opposit side of the street (Signalnyi proezd). See -

Neil, you possibly mixed it up with BOCTOK (Vostok) hotel which is just next district really between Vladykino and Petrovsko-Razumovskaya.

Forgot to tell you that Kremlin you can find at Borovitskaya station (the same gray line) that is 8th from Vladykino. ;-) Good luck...
visit the Kremlin and Red Square. Most of us will remember the May-day parades from the times of Communism, with tanks and guns rolling on for many minutes. But being there, walking the square where now only people walk - it really is breath-taking! Being able to walk into a shop and buying a good, Russian vodka for just 50P (USD 0.80) and being told by your friends living there 'why are you buying the expensive one?'
I remember walking through Red Square late one night, hanging out with a Muscovite. I remember him asking me 'how do you like this country?'
I said I thought it was interesting. Very, very different from the United States. Also quite different from what I had expected.
'This country sucks. I hate this country.'
'Where would you go if you could leave?' I asked him.
He looked at me like I was from Venus. 'America!'
Of course, I thought. 'What would you do in America? What kind of job?'
He didn't have a good answer.
I said: 'You need to understand something about America. If you don't have a job, you don't have a place to live. And no one is going to take care of you. You are entirely on your own. We have plenty of homeless people there - because they have lost their jobs or whatever. '
He looked at me like he had heard this before, but perhaps never from an American.
Station " Novoslobodskaya ". Pillons of a platform hall are reveted with white Ural marble. The original color stained-glass windows, decorating pillons, are executed by the Riga masters. Design of the hall is combined with a granite floor and with facing walls in white ceramic bar.
New Year is the greatest holliday in Russia. It is celebrating by everyone.
Celebration starts at 31 Dec and can last for 2..3 days :-)
All the night it is impossible to sleep due to bright and noisy fireworks. All people are in the streets.
Back in 1989 the common currency was Marlborough cigarettes, denim jeans, cowboy boots (some Moskvites would have KILLED to get their hands on these! ;-), and things like that. I didn't bring anything special to wear. Casual is fine. Maybe one or two nicer outfits for those nicer restaurants. I brought a Mamiya 645 (two and a quarter format) with one lens. Had no attempted theft of the camera at all.
