My trip to Russia
Last year, I met this girl in Tampa who was Russian. This year, she invited me out to visit her. $1000 ticket and a $200 visa... I was on my way.
Since you guys are mostly perverts, here's the girl:
So, flew into Moscow, EVERYONE must go thru passport control. It's like 100' and it smells:
After a short ride, drove into the girl's apartment, just outside of the city center. Her friend's driving.
Dropped my stuff off and we made our way to a "Tram"... aka a van that takes you to the "metro"...aka a subway. at the bus stop, there were these unclaimed dogs just hanging out. No one bothered them, they bothered no one... but they looked pretty mangled:
Got to the Metro... and here's the map of the metro all throughout Moscow:
Visited Red Square twice... once at night, then at day:
Port-a-potties cost just under $1 (20roubles) to use.
During the day, actually went inside St Basil's. The second pic is looking up at the tallest church. At the very top is an image of jesus christ.
Outside of Red Square, this is the outside wall of the Kremlin. The brick is part of the original foundation:
There were these impersonators of Lenin and a Tsar (forgot his name) you could take pictures with:
Russia's involvement in WW2 was pretty significant. Here's a memorial to those who died in WW2, with guards. I have the changing of the guards on Video, just need to upload it.
At the main entrance to the Red Square, you are to toss some coins over your shoulder... forgot why exactly, but this bum would swiftly collect the roubles (vs the kopecks) after you tossed them:
Outside one of a massive library (may be the biggest one in Moscow), kudos if you can guess who that is:
We took a water taxi tour around Moscow and saw a few cool things, this being one, a huge statue of Peter the Great:
Also went to a massive park that is a memorial to Russia's involvement in WW2. The figurine statues were likely of the Jews who perished:
A triumphial arch for the victory over Neopolian:
We also took a trip to a mansion that was built for Katherine the Great. Here's the main hall:
Another park that commorates the USSR and all the states involved. At the bottom right, you'll see a motorcycle... later in the day, the guy had a sign on the bike advertising Motorcycle Taxi:

Inside the same park... massive figurines... all made from Sand. This is the Allies of WW2
I saw this rocket in the same park... then I saw kids on the platform that held the rocket... you aren't suppose to climb it, but me breaking the law, did so:
On the way to Alexandria to visit the girl's relatives, passed by this massive church. The sunrays made it a religious experience. The last picture is the coffin of a saint:
The house we stayed at had no plumbing, so there was only outhouse pooping, which I avoided. The outhouse is in the middle of the pic. You can also see the garden. All the food they eat is grown in their garden:
Took a train to St Petersburg... it took about 8hrs from Moscow and about $100/person, except the accomodations aren't super, but you can sleep:
random St Petersburg pictures:
We went to a theme park in St Petersburg... notice something familiar about the D in the name?
back in Moscow, all of the various metro stations:
Some random car pics, yeah, a Firebird!!
Bad American brands that made it to Russia:
Avatar was less than $10 for the DVD!! And the "B" is pronounced "V" and the "P" is pronounced "R":
Food in Russia... all very fresh and good!
And finally, this kid is on the side of Orange Juice... and it's pretty funny. I'M SO EXCITING FOR ****** ORANGE JUICE!

If I took pictures of all the hot Russian women, there'd be 100 pages in this thread.
everywhere I went, it was like a super model hangout. gorgeous women with incredible bodies everywhere. and they aren't shy to show it off either
