An Armenian taxi driver came to pick me up at the airport. I don't speak Russian and he did not speak English. He did not seem disocurage though and he tried more than once to have a chat with me. I couldn't go further than "Da" "niet" or " spasiba".
3 millions motorvehicles race and rush on the roads of Moscow every day. The drive to the flat was not easy, not for me! No one cares about speed limits, pedestrian crossings or crosslights. Changing lanes is a question of speed and luck, just like when you play tetris and you only have a couple of seconds to decide where and how to move your piece. Pretty stressful.
Almost two hours later I was in my room, trying to remember all the information I was given.
First thing firts: do not drink tap water. Water pipes in Moscow are quite old and are releasing chemicals in the water. Boiling it is no use (two days later a filtering jug made its appereance in the kitchen). I was then told stuff about my new mobile number, the tube map and I was given the keys.
To me though, those were just sounds, not words. I was so tired!.I went to sleep at 1am RUtime and woke up 10 and a half hours lof deep sleep.
