Welcome to Moscow

I've left Astana for now and my journey to Russia begins here in Moscow. I hope you'll join me for some of it, perhaps in your tea breaks.

All hail the Onion messiah.
Having survived Air France's cold sweaty salmon, I'm in Moscow for a couple of days; it's blizzardy and slushy and slippy and blingy; and the urban road signs look like they're imported shamelessly from France.

You already know what Red Square and the Kremlin look like, so I thought I'd save you that and instead share this shot from the block I'm staying on - an old church (Russian churches believe that onions are the Messiah) and a glossy building; that summarises my first impression of Moscow. Sadly, not a bench in sight.
