Every great city has one: an underground train system. The universal burning rubber smell...♥ In London it's The Tube, in NYC it's the Subway, but here in Moscow, it's just the Metro. It's one of the best in the world. I personally like it because whenever I'm going somewhere, I'm usually in a hurry, and I wouldn't like waiting for ten minutes for a ride. I've never had to wait more than two minutes for the next metro car. It's incredibly efficient and in the center of the city, the stops are pretty close together. Here's a map:
Pretty straightforward, right? UH, NO. If you'll notice, there is a dark blue line and a light blue line on the map. Underground, the colors are switched. And there is an "Arbatskaya" on both of them. Try to meet someone at Arbatskaya on the blue line, I dare you. It's actually not that bad once you get used to it. I'm on the dark green line at Sokol. It's fourth from the top. There are some really beautiful metro stops.
Chandeliers and gold leafing. Very Russian. I love going to the pretty stops. I get to appreciate Russian art without going out of my way. It's incredible that they make the metro so beautiful. It's crazy to think that this is just the underground transportation. And they're pretty clean too!
This one always reminds me of the Ministry of Magic building. Every time I come here I ready myself for a raging duel that is sure to break out one of these days.
So come to Russia and ride the Metro with me! Seriously, my mom hardly ever lets me ride it alone, so I need a buddy. There is a lot more where these pictures came from, and you should definitely come check it out. And preferably before I forget all my English. ;) Until next time, До свидания!
