Yesterday I was in Moscow. I must say that I do not like Moscow, so I try to go there as rarely as possible. I do not like Moscow's bustling, hurrying, rudeness and bad ecology. Therefore, in Moscow, I am once or twice a year. And then, for the most part, on his way.
But yesterday I had come on business. In some prisutstvennoe place, rendering certain government services to citizens. Below I will present experiences from this trip.
In Moscow, I went to the express train flight 6-42, which is two stops in Klin and Solnechnogorsk took me 2 hours to the capital of Russia. People riding in the train, made a very good impression - It was clearly understood that the express train from the conductor in each car will not be homeless. People slept, chatted and played aypedah and phones. In general, the start Trip negative impressions are not brought.
arrived at Leningrad Station, I passed through it and went down into the subway. Metro in Moscow today is worth 28 rubles per 1 a trip that, compared to my city very much. We have taxis, buses and trams are the same - 12 rubles. However, there are some buses that stand and 10 rubles in the city.
I rode the subway a few stops himself saying is correct yet the Soviet decision: if a subway train going toward the center, then Stop announcing a male voice. If the center - women. As far as I know, the authors have thought of this idea was: the voice of a man associated with the chief (When you go to work), and the voice of a woman - his wife (when you go home). The thought is very correct, I think that for those who use the subway every day, this is so self-evident thing, that they are on the subject and not thinking.
I arrived at the station I needed, went out of the subway. The first thing you saw when you exit - Multiple routes, standing right on the sidewalk and a large number Ravshanov and Jumshud around them. In general, I should note that all guest workers in Moscow several times more than we do. They occur more frequently. And, of course, represent a good customer base - the tariff Megaphone "warm welcome" (call inside the fare 50 cents per minute, the call to the CIS 2.40 per minute) designed expressly for them, he had sold in railway stations. Evil tongues (think bigheads and striped) for it is called Megaphone Ravshan-Mobile.
his stay at the destination of my trip I will not describe - people as human beings, with all the trappings of finding in the queue yesterday's Soviet man. Although there was a man about my age (though with a belly hanging over belt trousers), dressed in an expensive suit, with expensive watches and Moscow Ponty. He resented all. First of all, the fact that he is standing in the queue. Then the fact that it is impossible to say on the mobile phone. And when he turned the documents (ie, not taken at all), he, with a corresponding facial expression, left, searched their car (Audi A8, the maximum year-old), yelled at the driver that he was parked and drove away. All this is textbook behavior of officials in Moscow, I watched personally, because we went out together. Oh yes, especially for Moscow readers principle only for them note - the car was without flashers.
finished his work around 11 am, I went the Leningrad station. Where and felt cared for Railways and its commuter subsidiary posts on passengers. Tverskaya train left at 11-16. Next - At 14-30. Among them were two trains to Klin, one seems to Gangways, one to Kryukovo. That is, it is assumed that 3 hours 15 minutes in the Tver nobody should. Taken together, the ban parking of buses from Moscow to Tver Yaroslavl station in front of it looks like the apotheosis of the concerns about the passenger.
Summary friendly dialogue with the cops at the station - and I learned to "run off" buses. They moved to a distance of about 600 meters, with the railroad overpass (bridge) to the bus stop at the platform Kalanchevskaya. From the train station to the traffic police chases, and over the bridge area of \u200b\u200bjurisdiction of another department.
came to a halt. Stop looked like this:
In general, Moscow - a city of contrasts.
bus leaves every half hour regardless of occupancy. Tickets cost 280 rubles. We went. Along the way I photographed from the bus window. Pay attention to the price of gasoline, I remind - the yard May 25, 2011:
in Moscow because of the numerous daily population and the presence of tall buildings antenna BSok cellular operators poke at all comfortable and not very convenient locations. Here, for example, this antenna is clearly covers its action only part of the Leningrad prospectus and a large office building across the street:
James' almost was not, for eleven to twelve hours of the day by Moscow standards - morning, early hours of the day, this time, when people go to work, ie in Moscow, but not out of it.
Moscow, of course, became populous brutal desert of asphalt, concrete and glass, filled with iron horses and oversaturated advertising. Be in a consumer landscape disgusting:
However, in Moscow until the islands were green, which can be used in such an environmentally friendly mode of transport as bicycle. This bearded cyclist very pleased me with its appearance:
This is the Moscow River, far away - Ring Road Bridge:
Difficulties motion began near the intersection of the Leningrad highway and Ring Road, heavy traffic from Moscow ring road trying to go on from Leningrad, and somewhere before the track was a Zelenograd slowly moving stream.
At the entrance hangs a huge Khimki "icon" depicting the object of desire of many dreams, and vividly illustrates the value this age:
Zelenograd At the traffic lights until the bus was, I managed to photograph the memorial to the defenders of Moscow at a very good foreshortening:
Zelenograd After the track was already practically free, the driver surely had a speed of about one hundred. We drove up to Tver in less than 3 hours which is a very good result for the bus.
On the way back polusonnnom state of the music on headphones, I remembered that just 20 years ago We were outraged, why the winners are worse losers. Why is "over there" hundreds of varieties of sausage, but we are for one variety in Moscow we go? And as we go to Moscow for bananas, toilet paper and cigarettes, "Java" for 40 cents a pack in a soft and "Marlboro" on 1 ruble 50 kopecks in tight. Now these perturbations are no longer audible. Sausage, toilet paper and Marlboro sold in any general store. However, a better life for some reason we did not, judging by people's sense of self. So, perhaps, yet not a sausage deal?
