Today I arrived in Moscow. Now, I will attempt to comment very little on things outside of music or those things unrelated to my research. This is, after all, a music blog.
However, a few observations:
- Drivers rarely use their horn.
- Food, especially street food, is cheap.
- Don't exchange your money at an airport if you can help it. Exchange it at a bank.
- I need more time to process things in Russian than I do in English (no duh, right?).
- It's difficult to find the name of the subway station when the metro pulls up to the station. I think I'll have to count how many stops we make every time, or learn to read faster in Cyrillic.
and finally...
- I heard street musicians today! In the subway. And it was actually a string trio playing "Time to Say Goodbye." Despite the elevator music choice, I was very impressed with how they sounded!
