Explore Moscow and get photographed by a professional photographer. Moscow is full of unique photographic spots. And one the pleasures of traveling is to convert memories into pictures. Beautiful, crisp images enable us to live through the most adventurous moments of a journey again and again. Pictures speak better than words when we share impressions with friends and family. But it's hard to get a picture of yourself when you travel solo. Even for 2-3 people taking photos can be difficult - one person hides behind the camera and the group is never together.
Hotels are expensive. I stayed in Equator Hotel last time and the old-communist era hotel costs a bomb compared to the old facilities available there. Wifi is slow and difficult. Most old and middle age people cannot speak English or tend to avoid conversation but the younger generation is more open and friendly.
