You have to believe it to see to believe it.? Wise words, or romantic rubbish? To the untrained eye, Moscow is a complete enigma. Time is the only way to fully grasp the endless contradictions of this twisted city. Day in, day out, you are left scratching your head, utterly perplexed about what just happened, desperate to find out answers. But there are no answers, and that is exactly what makes Moscow so unique. Russian fatalism is a cultural characteristic. They accept things for the way they are, never question things they cannot change, just get on with their lives without complaining. This is just the first stage in a long journey of cultural adaptation. This is where most expats are broken. Instead of adapting to Russian culture, they seek a comfortable life surrounding themselves with homely comforts. They drink in expat bars, talk only to foreigners and reject anything that is Russian. You need an open mind to survive in Moscow, and a lot of patience. But for those that do survive, the rewards are mind-blowing.

Sightseeing:

The heart of the city undoubtedly lies around Teatralnaya Ploschad. The infamous Red Square is every bit as beautiful as its pictures. It is home to the stunning St.Basil's Cathedral, and of course the embalmed body of a leader who began the Soviet onslaught in 1917 ?Vladimir Ilich Lenin. It is an awe-inspiring place. A place which never loses its novelty or charm, no matter how long you decide to stay in Moscow. Day or night it is simply breath-taking. On the Eastern side of the square is GUM, a magnificent shopping centre which once symbolized everything bad about Soviet shopping ?long queues, and rations not big enough to feed one person, let alone an entire family ?but now houses an array of beautifully crafted designer shops. Behind the square are the gargantuan walls of the Kremlin, the apex of Russian political power. It was here that Lenin designed the proletarian revolution, where Stalin unleashed terror on millions, where Gorbachev fought with the strains of Perestroika and where Yeltsin ultimately brought the Soviet Union to its knees. Its magnitude is stunning, and a trip inside is certainly a highlight.
