С Новым годом

 

Happy New Year!!

In Moscow we are half the way into the holiday, and indications are strong that it is a real holiday. When we go for a walk streets are almost empty around midday, but getting closer to afternoon, and the theater start to play, there are people everywhere. Yes even some of the theaters have show’s 3 times a day like the Circus so cultural things to do is a must.

 

New Year Eve at the Red Square was an experience in itself. We only have ten minute walk down to the place, but expected a lot of people (around 500 000) so we left home around 22.00.

I think it was a good thing to do. It took 45 minutes to pass through the last 2 of the 3 security points we had to get through to get into the Red Square.



 

The Red Square take a lot of people but it was not so difficult to move around the last 40 minutes waiting for the fireworks. Enjoyed it and wanted to see a bit more of the New Year night life in Moscow, there was people everywhere.

 

 

They shut of one of the main roads just outside the Red Square that have 10 lines in one direction so it was space for everyone. The roads were closed all the way up to our home so easy to move around. In the street with Metropol Hotel there was a huge scene with music all evening.

 

 

We enjoyed the evening, been there done that, next year we find a local place to be.

 

 

This holiday season looks like people in Moscow head for vacation, the once that are left stroll around like we do during the day and afternoon. Di things you will not make the rest of the year, or just enjoy the great feeling the local council has done with decorating the city and feel a wonderful holiday time for all.

 

 

 

 

Look forward to next year already.
