Argh! I am so very very laxy to blog abou tmy Russian trip!

Insomnia again, but it's getting better. The day before I went to bed at 1 only to fall asleep at 3 and to wake up at 5 and once again at 8. Irritating. Now it's 7.30am, I woke up 6.30 this morning for no reason save for spontaneous-waking-up-syndrome (if that exists) and ordered McDelivery breakfast (Which is oh so shiok when you wake up on a Saturday morning and feel lazy) It's overpriced, but I'm not thinking about it, just the food. hehheh.

I had a great time in Russia (momemtum's up) but I must say that Germany was better *gasp!* Russians are highly disorganised and painfully slow at service. Quote from our tourguide,

'They do things at such amazingly slow and inefficient paces that you wouldn't know how you could have done it any slower than they have'

It's really true, kinda like the F1 pitstop, where there are 2 people just to top up the petrol tank of the car, (one pumps the petrol, another carries the pipe) But just that they do that 100x slower and with even more people.

Our tourguide was really really good, he'd been doing Russian tours for 11 years. And just when you think Russia's becoming/has become a tourist hotspot, you are soooo wrong. They're still as anal as ever on immigration checks, baggages still get lost, (he said we were the first tour with a complete set of luggage in 11 years) and things there are still inefficient. Ok fine so the touristy areas are pretty well esteblished, just a problem with management la..

Ok I shall continue on russia with mroe pictures next.

Oh yea, they call McDonald's McLennin's for fun, haha.. OK fun not the russians, but the tourists. Apparently the first Macs opend when the Soviet Union fell, so..

Lenin went down, the golden arches came up.
