It's hard work isnt it? As I said, fascinating city but don't expect a relaxing time.
It is indeed. I won't be rushing back.

Just sitting at Moscow airport waiting for the plane home.
Lets just say Moscow isn't really set up for or interested in tourists. The main things we came to see (Kremlin and St Basil's cathedral) have been closed all weekend despite contrary info on their websites. Everywhere is really expensive (£17 for two coffees earlier) and trying to rip you off. It's dusty everywhere and the tube is very hard to navigate if you don't speak Russian.
As for the people - I have never come across a country where everybody is so bloody miserable all the time.
Oh, and it appears smoking is compulsory once you reach about age 12 (including in shops/hotels/restaurants).
And I missed the Wolves game to come here.
My wife (Russian although not originally from Moscow she has spent the last 15 years or so there with Uni and her first marriage) has done a review of your review on her UK Blog written in English.
There is also a Russian blog written in Russian (Google near translate will give an idea of what it approximately says for non Russian readers don't think there is anything football there but she does have a lot about Yam Yam's.
