a failed attempt to get out of town

well...my friend and i were supposed to go to vladimir (2 hours away from moscow) today. since we both dont speak any russian, we just decided to line up at the railway station booths and try to get tickets to vladimir and be at the mercy of the ticketseller with regard to departure times. it will be part of the adventure. hehe. i know. not kinda smart.

well, since we were just saying 'da" to everything that the ticketseller was saying, we ended up getting 6pm tickets to vladimir (when we were just planning on a daytrip). we decided not to go since we were not gonna see anything at night! after wasting 600 roubles on tickets we wont use, we just decided to go stroll around the Universitet area. This is where the Moscow State University and the Sparrow Hills are located. It wasnt such a waste of time for me since we got to eat at a nearby KFC (yay! after 10 months of not eating kfc, i was in heaven! i never knew that its called rostiks here) and strolling around the university grounds was good because it was sooo green and relaxing. just what i needed.

sooo, lesson learned: we will go to vladimir next friday, hopefully, with a russian person to buy the tickets for us! :-p
