Velopark 2007, Moscow

This winter was amazing, I have visited a city full of art-- Moscow, Russia.

The bike show itself was ok, small but made its point. What I want to emphasize is the city, and the people living in that city. Russians (or at least Russians in Moscow) are so proud of themselfs. Everyone of them looks so distant and unreachable. They walk through subway station tunnel, as though they are walking on fashion show. Yes, everyone of them walks with a sense of arrogant and stillness.


The expenses there are very high. Hotel, transportation, food, souviners...etc. If consider their average monthly salary is only few hundred US dollars, you would doubt why 1 bottle of water prices at $1.00 in the supermarket.



The architectures were amazing. Those onion-heads cathdrals, the orthodox pillers, and the subway stations! A friend questioned about so many station photos in my Moscow album. Every subway station was designed in an unique style, and all were museum-like!! Many stations were deep down underground...You could stand on the escalator for 60 seconds for up or down. Guess what? Russians don't waste their time. I see many couples hugging and kissing during that 60 seconds on escalator.
