Moscow was an amazingly beautiful city. I would love to see it again one day. The buildings were so nicely decorated on the outside but apparently are not made well (faulty plumbing, weak walls). Lots of gold and marble to give the impression that it is wealthy. Again, I really thought this place was spectacular.
