This evening's lesson was close to the metro at парк победы (Victory park). One of the murals is a constant reminder of the glorious victory over "the fascists" in 1945.
The Moscow metro is very fast and very efficient. In the rush hour(s) a train can be disappearing into the tunnel at the far end of the platform just as the next one is appearing at this end of the platform. They start running at 0530 and stop at about 0100. You buy a ticket (roughly 50p) to travel any distance and present the ticket at the entrance turnstile. There are also turnstiles to exit but the ticket doesn't have to be presented again. The metro is deep in many places as the escalators can be very long. I would estimate I spend at least 30 minutes a week travelling up and down the escalators.
