Home again

On the train I thought that I would not like Moscow that much after Siberia but luckily I had a good time there as well. The hostel was best I've ever been to - a good matress on the bed, nice shower, nice and helpful staff and internet that works. Spend some time with Austrian-Italian girls and ended up in a funk club with them. It got a bit too quiet there and we tried to find somewhere with more people but we weren't that lucky. (Some bits that happened in between I have to leave out - ask me later...) Decided that we'll get some food to cook at the hostel. But at the supermarket I couldn't find my credit card any more. Looked the bag thoughout, checked all pockets, nowhere. All I could do was to phone Finland to cancel the card. And off course in the morning, collecting my clothes of the floor the stupid card dropped out of the leg of my trousers. Highly annoying. Though I have to say that I like these baggy pant with legs tied at ankle. Ever so handy even if you are not going to give birth to another messiah. I did have enough money for the last day, but only if everything goes straight forward. And I never did one registration in Russia, so there was the risk of getting in to trouble in the customs. But all was absolutely fine. Where's your bag, do you have anything to declare and that was it.

I felt really sad coming back home, I fell so in love with Russia! A friend coming to meet me at the station with some flowers for me made it easier but this all still feels very unreal. And I won't have any money until I get a new card...

The last surprise I got when I did some washing. Hanging up the clothes that actually smelled good again I found a pair of men's pants... No idea how they got there. Hope I had fun. (Think they belong to the people who used my flat when I was gone, but that's not such a good story.)
I'll try to think some tips for people doing the trans-siberian as I promised to a Scottish girl who I met in Moscow, but that will be tomorrow earliest.

Never realized how white my home is. I need more colours! A bit of Russia.
