Beautiful and artificial city, Moscow
The second day, we gathered at lobby in our hotel at 7:00 a.m., after breakfast.
Sightseeing in Moscow at last.
I got into our bus with excitement, and our bus took us to the center part of Moscow.
First of all, we went toward subway station for seeing its interor.
I heard that the interior of metro stations in Russia is called “Underground palace” , because it is so beautiful and gorgeous. So, I was excited to see it.
What caught my eyes on the way to the subway station was ….
National apartment. (Seeing from another angle, it seemed castle.)
国立のアパートですって。角度を変えるとお城にも見えます(*´д｀*)
Bolshoi Theater
バリショイ劇場。モスクワで、いえ、ロシアで一番有名な劇場ですかね。
バスみっけ（`･ω･´）
Russia is in the short high season, and it was Saturday, so a large number of tourists comes from in and outside Russia. There were a lot of car along the street. Heavy traffic. It took much time to central part of the city.
The metro station that we saw this time was …
Ploshchad Revolyutsii Metro Station
モスクワは駅の中もステキなんですって。
This “м” is an initial letter from “метро”. The mark of metro. It is not McDonald’s.
I could not see the difference at first.
Well, I wanted to go to McDonald’s, but I didn’t have enough time.
Our guide went to ticket office to buy platform tickets.
ガイドさんがカッサで入場券を買ってます。
Newspaper-vending machines.
新聞の自動販売機！
There are many bronze statues like that on the platform.
This is a soldier stooping with his gun.
銃を持って隠れてる兵士の銅像。こんな銅像がこの駅の至る所にあります。
As the station name says, I think they were concerned with the revolution.
めちゃくちゃ早いと評判のモスクワのエレベーター。ここは遅めでしたが、別のところで、恐怖さえ感じる激速エレベーターがありましたよ。
I heard a rumor that escalators in metro stations in Russia work so fast.
But it didn’t work so fast. Certainly, it might be danger if I had suitcase.
And if was a little difficult for me to get off the escalator.
In the poor light, faces of these bronze statues look like being cornered.
I felt it was groomy in the station. It looked like more gorgeous bombproof shelter than subway station.
ほんとに、地下鉄？と思うほど美しい装飾の駅でした。この駅はとくに観光に訪れる人が多いようです。
Of course, they mean that, too.
So, this station is constructed in such a deeper place.
Our Moscow time is very short, and I have to visit there again in the near future. There’re many things that should be seen !
Also I want to go into the Bolshoi theater !
