Back from my pseudo Delta mileage run to Moscow and wanted to pass along a big thanks to everyone here who helped me and my buddies out.

Being a first-time traveller to Moscow this is going to horify some of you for sure --- but by the end of our 72 hours we had "hitchhiked" all over the city (we caught on to the "hold your arm out" bit) --- went all over the city for about 150 rubles per ride (or less).

Made it into 6 of 11 clubs (face control was a bit tight at 5 of those)...met a nice Russian student that worked at the Norweigen Embassy -- she took us to several sheesha bars on Tverskaya and out towards People's Friendship University.

When we did use the Metro it was a breeze...but I think you need a healthy sense of direction and basic understanding of the route layout --- that's what pre-trip planning is for.

(even got abused by birch branches at a bath house).

CRAZY city after 11PM. We are already planning the next "mileage run".
