Glad you had a good time!
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).
I am not at all horrified--in fact I'm pretty impressed that you managed this w/o Russian language capability. This is how everyone gets around town--totally standard, but most tourists would be unwilling/unable to do it! Kudos to you!
