Hello everybody...a new week has started!
Days pass and we're getting more and more tired.
This morning, as usual, we had before breakfast and then lecture at 9.00 am.
Today the "teacher" was Vladimir Berezin, a typical russian man with blue eyes and pale skin. We met him on Saturday during the "extreme day".
He doesn't speak English very well and we had some difficulties to understand the lecture about "Promotion and Advertising polices in tourism in Russia".
The most interesting part of the lecture maybe was about social network. Thanks to this lecture we understand that they don't use for example Facebook or Twitter like us, because there are russian social network like Odnoklassniki or Vkontakte.
In the afternoon we visited the hotel Ararat Hayatt in the centre of Moscow.
A very nice girl called Maria explained us how is organized this hotel.
Finally we found a person that spoke a very good English here in Moscow. :-)
She also showed us two kinds of rooms: Deluxe room and the Winter Garden. The first one is used by business man for example, the second one for honey-moon or stars. This was very precious!
At 15.30 pm we finished and so we decided to go to visit the Novodevicij Monastyr (south-west of Moscow) and some russian friends came with us.
Inside the monastry there were many ortodox churches. We entered in the Virgin Cathedral of Smolensk and in Intercession Church. In the last one we had the oppurtunity to see ortodox monks and sisters praying and their religious ritual.
We could see that they are devout in particular to Saints and they pray kissing their icons.
After monastry we decided to go to Red Square, but a storm surprised us and we had to repair ourselves from wind and rain. This was not so bad after ten days at 40°.
See you tomorrow with other adventures!
Bye Bye JUST friends!!!!
Eleonora & Elena
