I'm in Moscow

[Rosaleen]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'm here in snowy, snowy Moscow. It looks just like the winter postcard pictures you see. First official practices are tomorrow (Friday) and I'm planning on heading to the rink to check things out. I'm not sure yet what the internet arrangements are at the arena but worst-case is that I'll be able to post my reports when I get back to the hotel at night as long as I get back before 11pm because that's when the business centre closes.

I'm off now to do some sight-seeing -- The Kremlin and Red Square

Just so you have an idea of the time difference.

Right now it's 10am on Thursday here in Moscow, 11pm on Wed in Vancouver - Pacific Time and 2am Thursday in Toronto - Eastern Time.

I fourth that. It's great to have our own inside source at the big event!

Ditto Rosaleen!

Thanks as always. I hope once the event is over you come back and share your impressions with us of the sights you see. I would love to see Moscow someday, just like I would love to see a World Championship someday!! Your reports are always the next best thing to being there.

Rosaleen, lucky we have you. As someone said, your report is next best thing to being there in person. Thank you so much for all the reports from previous events and I'm sure it will be just as great this time.
Looking forward to your report on practice!

Rosaleen:

Have fun and be very careful about guarding your personal belongings. My mother and brother made a trip to Russia a few years ago with the Canadian Figure Skating Association and my mom almost did not get home!! She put her purse down for a couple of minutes while shopping and someone made off with her purse - passport and all! The Canadian Embassy and figure skating association had to really work to get my mom another visa to come home!! Wow was I glad to see my mom!!

Enjoy the skating.

To these who are in Moscow, do you have any practice report or meeting any skaters to share with us?
