After a quick lunch at Gum (st this mock Soviet era diner), we headed out to the Megasport arena. Which is not in the most idyllic part of Moscow, which is very far away from the nearest metro station (there is a bus, we discovered leaving). We saw part of the men and first group of ladies. Much space on the ice as many had not yet arrived, most prominently no Russians. But this has been business as usual in the major competitions for them.
We went to a Russian buffet called Grabli on first evening and it was very cheap and surprisingly good (near Tverskaya metro), yesterday Lepim i Varim and pelmens (yummy! modern and trad types), today Georgian food at Khachapuri, which I hear is a chain, but very good. Tomorrow who knows!

I really hope Evgenia is okay. She has worked so hard despite all her haters. I hope she is fully recovered. It is always scarey until we see her; I don't want to jump the gun about missed practices but it is odd we don't have public sightings of her yet practising.

No Tsum yet, but there are still days... We live in the Tverskaya district which is very nice and posh Cafe Pushkin is on the list - and actually very close, but we've tried other places nearby for dinner first. After the Grand Prix in Grenoble it is a relief to get proper food at almost all hours - the strict lunch and dinner times in France worked poorly with the competition schedules!

Megasport is not too far from metro. About 15 minutes walking or less than 5 minutes on bus 818 which stops closely to blue ramp or not far from red ramp.we headed out to the Megasport arena. Which is not in the most idyllic part of Moscow, which is very far away from the nearest metro station (there is a bus, we discovered leaving).
And I'm jealous of you, for having been to Russia and Moscow!!I am so jealous, Lepim i Varim is one of my favourite places in Moscow, and don't even get me started on Khachapuri
Speaking of the Megasport arena, I whined myself sensless last year going to Rostelecom Cup, because the metro station was so darn far from the venue. And my Moscow home was 2 steps from a metro station so I was very spoiled, but I didn't realise that until I googled the distance from Dinamo metro to Megasport and found out it was mere 1,5 km.
Enjoy Moscow and Europeans! Wish I was there myself right now :yay:
