Around and about Moscow..

FINALLY i've the time to visit the tourist sites in Moscow after 3 months!!

If u havent visited Red Square, u have not visited Moscow! so i decided to take a day off ytd to go around moscow.. Starting the journey at the Moscow Zoopark which is free to all MMA students.. and then to Red Square.

Ok the zoo was pretty good.. but its freakin huge. It occupies both sides of the main road n there's an overhead bridge that connects both parts. I'm not gonna say much bout the zoo cos almost all the zoos r the same.. soo a few pics shall do it!
















Thats us at the many ponds they have scattered wit lotsa ducks n geese.
















The raccoons were all hiding. Here's one i manage to snap a pic of..
















Animal statues XD
















Snow owl
















A polar bear that is trained to walk the same path over n over again for the whole day..
















Mountain goat..
















Me taking pics XD
















Mountain goat again..
















At the butterfly section.
















A hornbill in moscow!
















Madagascan cockroaches..
















Looks familiar? go look at ur form 5 bio text books! ( chapter 4!! )
















orangutan in moscow!! (s)he doesnt like to be stared at..

then we snap a final pic at a wonderful sculpture before leaving the zoo to go to Red Square..





















haha.. then perfect timing we arrived at Red Square at sunfall. Jus nice when all the lights r on. there're 2 diff views in red square. during the daytime everything looks nice but when the sun goes down.. WOW.

Another nice x'mas tree in Red Square..





















Some cool statue XD
















Entrance to a park..

















The eternal flame.. It is claimed that the flame can nvr be put out no matter wat u do to it.. being the actions of man or nature.. nothing can put it out. NO WONDER it is so well guarded.. so that NOTHING can go near it.. LOL.

Then we made our final stop at an underground shopping complex.. where they have beautiful fountains like this one..

















Majestic.. it is located right below the World Clock. I'll be returning to Red Square after my finals to see the daytime view of Red Square..
