MOSCOW.

Москва́, 2011.

Wish I could have posted less pictures, but I come from Brazil, where Russia is considered to be "the other side of the world", so you can't imagine how happy I was to made it there - mostly I can blame the fact back when I was 15, I first read a Che Guevara book, which influenced my life in more aspects I could realized till now, almost 15 years later. 

Besides making the will of traveling all over grown on me, was my first deep contact with Russian culture (if you know about Che, you know how they relate). I got more and more fascinated over the years, the language, the culture, the design and soviet props (books, products packages, food, clothes) are still a big fetish of mine. In top of that, I had the best time in Moscow, been surprised by how warm the Russians are and I plan to return for a whole month next year to travel around the country and learn the language better. Can't wait to extend my life over there as well.
