    Although it's known to everyone as St. Basil's, this legendary building is officially called "The Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat". The popular alternative refers to Basil the Blessed, a Muscovite 'holy fool' who was buried on the site (in the Trinity Cathedral that once stood here) a few years before the present building was erected.

    I've visited Moscow and Saint-Petersburg with my mother by the end of May and beginning of June 2004. We purchased a package in Switzerland whereas the accommodation, the visits and excursions as well as the private tour guides and drivers for each city were included.

    After a relatively sound night on the overnight train to Moscow, we arrived at Leningradsky railway station and again started our trawl through the city in hope of finding a hotel. Unfortunately, we had not read the guide books thoroughly enough before leaving and we discovered (a little too late) that there are very few hotels (especially cheap ones) in Russia and that you are generally advised not to visit the country without having previously booked. This is partly due to availability and partly due to the Russian's general distrust of foreign people.

    It has been less than one year since I left Moscow after studying in the city for 6 months. And it is ironic now that upon my departure all of my new friends were saying goodbye as if it would be forever. I aaured then that it was not a permanent goodbye; that I would be back. Yeah, yeah they probably though, everyone says that...
