The plane was an hour and courtyard minutes late leaving which would have annoyed me but it just means I only spend two hours in a Russian airport so I don't really care! During the flight I saw the flight attendants maybe twice in the whole 9 hours! Even when we called for assistance they would remotely cancel the light and not come until we called 5 or so times, we werebso thirsty! Eventually we managed to get something to drink by a burly Russian Guy dressed in a co pilots uniforms thrust two cups of water into our hands without asking and had gone before we could say thank you!
Just about managed to wars off insanity through boredom and made it to Russia but we had to have our bags rechecked to transfer and while I got through ok after removing my shoes and belt Chris had bought a silver ornamental traditional pipe and the woman jumped on it and demanded he unpack it and then she mimed smoking it while saying 'drugas' meaning drugs! She didn't understand Chris explaining it was ornamental but eventually let him go.
Russia really hasn't changed since I came here years ago, everything is run but ugly old women who are very rude and never smile, very different from china!
On our time its midnight now but only 7pm here and we were up at 6! Gonna try and stay up and sleep when I get home but the time zones are going to make it a crazy long day!
Nearly back!
