Well, still now official welcome to Moscow sign, but this is just as good. I took this picture the first morning. I went to the factory with my long johns, suit, and a jacket. We ended up waiting (see the next picture) for about 15 minutes outside the gate for our host. I thought my ears and nose were going to freeze and fall off. After the wait, we had to walk about 10 minutes to another building. It took me 2o minutes to feel normal after that walk and wait.
Here’s the gate we waited at for 15 minutes. It doesn’t really sound like a long time, but consider that the instant you step outside the steam coming from you nose as you breathe freezes before it actually leaves you nose.
This is the well surrounding the factory. We believe this used to be a Soviet Weapons manufacturing site before the cold war ended.
We plan to go into Moscow and see Red Square after work. I’m pretty excited about doing that. I’ll post the pictures over the weekend if I have time.
