In the video today, I'm in Moscow
I travelled by car to reach Moscow
It took 12 hours
Maybe 13 hours
I don't remember
Anyway it was a long way for me
Because I couldn't sleep
So, I arrive in Moscow
I'm so excited
because it's y last days in Russia
before my come back to France
And because it's Moscow and everybody talked about it
I heard about Moscow during all my trip in Russia
So I couldn't wait to discover the city
I planned to be in the center and visit all, to walk around the city...
And the day after...
I found Jose Antonio !
And we were going to spend the day together, and I wanted to hang out in Moscow
I wanted to know the night life in Moscow
And in fact... Nothing happend like I imagined
And how I wanted it happens...
I arrived at the hostel, and the don't accept me...
because I don't have the immigration paper
When you enter on Russian territory they give you this paper
So i had it two months and a half ago when I came
in Moscow's airport
Ad I don't know...I threw it
In fact, they gave to me the paper without explication so...
I had no idea the importance of it
Every hotels in Moscow ask you this immigration card
In addition to your Visa and your passport
It's really secure and the do't make joke with the law
So keep it...
But, I didn't have it
So, I arrive, I pay the hotel
And then, he asked me the paper
He told me, that no, I can't stay here...
So, He told me to go to redo le paper...
I asked him, where and if people speaks english there...
So anyway i'm going to the departement
I haven't watched the videos yet
But I can explain ou fastly...
I went to the department and I waited 2 hours
Without any informations or someone who could help me
And only one person in all the department who could speak English
So, you have a ticket with a number
And the employee who had to make it
didn't want to help me
it bothered him that I didn't speak Russian
I'm going there
I was so sad because I just wanted to sleep when I arrived
I arrived at 9 to the hotel
I didn't sleep in the car t wasn't comfortable
So he gave to me the adress, it's 15/20 min by walk
2 or 3 hours later I just got off the office
I asked to an employee to call the hotel to explain the situation
Because I can't get the immagration card today because she are all busy
But the hotel still say that they need it
Basically, I booked and paid an hotel that i can't stay
And because I booked on Booking, I can't cancel like that
It's five days before or they don't give your money back
And it's they same for every hotels in Moscow
So, no money no hotel
They're real sticklers for the rules
that passes above all
and before the human side
And I have a problem with that
But anyway
Each to his own
Rules are really not the most important for me
that is last
So i'm going to see with the hostel what they can do
If they can't do anything
I really don't understand this life
The weather is bad so if i have to sleep outside...too bad
I even can't use couchsurfing
It's too late for tonight
for a friday night
No, thursday
It means i have to be at the hostel, request people, wait the answers
Ad i won't know where they live because they don't precise their place in couchsurfing
Moscow is a hug city...
There are some who live very far away from the city
But you only write Moscow on the website
Anyway
It's noisy, so i let you know later
We came back to the department
I'm with Denis who works at the hostel
He was so sad for me I was lost so he proposed me his help
So we went there because he said it wasn't nornal I couldn't get the paper
And the reason is because they are too busy today to make it
So, now we are going to the polce office
To signal i lost the immigration card
I just arrived in my room
After one day without knowing... what i will do
So one day for that
The last time, i recorded when we went back to the department
But it didn't work
And they suggered us to go to the police office
to make the declaration
It could works to make a new one...
Ad to sleep at the hostel...
And i'm so grateful to the guy who helps me
Because I couldn't do it by myself
I had to fil up a document in russian...
With the proof of the lost paper etc
So he did it for me
I was so lucky at the end
And everytimes I have problems, I met someone who helped me a lot
And i can see the human side of people...
Very small room with four beds
I think people live here
Anyway i don't know
I'm going to sleep, i'm very tired now
It's 6pm
