I arrived tonight to Moscow and the post arrival process, i.e. customs and getting the train to Belorussky, was very smooth. I have never been able to catch the 19:00 train earlier (19:30 or 20:00 is more common) but this time I did so with a 30-second margin.<\/p>\n
When leaving Zurich the Aeroflot personnel tried, and succeeded, to scare me. Since I have more stamps from Russian customs than usual they were a bit unsure regarding my visa. With my visa you are not allowed to stay more than 90 days in Russia within any 180 day period. I had not counted the days I have spent in Russia but I did look through my calendar and found that I was well on the right side of the limit and they seemed to reach the same conclusion. I guess my stays are shorter than average, usually three to four days, and if they were more like a week I would have been on the limit.<\/p>\n
This time I will be the one greeting Tanya to Moscow, not the other way around, since she is arriving tomorrow from St Petersburg.

Tomorrow evening we might go and watch the CSKA juniors playing a play-off game in Kharlamov Cup<\/a> which is the final rounds of MHL<\/a>. The Moscow teams did not succeed this season in KHL<\/a> but so far Mattias Weinhandl<\/a> and his SKA St Petersburg<\/a> are doing really well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I arrived tonight to Moscow and the post arrival process, i.e. customs and getting the train to Belorussky, was very smooth.
