(This hasn't checked for mistakes either but all the same, enjoy xx)

I boarded the plane and sat in my seat next to the window. It was a big plane and the man sat next to me was Chinese. Or Japanese. I wasn't quite sure but he wasn't very good company, not that that bothered me.

For the first part of the of the journey I read a magazine that was provided and then I fell asleep. It was turbulence that woke me up as we were starting to land. I stared outside. It was dark with billion of little lights. There wasn't any snow on the runway. I stared in awe taking it all in.

I practically ran off the plane and tried to be as quick as possible to get my bag and go the through all the security checks. That itself took an extra thirty minutes. I didn't bother putting on a coat simply because the weather wouldn't bother me too much. I bought a cheap digital camera and went outside into the blistering wind. I don't think a week will be long enough.

The buildings were beautiful and intricate. A few blocks into Moscow there was a three star hotel, bed and breakfast. I booked a room for a week. The woman gave me the keys to my room and I ran up to my room and pounced onto the bed. The mattress practically swallowed me up and all the pillows kindly suffocated me.

"Best week ever!" I almost shouted and then laughed.

I got changed into something a little more lady like and then re-ventured back outside.

I went to bar and ordered some chips. I didn't want to spend too long eating. A man bought me a vodka and coke. Then he tried teaching me some Russian which really wasn't going down to well. He kindly told me best places to go in Moscow.

I left then and looked around until midnight. Party goers were out in force.

I grew tired and went back to my room. I fell asleep instantly not really dreaming.

I woke up pretty early and got breakfast just in time. I put the same clothes on as yesterday. My camera was charged and so I took as many pictures as plausible.

I went into a hand made jewellery shop. It was pretty expensive but everything was so intricate and beautiful. I picked up a deep blue bracelet with so much detail I couldn't possibly not get it. I went to the counter and found the man from last night stood there.

"You?" He said in his Russian accent amazingly.

"My names Kaylah." I laugh.

"I'm Nikolih. 45, half price." I thank him and hand over the money. He puts the clasp around my wrist.

"It looks perfect on you." He states smiling.

"Thank you!" I flash him a smile. A meaningful smile. I felt so happy here.

I left then and shopped around in different places. I tried some traditional food and made all the waiters laugh as I tried to pronounce the food. One thing I noticed was that all the waiters were too good looking. I had a pretty expensive first day because I bought a lot of traditional things. The waiters had told me that the women got dressed up to go to meals so I went out and bought a skin tight gold dress.

I wore that when I went out to the same place where I ate my dinner. The same staff were working. They showed me too a table.

"Is this okay?" I question the waiter even though it was a lot more busy now.

"Perfect. Like a true a Russian!" He bows and gets me a glass of champagne.

"Thank you very much." I laugh.

"If you were single, I would ask you on a date." He flirts.

"Who said I was dating?"

"Beautiful woman like you? Of course you have a partner."
