Moscow feels like a true metropool, ready to compete with most western metropools, but there are some particularities with it that can only be found in Russia. After arriving from Amsterdam I was ready for my shower to start the Moscow adventure bright and shiny. Not knowing any better I stepped into the bathtub and turned on the water. Icecold!! I wanted to be fresh, but this was a bit overdone.
Once every year the hot water is cut off all over Moscow for a few weeks for maintainance, mainly in the summer months and area per area. One collegue told me that her warm water was cut off in early May when temperatures were still around 0 degrees.
I wasn't complaining, I swear.
Fortunately the warm shower is back again now.
