Chapter 339: "An Ant"
Foreigners who travel in Russia need to apply for something like a temporary residence permit in China if they stay in the same city for 7 working days (some say 5 working days), excluding Saturdays and Sundays, and if they don't do so, they will be found by the police, and the consequences will be very serious! If you don't stay in the same city for 7 working days, you don't need to apply for it, for example, you went to St. Petersburg after staying in Moscow for three days, and returned to Moscow three days later, and 7 days will be counted again from the day you return to Moscow. Generally, large hotels will do it for you free of charge, but small hotels may charge a fee, which usually costs about 800 rubles.
The hotel where Zhang Feng stayed asked if he had handled it when Zhang Feng checked in, and when he saw that Zhang Feng didn't understand, he didn't say much, so he directly took the temporary residence permit to Zhang Feng, and didn't receive a penny!
The temporary residence permit is an A4 slip of paper with a stamp, and the name of the temporary residence permit in Russian seems to be Регистрация, which is difficult to remember.
One of the main reasons why Zhang Feng chose to stay in this hotel is that the famous "An Ant" in Moscow is not far away, which is quite great for Zhang Feng who likes new things!
So after checking in, Zhang Feng decisively threw down the bag and ran into "an ant", here it needs to be explained that "an ant" is just a name for the Chinese, in fact, it just sounds like "an ant", if you ask the local "an ant" where the market is, he must be blindfolded!
But the address is easy to find, no matter where you live, as long as you can reverse to the dark blue metro line 3, take the "guerrilla" (Партизанская) station and get off, a few steps to the right of the subway station will see a gate with letters of various colors, and go inside to the "One Ant" flea market.
The flea market is crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, and there are a few regular stalls that are open, and many locals come here on Saturdays and Sundays to set up stalls to sell some of their own things, and sometimes you can find something good!
There are many 24-hour convenience stores near the hotel where Zhang Feng stays, and there is a shopping mall, but there is no larger supermarket nearby. Most of the things in the 24-hour convenience store are the same, the price is about the same, there are several stores selling cooked food and wraps, and there is also a Burger King nearby, which is convenient to solve the catering problem! If you want to find a larger supermarket, Zhang Feng explored, and found that there are two places worth recommending, one is the hunter shop near the subway station of Line 1, where there is a relatively large food supermarket, you can look for it if you need it, chocolates and alcoholic beverages are cheaper than the so-called duty-free shop, and it is also cheaper than the 24-hour convenience store near the hotel for tourists;
The second is where the largest supermarket and shopping mall in Moscow are located, take the orange line of the metro No. 6 and get off at Lenin Boulevard (Ленинскийпроспект), exit the subway station, across the road you can see a building with a sign of a bird, this building is a variety of small shops and a two-story supermarket, the upper floor of the supermarket is daily necessities, the lower floor is food. The plastic bags provided by the supermarket are free of charge, but they are a bit thin, so please bring your own sturdy bags if necessary. Behind the supermarket building is an international brand discount mall, where cosmetics or other European imported clothing are available, and in Zhang's opinion, it is still worth visiting.
The hotel where Zhang Feng stayed was originally the Olympic Village of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, not far from the Forest Park, Zhang Feng walked for a while, saw many strange buildings, and knew that the market was coming, and the place similar to the playground was where the "an ant" flea market was located.
The entrance to the "One Ant" flea market is the entrance to the "One Ant" flea market, and you can see the entrance to the market by following the road to the "Guerrilla" station.
On the first day, Zhang Feng chose to visit the vicinity of the Kremlin, the heart of Moscow and the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation. Take the subway to the No. 1 Red Line Lenin Library Station, the No. 1 Red Line Hunter Mall Station, and the No. 4 Sky Blue Line Alexander Garden Station, Zhang Feng is doing Line 4, because you can go to the Alexander Garden to see, you can see the Kremlin at the subway exit, find the Alexander Garden, and there is a small house in the middle that is the ticket office.
The church package (excluding the tower) is 500 rubles, the armory is 700 rubles, no photo ticket is required, no photos are allowed inside the building, and the exterior of the building is taken casually. Please do not cross the cordon when visiting the Kremlin, otherwise the police will blow the whistle to stop it, and if you continue to cross the line, you will be shouted to stop, and if you continue to cross the line, you may be shot, so be careful!
The church group is relatively centralized, and there are free Chinese brochures available inside. After Zhang Feng visited the Kremlin, he went out from the door opposite the pedestrian crossing outside the garden, and after walking a few steps, he saw the Basilica of Vasily's Ascension, which is the most photographed onion head building in the Russian tourism brochure, the church ticket is 350 rubles, no photography ticket, except for a few places where photography is not allowed, other places are not allowed to shoot casually, but the use of flash is not allowed (later Zhang Feng found that all museums in Russia are not allowed to use flash), there is a room in the church with singing chants, you can sit down and listen quietly, and after that, you can buy records if you like it (well, it is actually a seller, but the singing is really good, Zhang Feng couldn't help but pay for one) 。
"The computer doesn't seem to have a CD-ROM ......drive," Zhang Feng muttered, put away the things and walked, there was nothing to see inside the church, after all, he had just left from France, and he had seen too many things, if he was not amazed, he would be bored when he saw it.
Zhang Feng came out of the cathedral to see Red Square and Lenin's Tomb, opposite Red Square is the Gum shopping mall, the toilet on the third floor of the shopping mall is free! There are a number of ice cream carts on the first floor of the shopping mall, mainly sweet cones and chocolate crispy popsicles, both 50 rubles a piece, the taste is super good, a variety of flavors: brown is chocolate flavor (it feels like coffee flavor, not quite like chocolate), white is plain, green is cantaloupe flavor, pink is strawberry flavor, Purple is blueberry flavored, and there is a mixture of pink and purple, Zhang Feng chose white and green, and the chocolate crispy popsicle tastes good.
Outside the gate at the end of Red Square is the road zero kilometer sign, it is said that throwing coins here will bring good luck, anyway, many people passing by here will throw coins, next to a homeless man dressed as a person picking up coins thrown by tourists nearby, and a bit of a circle, others picked him up and scolded the street there...... Turn around from the zero sign to see the bronze statue of Zhukov in front of the main entrance, the National History Museum happened to be closed on the day Zhang Feng went, and he couldn't understand Russian, so he simply didn't go in, and took a few photos at the door and flashed.
