Moscow Business Zone




Yesterday we went to the Moscow Trade Center to check it out. It took a long time to figure out how to get inside, as there is still a lot of construction going on. The whole area was supposed to be finished already, but because of the crisis, most buildings are still only partially complete. We walked around outside, and inside of the sort-of mall underneath all of the buildings, until a security guard told us to leave. I guess a needed a suit rather than jeans and a t-shirt to fit in. We found some cool restaurants there, but they are most likely out of our price range. The whole area is also difficult to get to, kind of far from the center. At night, it was mostly filled with migrant workers. They work on the skyscrapers, and live in the prefab "barracks" just outside of the Financial District.
