Global Food Tour

Chapter 339 "An Ant"

Foreigners who travel in Russia, stay in the same city for 7 working days (some say 5 working days), excluding Saturdays and Sundays, need to apply for something like a Chinese temporary residence permit, if not, they will be checked by the police If you do, the consequences will be serious!If you don’t stay in the same city for 7 working days, you don’t need to apply. For example, after staying in Moscow for three days, you go to St. Petersburg and return to Moscow three days later. The 7 days will be counted from the day you return to Moscow.Generally, large hotels will handle it for you for free, while small hotels may charge you, usually around 800 rubles.

The hotel Zhang Feng stayed at asked Zhang Feng if he was going to check in. Seeing that Zhang Feng didn't understand, he didn't say much, and directly handed the temporary residence permit to Zhang Feng, but he didn't receive any money!
The temporary residence permit is an A4 note with a seal. The Russian name of the temporary residence permit seems to be Регистрация, which is difficult to remember.

One of the main reasons why Zhang Feng chose to live in this hotel is that the famous "Ant" in Moscow is not far away. For Zhang Feng who likes new things, it is quite good!
So after checking in, Zhang Feng decisively threw down his bag and ran into "an ant". Here we need to explain that "an ant" is just a Chinese name, but in fact it just reads like "an ant". That's all, if you ask a local where the "Ant" market is, he will definitely be confused!
But the address is easy to find, no matter where you live, as long as you can go to the dark blue subway line No. 3, get off at the "Guerrilla" (Партизанская) station, and walk a few steps to the right when you get out of the subway station, you will see a variety of The gate of the color letter, walking inside is the "Ant" flea market.

The flea market is very crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, and there are several fixed stalls open for business. On Saturdays and Sundays, many locals also come here to set up street stalls to sell their own things, and sometimes they can find good things!
There are many 24-hour convenience stores and a shopping mall near the hotel where Zhang Feng is staying, but there is no larger supermarket nearby. Most of the things in the 24-hour convenience store are the same, and the prices are similar. There are several stores selling deli and burritos, and there is Burger King nearby, which is convenient for catering problems!If you want to find a larger supermarket, Zhang Feng found two places worth recommending after exploring. One is the Hunter Store near the subway station of Line 1. There is a relatively large food supermarket there. If you need it, you can look for it. , chocolate and alcoholic beverages are cheaper than the so-called duty-free shops, and cheaper than the 24-hour convenience store for tourists near the hotel;
The second is where the largest supermarket and shopping mall in Moscow are located. Take the orange line of Metro No. 6 and get off at Lenin Avenue (Ленинский проспект) station. When you exit the subway station, you will see a building with a bird sign on the opposite side of the road. In this building is Various small shops and a large two-story supermarket, the upper floor of the supermarket is for daily necessities, and the lower floor is for food.The plastic bags provided by supermarkets are free, but they are a bit thin. If necessary, please prepare a strong bag yourself.Behind the supermarket building is an international brand discount mall, where cosmetics or other European imported clothing are available. In Zhang Feng's opinion, it is worth visiting.

The hotel where Zhang Feng stayed was originally the Olympic Village for the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Not far away was the Forest Park. Zhang Feng walked for a while and saw many strange buildings. He knew that the market was coming, and a place similar to an amusement park was "A Ants” flea market is located.

The subway station where you get off at the "Ant" flea market is called "Guerrilla Station". When you go out from here, you will see a large arched door surrounded by letters, which is the entrance to the "Ant" flea market. Follow the road inside the door and go straight inside to see the gate of the market.

On the first day, Zhang Feng chose to visit near the Kremlin. The Kremlin is the heart of Moscow and the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.Take the subway to Lenin Library Station on Red Line No. 1, Hunter Mall Station on Red Line No. 1, and Alexander Garden Station on Sky Blue Line No. 4. Zhang Feng is on Line 4, because you can go to Alexander Garden to see it. You can see the Kremlin, 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, and the armory is 700 rubles. No photography ticket is required. Photography is not 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 whistle to stop it. If you continue to cross the line, you will be yelled to stop it. If you continue to cross the line, you may be shot. Be careful!
The relative location of the church group is concentrated, and there are free Chinese introductions available for reading.After Zhang Feng visited the Kremlin, he went out from the door directly opposite the crosswalk outside the garden. After a few steps, he saw Basil’s Ascension Cathedral, which is the most photographed onion building in Russian tourist brochures. The entrance fee for the church is 350 rubles. There is no photography ticket. Except for a few places where photography is not allowed, other places are not allowed to take photos, but flashes are not allowed (later Zhang Feng found out that flashes are not allowed in all museums in Russia). There is a room in the church where people sing hymns Sit down and listen quietly, and after you finish it, you can buy the record if you like it (well, it’s actually a seller, but the singing is so good that Zhang Feng couldn’t help but pay for one).

"The computer doesn't seem to have an optical drive..." Zhang Feng muttered, put away his things, and there is nothing to see inside the church. After all, he just left France and saw too many things. It was also tasteless.

Zhang Feng came out of the cathedral and saw the Red Square and the Lenin Mausoleum. Opposite the Red Square is the GUM shopping mall. The toilets on the third floor of the shopping mall are free!There are many ice cream carts on the first floor of the mall, mainly cones and chocolate crispy popsicles, both of which cost 50 rubles each. Too much like chocolate), white is original, green is cantaloupe, pink is strawberry, purple is blueberry, and pink and purple are mixed, Zhang Feng chooses white and green, chocolate crisp The leather popsicle tastes good too. In this season, Zhang Feng eats it purely for fun.

Outside the gate at the end of the Red Square is the zero kilometer sign of the road. It is said that throwing coins here will bring good luck. Anyway, many people passing by here will throw coins. A man dressed as a homeless man next to him picks up the coins thrown by tourists, and there are some circles It means that people picked him up and scolded the street there... Turn around from the zero sign and you can see the bronze statue of Zhukov in front of the main entrance. The National History Museum was closed on the day Zhang Feng went, and the Russian language could not be read I understand, I simply didn't go in, I took a few photos at the door and then disappeared.

　ps: Thank you Wei Liang for the reward of [-] coins.
