Vika: Moscow Cafe Waitress
Moscow's food service industry still gets a bad rap, but service quality has improved significantly over the years in my view.

The other problem she notes are the occasional drunk customers that give her extra attention.

Polina & Vita: Testing New Bus Stop
The first heated bus stop opened in Moscow near my flat, so I went to check it out. Of the 10 people waiting for the bus, only two - Polina and Vita - were inside the enclosed glass bus stop.

Polina said she wants to study foreign languages, including Engljsh and maybe Spanish. The photo was taken inside the bus stop.
