Dasha: Student from Komi
Dasha was standing by a Moscow metro station in her red winter hat, red pants and Timberland-style boots and on her way to St Petersburg for the long weekend.

When I passed by, he was completing an order for one of my favorite Moscow restaurants. He said business has gotten tougher.

As I tried to take Gleb's photo, two intoxicated men came over to ask for money and have their photo taken. They were rather rambunctious and Gleb found them funny. I took this photo as he laughed along with them.
