Mustache Man

20 million people live in Moscow, meaning public transportation is very popular. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the underground was jam packed with people. We've all heard about how they treat people in Japan and push them onto the trains, this was exactly what it was like. We board the train by walking at a normal pace and suddenly out of nowhere get shoved at the speed of light into the opposite side. I landed face to face with a fat russian man wearing a fur coat. His mustache was almost tickling my nose as I was praying to god he wouldn't burp in my face. Not one of the most pleasant experiences as we were stuck like this for ten minutes. Disembarking was also crazy as everyone is in such a rush and frantic to get out before the doors close (the drivers don't care if people are boarding at the time, if they want to go they go). I was facing the wrong way so got shoved (more like carried) by the crowd and almost fell into the crack between the train and the platform. I managed to grab hold of Hannas jacket and keep myself upright, although nearly ripping her coat off in the process- literally. All in all an interesting experience.
