Brief Introduction of the Blog

Welcome to another TajARiff Blog Series

(Добро пожаловать в другой TajAriff Blog Series)

This blog is being developed to share with readers my first experience being in this great city. The main intention is to visit "T"who has been in the city since Oct 2011 to pursue her study in one of medical universities in Moscow. Even though we have been to major cities in the world ( refer to TajAriff blog series namely "Tajariff-World Tours Series"), visiting Moscow has been a unique experience for myself and the family. Moscow is unique and different in many ways to other cities in the world. It could be easily observed and reflected in respect of its people, cultures, customs, language, food and religion. Our short stay in the city was a fantastic, exciting and memorable one .

Among others, I am really thrilled with Russian nesting dolls (matrioshka, matryoshka, babushka doll, stacking dolls) which is the most popular Russian national souvenir. The wide fame was won by Russian matryoshka nesting doll far abroad. At all large exhibitions, fairs, the festivals held in different counties of the world, amusing cheerful nesting dolls are most fascinating exhibits. Also it seems, that matroyshka nesting doll has come to us from a gray-haired antiquity, from the world of legends and fairy tales.

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest appreciation to those who have been assisting me in one way or another to make my stay an exciting one. Thanks to all T 's collegues ,seniors in Dom 35 and 39 ,(Tan Sri,Chan,Rama, Nadhirah,Ogie, Nad, Zyrith, Shaz, Shakir, Hod, Azim and others) and of course to Prof whom I have a pleasure to meet and have a brief chat with him while I was there. He is a great humble Russian. I wish I would be able to interact with more T 's lecturers in my future visit...

11 Sept 2011-Off she went back for Moscow again !!!!

11 th Sept 2011 was the day when T left us again to chase her dream. It was not an easy moment for her to leave us again after spending a fantastic and enjoyable moments ( almost 3 months) with her families , friends and relatives. We left for KLIA after isya' and drove through a cold ,wet and rainy night . As usual, we never have been a light traveler so do. She has 2 luggage ( medium sizes)weighed almost 35 kg.... exceeding by 5kg . Besides, she has a laptop backpack, a cabin bag and of course lady handbag...... I guessed it was probably too much for her to take on her own....

Would U like to guess what she was taking with her in the bags? he he he . I believe you will know what are inside the heavy bags if U have ever been a student studying overseas before.....

But deep in my heart, I knew she will be able to manage them safely .

We went to have our light dinner together as a family in McD... chatting while trying to explore our feelings together as families

Soon after that we went for baggage check in . After completing all the normal procedures in the airport , she and her friends were ready to depart for Moscow via Dubai at about 2 am. As expected, parents ,relatives were there to send them off ......hugging with tears on their eyes were usual scene between the loved ones . Similarly, we did the same . It was a very touching moments indeed even though not as bad as the first trip last years

All the best to U my dear.... Have a pleasant 14 hours flight (KLIA- Dubai - Moscow) and stay in Moscow...... See U soon either in Moskva or KL insyaAllah...

Good bye my beloved "T"...Take Good Care of Yourself... May Allah Guide and bless u always

See all of you again in the next series " Welcome to Moscow Series 2 (2011-2112)
