Around The World goes to Moscow
Moscow is half way around the world from California. Flying into Moscow's Domodedovo Airport is located about an hour (or more depending upon traffic) from central Moscow. There is a taxi desk at the airport where you can pay in advance and a it is a safer way than going with some of the renegade drivers around the airport. An alternative is taking the Aeroexpress into town and then using the Metro.
Moscow's Red Square is is named red not because of Communism or because of the red buildings but derived from a Russian word that once meant beautiful - and now translates to the word red: No one can forget the frightening images of Soviet military parades with rows of marching cadets, tanks and missiles. But that has all changed since Perestroika. One is more likely to see skating rinks, rock concerts or fashion shows these days.
But much of what one sees today at Red Square is not old.
The original Resurrection Gate was destroyed in 1931 but rebuilt in 1996
The original Kazan Cathedral built in the 17 century was destroyed by Soviet authorities in 1936. But blueprints of the building survived and in 1989 it was rebuilt.
But the iconic St. Basil's cathedral is the original which was ordered to be built in 1560 by Ivan the Terrible. A brave architect named Baranovsky was ordered to destroy the cathedral but refused and sent a blunt telegram to the Kremlin which eared him 5 years in prison... but fortunately saved the cathedral and today it is a museum.
There are a couple of five-star hotels in Moscow. The Ararat Park Hyatt is a close walk from Red Square and almost next door to the Bolshoi Theater. With 206 rooms, they have an Armenian and Japanese restaurant and a top floor bar and lounge. The rooms are modern and high tech. Good lines on a king size bed, bedside controls that operate temperature, drapes, lights and things I couldn't even understand. The bathrooms are large with lots of glass, mirrors and dark woods with both bath and separate shower.
The Diamond Fund is a fabulous collection of Russia's state jewels. The original collection dates back to Peter the Great who created the collection which would belong to the state - never to be sold or given away ... only to be added to. But in 1926 2/3rds of the priceless collection was auction off at Christie's in London to raise funds for a struggling Soviet economy. But there are still amazing things including the Orlov Diamond, the world's largest sapphire and numerous Faberge Eggs. Next to the Diamond fund is a separate museum, The Armory Chamber. There are dazzling silver and gold tableware from the Tsar's time, ceremonial weapons, and carriages including the sled that Catherine The Great traveled from St. Petersburg to Moscow in 3-days for her coronation.
The Bolshoi theater dates back to 1776 and today's Bolshoi Theater opened Tsar Alexander II's coronation day in 1856. But recently the theater has been in turmoil over an acid attack on the artistic director in January. Then in March a prima ballerina claimed the the theater was a big brothel and dancers were high-class prostitutes.
The Ritz Carlton is right next to Red Square and many of the 334 guest rooms have views of the stunning sites. With 11 floors and a Ritz Carlton Club - it has many amenities for the traveler. To hotel and rooms have a clubby feel enhanced by the dark cherry and burl wood. The rooms are elegant with Frette linens, marble bathrooms, electronic finger controlled panels for lights, drapes and all in-room technology.
One of the more popular dining destinations is Cafe Pushkin, a traditional Russian restaurant with great borsch and people watching. Getting around Moscow can be challenging- especially with the bandit taxi problems. Walking or taking the metro are the best options.
The Moscow metro dates back to 1935 and with 12 lines and 188 stations. Those station's names are written in Cyrillic so if one isn't fluent - it takes a little advance planning. There is marble and mosaic and many claim that the Russian Metro is the most beautiful in the world. With over 7 million passengers weekly - it certainly is one of the more crowded Metros in the world.
The eternal flame at the Tomb of The Unknown solider next to the Kremlin Wall is a moving sight. It holds the remains of soldiers killed in the Battle of Moscow in 1941. Inscribed is Your name is unknown , your deed immortal
The City of Moscow is also immortal. For more visit atw.tv

Wikipedia
Soho is an area of the City of Westminster, part of the West End of London. Originally a fashionable district for the aristocracy, it has been one of the main entertainment districts in the capital since the 19th century.
The area was developed from farmland by Henry VIII in 1536, when it became a royal park. It became a parish in its own right in the late 17th century, when buildings started to be developed for the upper class, including the laying out of Soho Square in the 1680s. St Anne's Church was established during the late 17th century, and remains a significant local landmark; other churches are the Church of our Lady of the Assumption and Saint Gregory and St Patrick's Church in Soho Square. The aristocracy had mostly moved away by the mid-19th century, when Soho was particularly badly hit by an outbreak of cholera in 1854. For much of the 20th century Soho had a reputation as a base for the sex industry in addition to its night life and its location for the headquarters of leading film companies. Since the 1980s, the area has undergone considerable gentrification. It is now predominantly a fashionable district of upmarket restaurants and media offices, with only a small remnant of sex industry venues. London's gay community is centred on Old Compton Street in Soho.
Soho's reputation as a major entertainment district of London stems from theatres such as the Windmill Theatre on Great Windmill Street and the Raymond Revuebar owned by entrepreneur Paul Raymond, and music clubs such as the 2i's Coffee Bar and the Marquee Club. Trident Studios was based in Soho, and the nearby Denmark Street has hosted numerous music publishing houses and instrument shops from the 20th century onwards. The independent British film industry is centred around Soho, including the British headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox and the British Board of Film Classification offices. The area has been popular for restaurants since the 19th century, including the long-standing Kettner's which was visited by numerous celebrities. Near to Soho is London's Chinatown, centred on Gerrard Street and containing several restaurants.

SUMMARY
=======
Moscow (; Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskvá, IPA: [mɐˈskva] (listen)) is the capital and most populous city of Russia, with 13.2 million residents within the city limits and 17 million within the urban area. Moscow is one of Russia's federal cities.
Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific centre of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city (both by population and by area) entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the 14th largest metro area, the 18th largest agglomeration, the 14th largest urban area, and the 11th largest by population within city limits worldwide. According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is also one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world according to the MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index.
Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the second-tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center. By its territorial expansion on July 1 2012 southwest into the Moscow Oblast, the area of the capital more than doubled, going from 1,091 to 2,511 square kilometers (421 to 970 sq mi), resulting in Moscow becoming the largest city on the European continent by area; it also gained an additional population of 233,000 people.Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, making it Europe's most populated inland city. The city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colourful architectural style. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world, having the largest forest in an urban area within its borders—more than any other major city—even before its expansion in 2012.
The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Russian Empire to the Soviet Union and the contemporary Russian Federation.
Moscow is the seat of power of the Government of Russia, being the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence for work of the President of Russia. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in the city. Moscow is considered the centre of Russian culture, having served as the home of Russian artists, scientists and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions and theatres.
The city is served by a transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, the fourth-largest in the world and largest outside Asia in terms of passenger numbers, and the busiest in Europe. It is recognised as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its 200 stations.Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), the Whitestone One (Белокаменная), the First Throne (Первопрестольная), the Forty Soroks (Сорок Сороков) (sorok meaning both forty, a great many and a district or parish in Old Russian).
Moscow is also one of the twelve Hero Cities. The demonym for a Moscow res ...

SUMMARY
=======
Chittagong (), officially known as Chattogram, is a major coastal city and financial centre in southeastern Bangladesh. The city has a population of more than 2.5 million while the metropolitan area had a population of 4,009,423 in 2011, making it the second-largest city in the country. It is the capital of an eponymous District and Division. The city is located on the banks of the Karnaphuli River between the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the Bay of Bengal. Much of Chittagong Division is located within the ecological Indo-Burma zone on the boundary of the India Plate and Burma Plate. This makes Chittagong the crossroads of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
The natural harbour of Chittagong is an ancient gateway to the region of Bengal. It was noted as one of the largest Eastern ports by the Roman geographer Ptolemy in the 1st century. As part of the rich seafaring tradition of the Bengali people, coastal Chittagong was settled and ruled by different regional kingdoms. Arab traders saw well-developed currency, banking and shipping in Chittagong during the 9th century. Early cosmopolitan Muslims established dominance over the port as an entrepôt of maritime trade, while Arakan, Bengal and Tripura competed for control of the wider hinterland. Muslim conquest took place in the 14th century. Chittagong became the principal port of the Bengal Sultanate. It was used by several leading medieval global explorers, including Ibn Battuta and Niccolò de' Conti. Later, Mrauk U, with assistance from Portuguese trading posts, gained control of the area. The Mughal conquest of Chittagong reestablished Bengali control and ushered an era of stability and trade. The city was renamed as Islamabad. This diverse history is reflected in the rural Chittagonian dialect of Bengali, which has a nearly 50% Arabic-origin vocabulary, as well as Persian and Portuguese loanwords.Ceded to the British East India Company in 1760, Chittagong became the chief port of Eastern Bengal and Assam under the British Raj, as well as a hub of railways. A notable anti-colonial uprising took place in 1930. It was an important base for Allied forces during the Burma Campaign in World War II. Rapid industrialization followed the war, as Chittagong became part of East Pakistan. During the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, Chittagong was site of the country’s declaration of independence.
Modern Chittagong is an important economic hub in South Asia. It is home to the Chittagong Stock Exchange and many of Bangladesh's oldest and largest companies. The Port of Chittagong is the largest international seaport on the Bay of Bengal. It is the largest base of the Bangladesh Navy. Chittagong is reputed as a relatively clean city, but still confronts substantial logistical and socioeconomic problems. The mountainous hinterland of Chittagong is the most biodiverse region in Bangladesh, with 2000 endemic plants and various critically endangered wildlife.
