The city, which looked different and strange, impressed me by its ability to change. My days back in Russia were divided between official meetings, hours wasted in traffic jams, and nights spent with old friends who tried to show me the best of Moscow nightlife.
不久前，阔别5年的我重返莫斯科。这座城市看上去不同而且怪异，其变化的能力令我感到惊讶。我返回俄国的日子白天参加官方会议，在交通拥堵中浪费几个钟头，晚上则跟着老友领略莫斯科最繁华的夜生活。
