Millie Ball is a travel journalist who works in Times-Picayune in New Orleans, Louisiana, where in 2005 was terrible hurricane Katrina. She had been to Moscow three times previously (last time was in 1991, four days after the coup), but her husband, Keith Marshall, had not been in Moscow before. It is hard to explain how Millie was impressed by all changes in Moscow during last 16 years, here are her worlds: "It's a whole new world since the fall of communism in 1991"...

As an travel journalist, Millie liked to ask questions about everything (cultural life, politic, history and many personal questions), taking pictures (she took one day course from professional photographer, sorry I forgot his name) - by the way, during one sightseeing tour to the park of fallen sculptures I was able to learn one interesting photo shooting technique and going to post one picture from this tour very soon.

As about her husband, Keith Marshall, he likes very much art and he enjoyed to visit Pushkin Fine Art museum (Impressionists), Tretyakov Gallery (modern art).

They liked Moscow very much and I hope more than St. Petersburg, but actually it is not wise to compare such different and interesting cities, but here is appearing my pride for the city where I live and maybe as competition between two "capitals" in Russia :-)...

Recently Millie Ball posted at her blog two interesting stories with photos about her trip to St. Petersburg and Moscow giving her impressions about Russia, important information and wise recommendations for travelers who are coming fist time to discover Russia. Actually I think that this is very interesting information for all people who are curious about what is going on here, in Russia.

Here are recent stories by Millie Ball about her trip to Russia:
1. Moscow: 16 years later
2. St. Petersburg, Russia 16 years later

I wanted to add a few comments in regard to Arthur’s extraordinary services. I spent a total of 4 weeks in Russia, but only 5 days in Moscow. In that compressed span of time, Arthur was instrumental in exposing me to the very best sights of Moscow. I found his company to rewarding, pleasurable, relaxing, and an excellent guide should you desire a native Muscovite to show you the sights and, of course, the excellent Russian cuisine as well. It was my sincere pleasure to have had Arthur as my personal tour guide, interpreter, driver, and all around companion during my sojourn in Moscow. I could not recommend a better personal tour guide for anyone that desires an excellent introduction to Moscow and all that it offers. Clearly, I would use Arthur’s services again should I return to Moscow. Outstanding job, Arthur!
