I love the Moscow metro. It is amazing.
A quote
"When you are taking a train to the center of Moscow you hear a male announcer. But as soon as you cross the city center you'll hear a female voice announcing stations. There's a good mnemonic rule: 'your boss calls you to work; your wife calls you home'

What YMMV means. I could have used it every time I boasted about getting 2000 miles from a pair of trainers.
(Your mileage may vary.)
