It was an amazing and great feeling visiting Russia for the first time and it wasy first time world cup experience in a multicultural event. It was a really fascinating feeling when we arrived at moscow sheremetyevo airport. What i want to talk about is when we wanted to travel to saint petersburg for the england and croatia match in semi-final it was an amazing cloudy day in moscow when in the morning we headed for some walk around the city and had our flight ticket at 4am in moscow to saint petersburg, when we wanted to get a metro to near the airport, It was already closed since we didnt know the metro was going to get closed at 1am. Which it made us to be in hurry to get to the airport since the airport was about 1hr away from the city centre by a taxi! We were afraid that we were not going to make it to the airport and miss our flight. And unfortunately that was true. We missed our flight to st. Petersburg then we checked if there is any other flights to st. Petersburg on that day to make it to the england and croatia match. fortunately we found a ticket and it was at 2 in the afternoon which was too late but we had no choices so we booked that ticket and waited till that time all exhausted and so sleepy since we could not sleep that night. It was like 32hrs without sleep and when we made it to st petersburg it was almost 4pm we were too late for the match, since we already had decided to be there 2 hrs ahead of the match time. But we couldnt we hurriedly booked a hotel to put our luggage in and go to the match before it starts. It was too late though but with all the tiredness and sleepiness we could make it to the match! What a feeling! It was the most beautiful story i could ever make through my trip to the world cup in russia. Although we were so tired but we could forget all the tiredness and enjoyed the match inside all the audiences and the people were all so motivated and screaming. All were encouraging their beloved teams. Well i was the fan of England. But unfortunately we lost the match. But i was no worried about losing nor winning. Because we already won by putting a lot of effort to make it to the match and we did. So we enjoyed all the time we were in the stadium meeting different people from different cultures and countries. This was a feeling which i am not going to forget to the rest of my life!
