I was shocked, and even more angry, when I saw the wealth in Moscow. We stayed in an apartment on Novy Arbat. So many people attended the casinos to gamble. DH and myself saw more Bentleys, Ferraris, and other classy cars than anywhere in the US. We looked through realtor magazines and saw apartments costing $30,000 per month...
When we drove to our daughter's hopsital two hours outside of Moscow, we seemed to be in a different country. Her bed was broken, no diapers (at 8 months!), huge clothes held together with rubber bands. I am still angry thinking about this disparity!
