The "New Jerusalem Monastery" was founded in 1656 and is located 1 hr by car West of Moscow city center. One major part of the architecture is an identical replica of the Cathedral of Sepulchre in Jerusalem including the small chapel beneath its dome, daily attracting hundreds of worshippers.

We took the Trans-Siberian train from Moscow to St Petersburg, 8 hours ride in 3rd class (platzkart) and we didn't regret it at all. We slept very well, the provodnitsa was really kind, but don't expect to find a lot of English speakers there. Body language does wonders :). This is the cup they use for serving tea, i especially liked the metal cup holder, which was beautifully crafted. You can also buy one from the train, I think it was around 800 RUB. And it seemed only appropriate to read the Trans-Siberian Handbook on the way. Dreaming of doing the whole thing from Moscow to Vladivostok one day!
