While navigating Moscow metro you can always determine the direction of the train by the gender of the announcer.
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'.
On the ring line the clock-wise direction submits to the male voice, while counterclockwise direction is under the guidance of fair sex.
This system was initially invented to help the blind. Listening to announcements you can find your way even if you don't understand the language. You'll learn more curious fact during your Moscow tours.
