Just from watching Real Russia's videos of a trip to Moscow. They have a vast network of underground walkways so people can walk around freely through the long winters. Very nice coffee shops that make Starbucks look like chopped liver. Lots of gorgeous architecture. Very cheap public transportation. Fresh air markets. Supermarkets. Night clubs that seem more like the stuff of novels than most of the ones we have here. Lots of nice apartments and homes. I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of the things Sergei was showing us.


pipe up any time....
