Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

If you want my advice (knowing a lot of people that worked there), if you are travelling in a limo, hire at least 2 armed minders. Those Lada estates are sitting ducks!!  |

Well Heid's words of warning reminded me. When the Visa guy at the Embassy saw what Hotel I was staying at (you have to give them all that sort of info) he said "oh dear, that's one of the old "Soviet-style" hotels. Not sure what that means.....
The russian guy I work with here tells me this is difficult to explain, but it will be plainly obvious once you walk into the lobby He know the hotel and he tells me, built in the 1930s. Will be clean, tidy, everything in it is place. Totally safe, but get ready to enjoy the sound of latex gloves being pulled on, slapping against the skin. No entry to the hotel after 11pm (Soviet rule, possibly still applied in any such hotel). Ready at all times to show your identification. If you leave the hotel, take your passport ready to show the uniformed officer....I mean doorperson on your return, otherwise you may not get back in. |

Also I'm advised that during the night at the hotel you will recieve numerous phone calls from girls with high prices but do not come with any recommendations.
Alll in all, prepare to enjoy the full "soviet experience".
We have ways of making you talk....

Well I've never thought about it before, but that hair must look a bit dodgy to the immigration guys  |
