Lol! Nice addition with the buttsecks.

Arsen, get in touch with me, I'm dating a Russian girl so I'm trying to learn the lingua.

PhillyB, my gf (from Moscow) says the following:

Russia is a cash country. Don't expect your cards to work. Bring stacks of American dollars, the conversion rate is much better there.

Try not to be conspicuous. You might make urself a target. In the bars, watch ur glass, or you might get drugged and ur aforementioned cash stolen.

Don't rent a car because u will not understand Russian driving

Russian women do want to have sex with Americans...for money.

Don't expect anyone to speak English to u, they will not.

Don't expect people to be polite, even wait staff. This isn't the US. And if they are rude DO NOT get confrontational. They probably aren't being rude intentionally, firstly. And you will die, secondly.

You can't understand Russian cold. If ur going in winter, prepare for the moisture on ur eyes to freeze.

And lastly (my favorite) to blend in, don't talk to people, and carry a plastic bag filled with crap.

Great deal. Mileage-run? If you know how to tailor courses to suit your learning style, I find Assimil Russian pretty good. I'm half-way through the book and it's definitely different than other courses. Lots of colloquial stuff. Never been to Russia but I've heard that Moscow is insanely expensive.

i'm iffy on this one. i love driving in other countries, and i can't imagine anything being more frenetic in pace and dangerous in navigation than saigon or thailand, but i'm heavily considering playing it safe for once and just utilizing the train system.
