Me -> Russia

Probably should be in the travel section but no-one ever reads that so it's in here instead.

Just to say that I'm off to Russia in the morning for four months of being embarassed about how little Russian I know. So the next time I come on here, it will be from the land of the potato, vodka and Ladas.

Be cool my comrades.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    I can sum it up in a few pictures:
    Firstly, this is self explanatory.
    Second, The Worlds Largest Plane. And it's still more manouverable than American cargo planes which are far smaller.
    Third, the Ekranoplan. 'nuff said.
    Fourth, MiG-25 . Stupidly simple, extremley effective.

    There is more, but these sum up the Russian Approach to things. I love them, they're crazy. The lot of them. Just look at the Ekranoplan... and come on, who lives in some cold inhospitable place like that, then still manages to have a huge empire? Their appraoch, and why I love them, is best summed up with this.
    So, the US develop a space program. Then they find out pens don't work in space, so they cannot write. This leads to a multi-million dollar program to develop a pen, that writes in space! Genius!
    The Russians used pencils.

    Have fun mate. wish i had time to see some of the sites when i went to St.Petersburg (do my works software house). Lovely place, would love to go back for a holiday.
    Just watch out for the hookers at the hotels. they work in pairs and surround any guy on his own in seconds. We all ended up walking around in groups of 2-3 or more so we wouldn't be bothered.

    Hello my pretties.

    Here I am in Krasnodar some 100k from the Black Sea.
    The women here are unbelievable. I shall send clandestine photo evidence a la Cook report when I can. The arts faculty is especially good. Based on my observations, the male to female ratio seems to be about 1:10.

    Ladas are very cheap. We rekon we can get a nice one for about 100 dollars. We're also investing 20 quid in a Mega Drive for our dorm room.

    Just a quick reply really for those people who actually care about me just to say that I'm ok and the diet of potatoes and vodka hasn't killed me yet. And Gerbil, Stolichnaya = :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: The best ones to get are Rusky Standart (Russian Standard) and Flagman which you can get in England but not everywhere. Plus the export Stoli is a lot nicer than the domestic stuff.

    Be cool my comrades. Russia is a phenomenally beautiful country and I'm having a cracking time. Internet access is sporadic so don't expect complex debates from me any time soon. Hope you are all well. I am.

    Much love,

    Joe

    ДОбрый день Comrade Joe! Как поживаешь?!

    All sounds good mate, glad to hear you're enjoying yourself out there! Wrapped up in about 5 layers are you?

    Bring us back a bottle of Rusky Standart if you can :p

    Plus if you can smuggle a Kalashnikov, I think Gerbil would be forever grateful...

    Всего наилучшего!

    (I'd like to thank google for that help...)
