Oh wow, strange to find a post on your blog that doesn't have a comment! Guess what, I am going to Russia next week. You look so funny in that 70's styles!
Priyank,
Thanks! The 70s and 80s blog is not so visited, though it has some incredible pictures...
Have some more recent pics of Moscow on Blogtotter!
I finally made it to your USSR pictures. Red Square is one awesome building. I would love to visit there, but I am a little worried about it.
Ron,
Don't worry, be happy... ;)
It's an incredible place to visit!!
We had an interesting experience once there. They stole the underwear from your suitcase and at the restaurant they gave you this great menu but anything you ordered, they did not have, so then you had to ask, well what do you have and they said Chicken Kiev. So that is what every one ate.plus the vodka lol We felt so sorry for the people at that time. So if we ever packed a suitcase, we packed things for people to steal.They had no where to buy stuff.Of course now its all different.lol
Lady,
We were entitled one bottle of wine per table at the hotel; one day we wanted to buy a second one... no way! But we had caviar at breakfast time... ;)
Now it's different, but some simply don't have the money to buy the stuff is there for sale... !?
Trotter...are you following me or am I following you? Hmmmm.....how very appropriate for Minsk, Leningrad and Moscow. We must start swapping "How I was arrested and where they kept me" stories. But then you always had the Missus to bail you out.
Stuart,
Who's following who? Looks like where is Wally? ;))
