F*** Moscow


Moscow, you shock us again and again.

3 small amounts of fruits.. almost 100 Dollar in a Restaurant

700g Melon- 30 $
3x Peaches- 20 $
200 g Cherries- 50 $

And this basically in a 3rd world land.
This his is just possible in the the city of show offs and squander
P.S. I bought 300 g cherries a month later in Germany, 1.70 Euro (approx. 60 rbls)

About this blog

This blog is a close up on Russia and the CIS. I am not giving you the big picture.
I would anyway fail. I am too long here. So beauty & decay,
education & corruption, high culture & kafka-style administration are meanwhile normal for me.
So this blog is like a painting from from Roy Lichtenstein... when you are with your nose on it :) You will just see the dots, not gaining any understanding of the whole.

Most things will look strange in this blog. But you can be sure, I would not live here, if there would not be a lot of great things here. Unfortunately, the weired stories are more interesting to tell & read.
Don’t judge Russia on this blog, if you want to know the country, come over and take a look by your own.
