Hi

I have recently come back from Russia on a two week tour. I'm not sure if its not just me but evertime we went into a bar, restaurant , coffee shop and even Mcdonalds the majority of people in the establishments were mainly russian women in their mid to late 20s. What I also found strange is so many of them will sit at a table on their own. Is there some sort of gender imbalance going on in Russia at the moment?

Not sure if this is just a myth but I was told in Russia that a lot of women find guys from America, UK, Australia, New Zealand more interesting than Russians?

Everything is more interested when you do not know it well.
Gender balance, yes
Went to California, Blacks and Hispanics were the ones who had poor jobs than the white.
Ethnic difference? Yes

Mostly likely also be women at 'work'.. especially at 'McDonalds' and tourist nooks. I saw enough of that when I was there.
