Friday afternoons are known for the fact that no one is there... Fortunately some of us work seven days a week and keep this site alive!!! Someone else picks up the dead bodies here...

By the way mediashark, I just took a look at your Russian FAQs: very amusing... They remind of some funny questions I saw from tourists just before the Olympics a few years ago.

However I plan to come back to Moscow in December '06 and stay for a while (at least for a year, and probably longer). I lived in Moscow for a few years during Soviet days, and this is the first time I've been back since 1987. And if you'll pardon the understatement, it's changed since then. I remember GUM being especially different... In fact I'd be interested in hearing what any locals think of the changes?(assuming they're old enough to remember Soviet times)

It's a break from sitting in front of a monitor 40 hours a week. Right now, just thought I'd stop in briefly and take a quick peek. Usually on Fridays I'll head home, pop in a DVD and enjoy a glass of wine - or two . . . or three.
