My exact conversation was:: Q:I would like to know what to do if a Chinese person want to drive a car in Russia. A: Well he can't, because we have.... (he stopped his answer there) Q: so NO foreigner can drive a car in Russia? A: Yes, that's right. - ok, thank you. bye bye. -- bye bye. I'm still waiting for my international driving permit... China doesn't recognise idps. Therefore it must be bought via the internet. Chinese people, however, who want to enter Russia by car can do it by having their driving license translated into Russian by an official government owned translating service. Several Chinese people have done this... Let's see how far I will come [/list]
