In Reply to: This has been going around, I see. posted by Dmitry on January 11, 2002 at 08:48:34:
So our American buddies didn't like it... Loved those references to "idiotic house on chicken legs" - I suppose some reading would not hurt.Did you see it? Steve says he lived it, but he' been is such strange guy lately, I really don't know... have you seen his recent posts outside? I can't even say what about. A shocker... a true shocker...
BTW - I don't know if I have ever been to Burger King (OK, OK, so call me un-American, sue me...) - do they really wear those "kokoshniks" there?
I think every film with Churikova is a must see.
So OK, you carefully avoided the direct answer to direct question - but I am sure gnat is eager to find out whether you are going.
After all - what's that $500 ticket when you can stay at a $330/night hotel? Perhaps we could even hit that night at Boch'ka restaurant when they roast the whole bull. The pickled white mushrooms there are to die for.
Follow Ups:
I'm sorry to say but I've never been to Burger King.:((
McDonalds - yes, I sometimes go into one in Greenwich Village to pee. No public restrooms in America, it seems. I've been in a McD in Paris, Metro Defence, they had beer!!!
I'd love to go to Moscow again, but in February??? Oy vey. Might be too cold for me. Are you going?
I'm itching to go to Brazil in April, but the new question is how to bring it upon you know who.
Bochka sounds like my kind of decadence. Do they have drunken merchants oggling gypsy girls?
***I'd love to go to Moscow again, but in February??? Oy vey. Might be too cold for me. Are you going?Got my tickets today. Actually - it is early march... sort of. All you need to do is bring a warm jacket, no big deal. Unless you are planning to be standing for hours on Tverskoy looking for something.
Usually it is not that cold. Last time it was close to zero most of the time.
***I'm itching to go to Brazil in April, but the new question is how to bring it upon you know who.Between Russia and Brazil I would go to Russia. Tell your know who there are some bad teeth in Kremlin you need to attend to. Noone would doubt THAT.
***Bochka sounds like my kind of decadence. Do they have drunken merchants oggling gypsy girls?
You need to get off those Tolstoy and Kuprin - the gipsies are mostly gone, except for the train station theives. Bochka is pretty orderly and food is (was... last time I was there) great. But cellphones though are pain in the ass - all idiots who can afford them feel obligated to use them 24 hours a day.
You see, you've been to Brazil already. I have not. You disliked it, I probably will not:)) It'll be impossible to go to Moscow at this time for personal reasons[Kobzon's daugther still has a tooth to grind:))]
How much were the tickets, anyway? You're staying in a hotel?
Tickets... depends, as I am not flying a simple route. Just from NY to Moscow - probably arond $500.I am getting smarter now with accomodations. I used to stay at hotels only, and good ones are around $300 per night. Those at $150 are Soviet-era pigsties. Now you can rent an apartment for from $50 to $100 per day in the center. For three nights in Moscow I am in Mariott - our baby Clinton stayed there once - all ladies in the bar still talk about him.
Godspeed, all I can tell you. Like I said, I'd love to go. How about next time, will you lug me along? I promise to behave [within certain limits].
God willing there will always be next year. So it sounds like just me and gnat, and his lovely wife, them poring the cold Okhotnich'ia down my throat.Now, how did this whole thread start? Morozko? Have you finished the German's film yet?
