When do you NOT have a GF in town, Doc? :P

Jake - I will PM you SY's koordinats.

I will be in town on Dec 9 and stay till 14.

ANy last minute news from the scene?? (new clubs, changes on going rates, etc)

I'm finding a slight increase in 'ex-office-workers' in some clubs, concentrating their skills on picking up free drinks, ran into a couple on a sarge night with some friend, they got laid off recently and went out on the town to celebrate? Anyway long story short, digits from them all and took home the last woman standing.

Oh, and I noticed, the % of women telling their g-friends about whats going on. Much less than I've ever experienced in western society, as a result, I can date two girls that are friends yet they won't even tell each other? Cool!

Solnishko,

Interesting... did you get a sense from any of these newly unemployed office workers about how they plan to support themselves? I mean, beyond hustling free drinks.

Anyone up for some club/disco action on Saturday night?

[QUOTE=Jake993]Has anyone actually taken the new(ish) Aero Express train from SVO-2 to Savelovsky Station? How far is the walk from the arrivals area to the train terminus at SVO-2?[QUOTE]I did. It takes about 15 minutes to walk within the airport (under the roof, not in the wet street) from station to terminal. Better take a bit more time because on the way you may come in the mood to take a cup of coffe or something stronger in one of the local coffe-shops. The train itself is comfortable and gies in time.

[QUOTE=Doctor_Skank]Is SVO-3 open yet? DME is becoming more and more a zoo.[/QUOTE]No idea. Never saw anymals in DME, I guess you were extremely lucky ;) Vnukovo is worse in any case, but closer to the city.

Doc,

Not sure, but if the construction project next to SVO-2 is supposed to be the new SVO-3, we could all grow old and die waiting for it to open.

That's assuming, of course, that they still have financing to finish it.

Nope, Terminal 3 isn't open yet, but they've reorganized Terminal 2 so that you hit security check right after check-in. So now it's like every other sane airport in the world, with the exception of the ad hoc homeless shelter in the corridors of the second floor.

[QUOTE=Doctor_Skank]Anyone up for some club/disco action on Saturday night?[/QUOTE] Just arrived in Moscow last night after the "trip from hell" to Turkmenistan last week. Air France one lost bag and Turkish Airlines lost the other. But when I arrived in SVO last night - both bags were sitting there. Amazing. Hey - the Bez was right - the pussy in Turkmen land really is spicy.
Send me a PM and let me know where and when.
Cheers,
Jake

Just saw this - I have been "off the net" in T-stan. Damn they REALLY have to do something about that. They are CRYING for a foreign Internet Service Provider (ISP).
