Hi MonkeyCatcher! How many monkeys do you catch on a sunny day? :) Hope you will like it here.

BTW, Crystal is the name of a factory which is known for doing very good vodkas.

Oh... We have been planning for years to go there... But failed to, so far... Really, I think French gardens too regular. I like the more "naturized" types - so I prefer English & Oriental gardens. Oh. I always thought Churchill to be an ideal politician - he had courage, he was honest, he...

Do you need one?

OK, now it's your turn.

Of course. And the small garden with a brook in Windsor was almost as wonderful as all the precious things stored in the castle... (I was even shown a bullet there which had killed admiral Nelson... How much you English must love him to place that thing near crowns of kings...) Maybe - as too...

Just sent you about 5MBs of photos not of Moscow, but of cities of Sergiev Posad, Pereeslavl' Zalessky and Suzdal. Some from our dacha too.

Well, I imagine that could be interesting - to walk throw countryside, to meet people, to see places... And to have other people pay you for it could not be too bad either... You know, we have a BASEr in our office - he deals with INWIN and CHIEFTEC PC cases and ALTEC LANCING PC speakers. He is...

Oh, I thought that wasn't clear enough... I believe tourists are allowed to visit the Bickingham Palace only after the Queen has moved to Windsor or any other place for summer, and we had to leave one or two days before that. So we have seen insides of Windsor, and have not seen these of BP.

And they wouldn't let me see it - the Queen had stayed there at the time... Ha. We have people walking or bycicling from one frontier of Russia to another too. Of course it takes months or years, and sometimes lives. Maybe. But that should be an honest control, otherwise it would be just...

Hi Ashy: Never mind, that is frequently the case with me too. OK, I would have liked it. I can send you some photos of our local Moscow nature. (Of course I am not a pro too :) )

No, I do not like it much. I prefer Georgian (Georgian Georgian, not American Georgian) semi-sweet wines.

Err... I couldn't get closer to it then "grope"... Yep, I believe every family living in Moscow has at least one dacha, sometimes up to three - four. In the sixties the government gave to ministries large pieces of land, to be given to employes in order people could have 600 square metres of...

Wow, thanks. It seems you know all the useful places in the net... As to our mat... I've seen guys who could speak for minutes, not using other words but mat...

Thanks a lot. BTW, I had been to Windsor last year and liked it much. OK - I will surely try to remember. Such aspects are easily mixed by the foreigners, and your example with Kiev shows incongruity of such mistakes. Err... It was another try at pulling legs on my part, when I wanted to get...

And I hadn't even tried - it was obviously meant for the native English-speakers, and I am surely not one. And - I really do not like quizes much.

Why do you ask? You mean our Moscow State University? No, I hadn't too high a forehead for it then... I graduated from Moscow Civil Enineering Institute, on Civil and Industrial Building... It's called the Moscow Engineering University or something like that now. Everything seems to be from...

Thanks Beth! I hope that David here doesn't object to your taking part here, and I surely do not. (By the way, I've just checked your "sticking my neb in", and failed to find it in my Webster Handy College I have in my office. The nearest to it there is "nebbish", so I imagine "neb" means...

OK. But it's too bad I still cannot fully understand your humor - I would have wanted to. OK, thanks - I think when I am in London next time, I will spend more time just walking here and there, not taking any excursions. But maybe I should go to Kue Gardens (or something like that), somehow I...

Nope... I have my personal mountaine bycicle for driving really, it's my wife who does all the hard work... And she wanted an all-road Audi until recently. I am in Moscow, but with the rain ouside my window it could well be Ho Shi Minh or Male... Really, I do not like nor drink Vodka too...
