Peeva spaseeba, probably the first two words you should know in Russian, beer please (not necessarily in that order mind you). I suppose this sets the tone for what I am about to write. I haven’t put togther a travel note since some of my early visits to Africa but as this was my first trip to the FSU (former Soviet Union) so why not? A couple of us (Robbie and John) flew into Almaty (Kazakhstan) expecting to be greeted by our hotel transport not the local hustler. There must be one in every airport. Without anyone else in site we went with the flow. He said he had a taxi (in broken English). We saw other taxi drivers waving us over but we went with our guy. After he had our bags in the boot he pulled the (temporary) taxi sign off the roof and threw it onto the floor in the front. We looked at each other and shook our heads. We made it to the hotel US$60 lighter. I don’t know what it is about fancy hotels in run down places. I just can’t get my head around it. We were so far out of our comfort zone it wasn’t funny. Give me a bed and breakfast any day. It was so flash that our car was checked for explosives (mirror underneath) on the way in. Maybe they recognised our driver? Chalk one up to our new travel agents… We decided while checking in that we would walk somewhere local for a feed. After grabbing a map from the concierge we went for a stroll. Walking...

I arrived in Moscow with a couple of local guys. We quickly made our way through customs and found our driver and walked around to the car. Gold 4WD Lexus with black non-see through tinting (nice ride) and my first time in Moscow had the mind working over time… KGB? nah. I later found out our driver had been with the company for about 10 years. He had all sorts of “tactical” driver driver training from the days when security was more of issue. We hit it off pretty well when we started talking about cars, motorbikes and snow mobiles (in broken English and my four words of Russian). It seems as though cubic centimeters and km/hour are some sort of international language. He was a rev head at heart. Later this worked to our advantage when we were running late to the airport. The Lexus (and driver) moved like clock work through the traffic. I checked into my hotel downtown on the way to the office (nice). You have to travel everywhere with your passport in Russia as well as have it registered at every hotel you stay at. Customs give you a bit of paper when you enter the country that hotels/police etc are supposed to stamp to keep a record of your movements. On the way out they take it from you. Our Moscow office is about the same size as our Perth office. The people there were great. I caught up on some emails for the first time in a week. I was given a quick guide to Moscow. I planned to take a walk...
