Moscow, day 2...

Got out to the electronics market near the Bagrationovskaya metro. Cordless "bilingual" keyboards are about $100, so I passed. Although I do touch-type in Russian, it's still nice to have a labeled keyboard available from time to time, but $100 is beyond my horizon right now.

Afterward, Alla and I retraced our steps to the Perovo metro and on, out to the Novogireevo station, where we picked up a route taxi to go visit Alla's daughter Olga out in the suburbs (officially, as she lives across the street from the Moscow boundary). We had a late lunch at a place called Sushi-Sushi, which just hit the spot (even if the beer they serve is Belgian white).

Tomorrow's flight departs in the early afternoon. My next post will probably be from the States.

Cheers...

Thanks for the tip, but past experience has shown that I hammer my keyboard in a manner that will shred pretty much most stickers. Still, it's a thought.

Cheers...

If I may suggest, you can get those stickers for MUCH less on eBay. About a year ago I bought 6 sets for about US$5... in 4 different colours, too :)

Bagrationovskaya + My next post will probably be from the States. = I'm glad that your next post will be from a place that I can actually pronounce! : P

Enjoy the flight! And those little pretzels that they've got to give you - complain if they don't; demand the pretzels on the count that it's your birthday weekend! : )

I will do my best. (I have upgraded myself to business class, so I hope I get more than pretzels!)

Cheers...
