I only get a little time each day to write blogs posts and this site usually comes in bottom of the list. I hope my posts for <a href="http://www.multilingual-search.com" rel="nofollow">Multilingual Search</a> are a little more coherent! This post was particularly bad on that front :) Thanks for commenting though and I hope your trip back to Moscow goes to plan. Hi Peter,

I'm sure the average Moscovite knows how to get by spending far less. Doesn't help me of course, I get stung for every purchase I make there! Things are getting more expensive here though, noticeably. The oil/gas/metals money seems to be making a difference - even the road repairs this summer have been spot on where we are (professionally done, unlike the 2 month patch-job we have most years!)
