moscow part two
Happy New Year to one and all.
Had a most fanastic night. Got so drunk that I was unable to walk the 10 minute journey back to my ever so kind hosts. Just heard about this aspect of my night a moment ago. What a sap! We got a taxi.
It was wonderful to see the Moscovites celebrate the coming of 2006. Not unlike the Irish really. Possibly more civilised. Although no one would have paid attention if Bertie Aherne addressed the nation at midnight. In fact, some hooligan would have thrown a beer glass at the TV. The Russians listened respectfully to Putin. Maybe it's deserved, Russia has improved greatly since my last visit. The place itself wasn't overbooked and not crowded with sweaty punters eagerly making their way to the bar for the customary 30 minute wait to get a beer. Everyone was happy.
The venue was a local bar. A whole schedule of things were arranged. Cabaret, latino band, magician, cheeky girl style ensemble. Needless to say I fell in love on 5 occasions. The comperes assistant, the cheeky girl, the girl sitting opposite to me and two girls on the dance floor. I mentioned to Misha that I would readily marry the cheeky girl without even knowing her name. Such was my infatuation. Shame I can't remember a lot of it. We returned to the home at 7.30am.
Anyhow, I wish all my readers a healthy and happy new year.
