Living in the Russian Federation – 19/10/2008
Living In The Russian Federation – Mafia, Tetris and Vodka 19/10/2008
So it turns out that I need to travel to Russia. Apparently I’m needed over there for a while to set up a whole load of new IT kit and work with a deluge of new people that will be starting in my company’s fledgling Russian office in Moscow. I don’t speak Russian (yet) and I’ll be literally living there. Apartment, grocery shopping, doing my own washing and of course catching the underground to work each day.
What this means is that I’ll be able to write about the wonderful, different, crazy and extreme things that I see whilst living there. I’ll be searching for Robots, checking out the local food, seeing the sites and being my usual British self so please look forward to some interesting blog updates in the near future.
‘How near?’ I hear you asking… well I fly out in just a few hours and I’ll be getting straight to the day-job as soon as I get there. As soon as I have an established internet connection however, I’ll be posting like a Vodka inspired Tetrimo trying to make a 4-line Tetris.
So my friends, I bid you farewell for now! Please feel free to start up some bets on how fast I get met by the Mafia.

Black bread and wodka. That’s all you need to know.
Also, to be helpful, I spelled vodka phonetically to aid you in your cultural transition.
