So... what is there to do in Russia?

squarejawhero · 10-10-2005, 11:49 PM

It looks like a distinct possibility that I could end up tripping over to Russia to throw snowballs at people in Moscow whilst giggling like a schoolgirl and re-enact the German defeat at old Leningrad using chocolate peanuts, now known as St Petersberg. Not the peanuts, the place.

So... what should I be doing when I get there? Any museums or galleries people recommend? Places to eat, drink and be merry? Any particular Vodka I should be trying, any places to avoid, food to eat, food to leave untouched... places I simply have to go to? Of course, I've got my own reasons to go there... but I want to hear more! MORE! BWAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAA *coff* haargh...

... and yes, THIS time, my friends, I will not lose my passport! Because it's right here!

...

...

... phew, here it is.

Firstly:

Secondly, Go to the Kunstkammer (Chamber of Curiosities). If you want to be grossed out.

Stalker is one of the most boring films i´ve ever seen.

Mastepiece, my ass.

Crunchy in milk · 10-11-2005, 12:45 AM

Its a comic, what's important though is the title. Maybe this is a little more clear

SakSquash · 10-11-2005, 01:14 AM

You can play with puppies and buy meat from the old women who sell it out of strollers.

squarejawhero · 10-11-2005, 01:26 AM

Lord help me. I'm surrounded by jocks.

@temps - seriously, you're tasteless.

x2

SERIOUSLY... you guys wouldn't believe me if I told you I've always wanted to visit St Petersberg now, would you?

the above

What is there to do in Russia? C'MON! I'm being serious!

samIamsad · 10-11-2005, 01:28 AM

I've never been there... Isn't it a bit, you know, cold this time of the year? Hey, wait! You've got plans, don't ya?

insane_cobra · 10-11-2005, 01:33 AM

Crunchy, you crack me up lil' buddy.

squarejawhero · 10-11-2005, 01:34 AM

The floodgates are open.

D'OH!

Aint No Stoppin' Us No-ow, we're on the loose!

You guys are loving this.

Lucien21 · 10-11-2005, 01:40 AM

Mira,

Make a run for it or take out a restraining order.

HURRY.

Sjh, This is never going to look like and innocent tourist trip

squarejawhero · 10-11-2005, 01:43 AM

Is this your knife?

LOL... it was a bit far fetched to think I was going to get any genuine responses.

I haven't laughed so much since the last time I did.

Seriously, I've got a holiday due. Either there or Japan... both have excellent reasons to go to!

So am I. I only alluded to "Who to do" in Russia, but you should check out the Museum of Curiosities before political correctness sees it shut down. They don't let you take photos so its go to see it or miss it forever.

Also you have to check out some of the Metro stations, they have to be seen to be believed.

squarejawhero · 10-11-2005, 01:48 AM

Yowzer. Makes the ones in Paris look normal and the ones in London look like toilet rolls.

So, essentially you're recommending looking at freaks and loitering in tube stations?

Any good latrines there?

LMAO! I should buy that for my cousin, but he's already found one.

Birthday Girl (2001)

Internet love connections and mail-order brides rarely ever work out, and John (played by Ben Bowen) should have known. Having never been lucky in the game of love and tired of waiting for the perfect woman to come along, John decides to take his chances and orders a mail-order bride from Russia online. At first, things seem perfect: his new bride Nadia (Nicole Kidman/Mira) is a gorgeous woman, and although she may not speak much English, her skills in the bedroom more than make up for any communication problems. When Nadia's 'cousins' unexpectedly arrive to celebrate her birthday, John is drawn into their web of corruption and crime.

squarejawhero · 10-11-2005, 02:12 AM

That was a crap movie. It was on telly last week...

HEY! Hold on dude, that's not cool.

I'd be careful if I were you. As seen in this thread. Anyhoo, in that film, they get together in the end... after killing a load of people... (i.e. Lucien of Edinburgh)

samIamsad · 10-11-2005, 02:18 AM

Sounds like Natural Born Killers - Mission To Moscow to me.

saucyminx · 10-11-2005, 02:24 AM

Omigod... I woke up late this morning and *this* is what I get for walking in blindly?

Erm...

Should I ignore you guys?
