Your judgments obviously demonstrate an unreasonable mixture of
narrow-mindedness and real in-borne rudeness? You mean that these words of
yours must be humbly taken! This is the reason we are rude to such people as
you are because your behavior provokes to kick your lower parts. Be kind to
the kind and rude to the rude.

This British dude seriously needs help.  Sob your way through immigration?
Was if before or after cavity search?  Join a local Russian singing group?
In a country that gave the world Zeppelin and Stones?   Is it the crappy
weather or warm beer that got to you back home?

 

Seriously, who can miss 24/7 traffic jams and the rudest people on earth?

Hi

For what it's worth, when I moved to Moscow in 1998, I couldn't wait to get
on the next plane home for the first month, and then something magical
happened. I fell in love with the Russian people and with Moscow of course.

We had to leave in July 1999 as a result of the financial crisis, and I
sobbed my way through immigration - even the desk clerk was almost moved to
tears - and all the way back to the UK. I was well and truly hooked.

So determined were we to return that when the first opportunity arose to do
so in September 2001, we did - to a city 1000km to the east of Moscow - even
that was good enough - after all, it was Russia!

We then returned to Moscow in 2003 and lived there till 2007. I miss it
badly. Just to give you an idea of how much, I'm going to a seminar by
Edward Lucas, the archetypal anti-Russian, today, in the hope of heckling
him. I'm also thinking of joining a Russian singing group in our local town.
See - that's how much it gets to you.

I will be back one day.

Martine

Well, Christine, 

 

what is the other city in Europe? Otherwise, it's very difficult to
compare...

Hi Expats-

I have been offered 2 jobs and am currently trying to decide between them!
One is in Moscow and the other is elsewhere!  They both pay about the same
and include the same types of benefits (free apartment, discount on language
lessons...etc) as they are actually with the same company!  The only
difference is the location...Moscow or another city in Europe.  
I don't know much about Moscow today...(I have a limited historical
perspective from history class a million years ago)!  Can anyone provide me
any insights to help me decide?  and possibly give me a comparison on safety
to some other major cities in the world?  I have heard it is kind of like
New York or Chicago - there is crime, but if you use the normal precautions
(ie don't visit bad neighborhoods at night alone) you should be ok?

Thanks!

Christine
