[Three hours later the cleaners delivered my clothes to my flat.]
This is true. I had let my good contacts lapse by 2005, however. If I remember the name of the African American "friend" who set me up on this...I'll let you know. I still can't believe it was an American who set me up like that.
Another American creep owned the Anglo-American English School. He had about 10 Americans working for him at salaries of $1800 per month...but he was slow in paying them. The day before he died, he got a $2000 payment from clients and had to pay two teachers who needed to pay their rent. He owed them both $1800, but he gave them each about $400...because he needed $1200 to pay for his prostitute habit. That night he bought two whores from The Hungry Duck and they drugged him in his apartment. When he woke up as their boyfriends were carrying out his furniture, they banged him over the head with a pipe and killed him.
This happened last summer.
But still, Russia has the most fantastic people. I adore that country. The Russian Orthodox women are true Christians, not the feminist kind that say things like "whatever" regarding the need to preserve a basic human right (to say hello to someone) while sporting a profile that says they are a "Christian" who loves "liberty".
Bad men often get what they deserve.
When I was part of the community that helped facilitate these marriages, one of the services we provided was to investigate a woman that a man was interested in. After all, it cost a fair amount of money to travel to and live in a CIS country.
Men with ill intentions were publicly humiliated and run off by every group I've been associated with. For the really bad actors, Vitaly would, for a small fee, uhhh, punish them.
When I traveled there I needed a full-time driver and interpreter. The driver was an Armenian who had fought in a war. He is the only guy I've met who could open a corked wine bottle with his bare hands. My interpreter was a gorgeous blond married to a black man. Her knowledge of American history was impressive. Even the simple looking women had a charm that transcended their looks.
You are correct about Russians being some of the finest people one could have the honor of knowing. I came to have a strong affinity for them, and continue to. Sighhh. I'm getting all nostalgic now.
Eastern Europe is definitely a man's world.
(Which is better, Russian borsh or Ukrainian?)
"Whatever" is a coward's way of saying "f*** off".
