Art Chaikhona, Moscow, Russia


Moscow Fire Department Porsche Cayenne. If Taxi drivers can have not one, but two (see below), then so can Fire fighters. They do need to be at the scene fairly quickly.


Art Chaikhona (Art Teahouse), a very nice Uzbek/Kazakh/Central Asian restaurant. Authentic. Reservation usually required. Passing forward the recommendation that I received from Oleg. Glad.


Oleg Yusupov, Software Channel Sales person at IBM in Moscow. Born and raised in Almaty in Kazakhstan, studied aerospace engineering in Kharkiv University in Ukraine. Name Oleg - possible Scandinavian origin, prince of Kiev (Oleg of Novgorod?), Russian adoption. Worked for Nuclear Research Institute, StarForce and Informatica before recently joining IBM. On daily Metro commutes he reads RBC on his HTC TyTN and when the peak of his Moscow enterprise career will be behind him, he might end up somewhere in Kazakhstan, enjoying the beauty and vastness of his home country. I might stop by for a short visit.


Manti. Giant pelemeni = dumplings. They also serve horse meat dishes, which is pretty common in places where horses are a-plenty, such as Central Asia. And Slovenia :)


Fancy a pair of Porsche Cayennes for your next Taxi ride? I guess it can happen only in Moscow :)
