Ok so let the story time begin. Gather around a camp fire and smoke a good cigar as this was an interesting experience in European/Russian culture.
So we was to met at 8pm at this train station in bum freak Egypt. We let the University at 6:45pm and 2 different train lines later we arrive at out destination at 7:53pm. Needless to say, the cell phone service in this station was blocked off so no one could talk on their Mobile phones. So we have no idea where the other 5 people are at. We went outside the station and went to this mall not to far from the Metro Station.
All seems to be well as one of the girls from the Netherlands was in the area. Ok, this should go fine right? Well, not in Mr Peats world. It all goes astray like a Scud Missle. :laugh: We finally found the one girl that has a car in the parking lot. Now this is where it gets fun. So we get in the car as she was going to take us to the Restaurant we are going to eat at. Well, she had a 4 month old Beagle Dog with her. The dog is also female so it was so happy to see new people we felt violated by a Russian Dog. :laugh: But the owner is pretty hot so we tolerate it. Well, the other couple that was coming hadn't made it just yet so she took several of us to the Restaurant which was like a 10 min drive so a pretty good distance. So me and Julian was standing out side the place cuz it turns out they are full so we can not eat there.
So while this lady is ferrying everyone to one location, it goes south real fast. We told her that they said we can't eat there so she goes in. Finds out the same story so she comes up with another place to eat. So she takes a few with her and didn't tell anyone where she was going. So I'm standing with the Korean guy named Julian, this German guy named Marco and his girlfriend thats Russian but she speaks German and works for a big company. Now its past 9pm and approaching 10pm. We put out our hands and people will stop to pick you up for a fee. So this girl negotiated a price for us and we all get in. This guy takes us down a good distance and we get out at what she was told to get out at. Turns out it wasn't the correct place and we had to track down another Taxi to get us there.
Finally, we are in front of the place and go in. Its a Eastern European Restaurant and very good. For the 8 of us, it cost like 6800 Roubles aka like $375 US for dinner. But the food and company was great. I was asked by one of the Russian girls what I think of Russia since I'm American. I told her I liked the place and its an interesting culture. I had explained all the countries I've seen but nothing like this. Its just so crazy here with 12 million people in the city and I'm not used to cities like this. So its interesting as I said to her.
Well Marco and his girlfriend had to go as its like 1 1/2 hour train ride back to Northern Moscow where they live. We decided to goto a Discotek Club. Sasha, who is from Bulgaria, negotiated the price of the Taxi and off we go in 2 different cars. Well, the driver of our car forgot where to go so they had to talk on the phone a few times. At one point in the trip, we had to stop and get Petro which was a fun experience. The place we was at, you put in the pump # and then give this machine money. Alas, you can pump the amount in Petro. Crazy but funny as the machine had no person to receive the money. So finally after many phone calls, we get to where we need to be which is in the vicinity of the Red Square area. There was this side street we walked down to a place called КАРМА БАР aka Karma Bar. It cost 300 Roubles to get in so like $15 US.
You get checked by a guy for any weapons and what not. Then you walk down between some building so you can check your coats as its a Discotek. After that, we walk back and entered the club. You could hear the music up the street so it was pretty loud in the club. We finally got a table next to the dance floor and like this platform thing that dancers would dance and sorta like pump up the other people. Its something I had ever seen before. The dancers was all female but one. Two of them was fiery red heads and several dishwater blondes. Something I will never forget. I'm hoping Eric will send us the pictures he took of us there at the Club. I wished I would have taken my camera so that I could get a picture of our two waitresses. The dishwater blonde was named Sasha and she let her best assets out. The other had a short name which started with a A but I couldn't make it out. She had like black hair but nice looking.
Of course they looked nice. They would dance in the area we was at which made for some nice views. Plus, the two girls that was with us was dancing near us which made for some nice views. And all the other Russian girls dancing. Wow...so we was surround by a sea of beauties. Only one guy danced on the platform. It was crazy cuz he had took an American flag and made it into like a dress to cover up the thong he had on. Which was a good thing but he really got everyone to walk him dance for like 10 minutes. Everyone just turned and watched him as he could actually dance. Then the other girls would take turns up on the platform. I think they was up there for like 10 mins at a time before they would change out. Lets just say the Russian girls that danced up there can stretch. :thumbs:
Finally we leave the clud at like 3:30am and get back to the University at 4am. Sasha once again negotiated the price for the taxi and we was on our way back home.
So overall, it was a great experience into the Russian night club scene. Expensive as I started with 4000 Roubles aka like $200 US and ended up having 1500 Roubles left aka like $75. But it was worth the experience of a lifetime like last night. I haven't decided if I want to smoke an Anejo today or a Opus. :laugh:
