Agreed Moscow is expensive. P$P there would also have to be, on average, amongst the most expensive in the world too but the product is, IMHO of course, the best in the world too.
Yep know Rostov. Agree there are heaps of stunners all over the Eastern Bloc who are looking for wealthy or Western Husbands but I aint interested in that career path and the further you get from Moscow or St Petersberg the harder it is to play the P$P game and still come out alive at the end of it.
This trip I am also heading south down into the Caucasus to climb Mt Elbrus so it will interesting to see if there are any little snow bunnies down that way looking for some luving.
