I'm on a 2 week break in moscow at the moment-so no suntan for me,but plenty of decent cars.
I should be a range rover dealer i think.
I was with Russian friends looking around near the kremlin today,when we were all stopped by the police.Today was the 1st time that i had any documents on me which i showed when stopped.
Then there was a problem with mine and the other westerns who were stopped nearby.
After 20mins of discussions a fee of 500 roubles-just over a 100pound was agreed to stop a trip to the police station and to solve the problem!!
My russian friends had only just finished telling me that most police dont take bribes anymore.
It does not take many stops to make your wages pretty good.
So no more documents with me just tell them that i've left them behind.
Apart from this i'm having a good time apart from how expensive everything is

DON'T GO OUT WITHOUT DOCUMENTS!

That is a real offence for which they will chuck you in the cells (as opposed to a made-up one for which they will extract a bribe).
