...do as the Muscovites do.
1. Never smile
2. Always wear a fur coat or hat, especially if it resembles Cruella deVille
3. Have no concept of personal space
4. Be prepared to body-check someone at all times; this goes for everyone, including small old ladies at the coat check, they will do the same to you and with more force
5. Do not know how to drive a car - it's even better if you're on a phone and iPad, while trying to run over pedestrians in a cross walk
6. Do not know how to walk straight ahead or at a consistent pace, preferably move on an unpredictable diagonal
7. Show extreme PDA on the escalators in the Metro
8. Never try to be eco-savvy and not bag your produce - you will be stopped at the register and sent back to have your produce weighed and priced in that department - and you should know that, whether or not there is anyone at the scale
9. Don't try to wash AND dry your hands in a public restroom if there is a line; you'll be lucky enough to be allowed to the sink
10. When in doubt, wear stilettos
Love it! But does not sound all that diff from the States! Maybe the fur coat and hats....
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such an abundance of fur coats and hats. i've never wanted one in the States, but somehow it looks so glamorous here. Also, the personal space/sense of space thing is 10x worse than in the States, its insane!
