I've arrived
I'm in Moscow, writing from an internet cafe. Since I'm on the clock,
that's all I'll say for the moment.

The economics of everyday life in Moscow from a resident foreigner.
I'm in Moscow, writing from an internet cafe. Since I'm on the clock,
that's all I'll say for the moment.
I'm heading to the airport. If you don't hear from me for a while,
don't worry, it may take a couple of days to sort out internet access.
I just have to comment on how great a resource craigslist (www.craigslist.com or for Seattle direct http://seattle.craigslist.org/) is. I don't know how we got along before the advent of the internet. I remember getting things done and finding information through newspapers and bulletin boards in various places, but nothing beats craigslist! I recently sold my guitar amp and drums on it and last year I found my room-mate on it (someone who had spent the previous year in Moscow at the same university I'm attending). Friday I posted some free furniture, within 10 seconds of the post hitting, a guy called wanting everything, and was ready to come pick it up immediately.
