When in Moscow last year my wife wanted to get out and see some local flavor(what do you think we were there for - casino chips?) So she tried to drag me to a Russian dance troupe show at one of the old historic opera buildings. Cost $15 a head and I got a headache listening to them stomp around the stage for 45 minutes. Intermission time comes and they open up these two huge doors and tell us to enjoy the snacks. The "snacks" consisted of numerous types of caviar appetizers and glasses of local champagne and shots of vodka. Needless to say I had about 5 glasses of champagne, several shots of vodka and two plates of caviar. For some reason the next 45 minutes of stomping didn't seem so bad.
