I thought traffic was bad back home. The term traffic jam, now brings on a whole new meaning. Brad and Mel, you remember the traffic back in Moscow, well Vald's is as bad if not worse. Cars, trucks and buses spread like "jam" everywhere. With no lanes, no rules, no decient road to drive on and the fiery Russian temperament anything is possible. Yesterday while in one such jam, drivers sick of waiting, just turned their cars off and walked home. That's right cars were just parked in the middle of the road vacant. This of course made the delays even worse. For one hour we didn't budge. Not a centimeter!
This is probably the biggest traffic jam of right handed cars going on the right lane.The majority of used cars are the imported Japan cars with right placement of the steering wheel, even authorities and police use these cars, but the roads are like in all rest of Russia are right sided so it’s just a mess.

WOW, that is one hell of a traffic jam. I feel sorry for you having to be in it. how on earth did you cope Nico, i can imagine you would have been a little impatient. Is there any road rage in these sorts of circumstances?
Hello, dear friends! Haven't seen you for ages!!! Last Saturday Oleg bought a new car - Mazda Tribute. So I'm happy not to go to work by foot :) How are you? Nick, how's your Russian?
Kate, don't worry you'll get your taste soon enough. My behaviour has been exemplary, thank you.
Olya and Oleg,
Good to see you are still sticking with the Mazdas. We should all catch up soon.
My Russian is progressing and I'd like you to let me know how far, next time we meet up.
Nic
