Benefits of living in a first world country..
When my friends/relatives arrive in Moscow, I am always telling them
- "Print the maps! I`ve got a printer shared over the wifi".
Otherwise, they can get to no-GPS and no-mobile-data place and will have to
call me, explaining to me "where they are" (which, sometimes, is not an
easy task ;) to get directions.

Good advice! Wife of my colleague decided to go back to Russia
permanently (from UK) and she actually tried that 3 times (!) from Turkey (our
air gateway to the free western world), every time the plane went back
because of drone attacks.
Finally, she decided to go back to the UK :) Yes, it`s just bad
luck, but this story was not made up.

I am always very excited to see someone with an old bike being in
good condition! The man, not bike ;) Drive safely!
See you,
