HADI HAS A TWIN IN MOSCOW!

This guy looked so much like Hadi at the Leaning Tower of Pizza. He was the general manager at this Italian restaurant in Moscow. We had a lovely chat and I asked to take his picture, since he looked like Hadi, and then he proceeded to give us a tour of the new building. This gorgeous new modern office complex houses some investment bankers, law firms and various other wealthy companies. Downstairs, you will find a private cafe, a World Class fitness center, some shops and a VIP movie theatre with the most overpriced tickets I've ever heard about. Thirty dollars a ticket to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the same movie that is showing at other theatres around town for $10!! I suppose if you put VIP in front of it, and charge 3 times the regular value, you'll get the show off crowd to come.

That sparked an idea I had about my Bay Area bilingual tours. Someone else had suggested if I put VIP in front of it, I'll get my clientele. Now, I just have to get my VIP brochures and programs together and start cycling them through the casino and nightclub crowds and investment banking/law firms/automobile and oil company crowds. I'm not sure our casinos will be as entertaining to them. After all, I remember Cherry Casino and Metelitsa well - check your weapons at the door, hundreds of tall, leggy sexy Russian women, exotic drinks. I'll have to do a bit of market research.
