It's no secret that there are pretty much only two kinds of people who come to Russia to teach -- gap-year kids who have studied Russian language or history or politics, and (usually middle-aged, but not always) guys looking for Russian babes.
The problem with the latter bunch is they've gone from being the insane two-fisted drinking adventurers to cloistered 40-year-old virgin types.
Just today I got a letter from one of our Lonely Hearts Club of applicants for January that he was reconsidering his application because he had heard that (Vodkaberg) is "dangerous for foreigners."
Ooooh! Look at the baby bawl! Bawl, baby! Bawl!
Whatever happened to the good old days when telling an English teacher a place was dangerous was a good way to pique their interest in the place. . . Having your ass kicked is an important part of the real Russian cultural experience!
