Coffeecup,

That is a great fact for me to know! Another one of those amazing tidbits of information only a true Russian knows. Makes me want to get back to writing the book again just to be able to find a way to add that fact in somehow.

Maybe I should start a thread about those kinds of facts. What's the an unique fact about Russian life vs. nonRussian life and give the examples of the typewriter, Dacha, and the slippers for guests.

hmmm...
