Wow: sound interesting. This joint may be similar to what they have in Tokyo I guess. Conversation lounge. Where Japanese comes to meet foreigners to have few drink and natural way to practice and exchange language, views ,ideas of different countries. Been to few and meet many nice people ,local and Gaijin. I would very much like to know about this place in Moscow and other part of Russia. Planning to travel around Russia and Mongolia on backpack next month.
I would be delighted to know you as well. Please do reach me

Hi everyone,

What an acctual theme for me:) I'm in Moscow until 3 may, would like to explore Moscows live music bars, salsa places, clubs etc or just go out somewhere after working day. In other cities it's ok to go out for a girl alone, though in Moscow i felt a bit confusing walking along Novij Arbat alone:) so if someone is also seeking for company to go out - please write me ula.ambrasaite[at]gmail.com.

Or maybe there're already any alone-in-city gathering places? Would be nice to hear:)

Hi! I would be glad to do excursions of any kind and show Moscow. I can do it in English and German.

Hey guys!! Must admit was so nice to read all the feedbacks about Russia and on how to make friends here. I agree with lots of you who said that people can seem really unfriendly here. Even I being a Russian started noticing it after living in the UK. But a good thing is that what you see on the surface is not always what it is in reality. I can understand what americans and europeans fell on seing these unexpressive faces. But yeh it's part of a culture but it doesnt mean those people are not nice. It takes time to get to know a person. Just be yourself and be positive about things.  As for me I live in Moscow and love meeting people from all over the world. So please feel free to contact me on zalina.kazieva7@gmail.com

cheers,

Moscow is like any other metropoly,no special rules apply for Moscow,its a lovely place,friendly and fun loving people.You got to be little extrovert,confident and a little initiative will do the trick. Try this and you won't have dearth of friends,
Cheers!

Hi Ruslan Sarakaev,

Can you please write in English so as all the members get to understand on the English Forum :) ?

Thank you for your understanding

It's a name of the site, where many people communicate with each other.
But Ruslan made a little mistake, it would be correct to write "odnoklassniki" , or you can also visit the most popular russian site for communication - "vk".

Hi my name is Helen and Welcome to Moscow)

Hi all!

I just quit my job and plan to take some time off so if anyone is interested in meeting up or finding a new friend, I am up for it!

I'm a Russian (although I look more like Korean) but I've been studying English for my whole life so if you speak either English of Russian, we'll be fine. Moscow is my city so I might show you around Moscow's center if you'd like (free of charge of course).


So you see, sometimes you don't have to look for friends. Sometimes friends start looking for you haha :)

HelenLeah

Oh why did you quit your job? And what do you do?

middleofnowhere

Hi HelenLeah!

It is a great American company and I was in supply chain / customer service. But I wouldn't discuss my reasons at a public board :) Never know when a message like that is gonna fly back in your face :)

So if you or anyone else reading this is interested in some Moscow sight-seeing or something, PM me and we can hook up on vk/facebook/anything else to figure out next steps!

Cheers!

i love making friends

"Surprise your friends by not having any friends". :)
This is the problem. You make lots of friends and then you don't even know who your real friend is.
