Today is Women's day, and you know what that means - that's right, tons of women drunk on love...and alcohol, mostly alcohol. Make no mistake, this is a big deal here. Yesterday the stores were packed with men frantically looking for some token to show their special lady just how much she means to him.
Needless to say, the chocolate isle at the store was completely barren. This poor fellow's left with the mere scraps of the metaphorical, chocolate carcass... already picked clean. Moscow's a wild city folks.
I did a little research to understand just how passionate Russians are about women, and it turns out that on the whole, women in Russia are worth about 7 billion dollars in gifts today. That number is likely to go down significantly tomorrow, but today Russian women are king...or rather, queen.
Here's a little something for all the women out there. Happy March 8th!
