Medical in Moscow - Blood test.....empty stomach?

"feised!"

Interesting concept

[CityCat 0]

Russian night clubs have security/bouncers at the front door to control entry, just like here in the U.S., except their personnel have an added task - feis kontrol. (Face control.)

Face control literally controls the faces going in the doors.

Guys look like thugs/hooligans/skinheads? FACED!!! "No. You cannot come in." Guys look broke or like bums. FACED! "Not tonight guys, the club is full." (As people are going in anyway.) Guys look too Caucasian/African/non-Russian? FACED! "Get the f#@k out of here!"

Girls are too ugly/fat to be in there? FACED! "Can't come in tonight." Girls are with too many guys? FACED! "Sorry, club's full."

And so on and so forth.

It kind of sucks on the one hand (I got FACED several times while in Moscow, my buddy and I both had shaved heads and everywhere we went they thought we were skinheads. Only after being "vouched in" by Russians or busting out American Passports and several hundred bucks did we get in.) but it's kind of nice on the other. Going to clubs here and getting trampled by Muffaloes doesn't happen there. There's also no worry about accidentally stepping on someone's shoes and getting shot. So, the end result is you have a bunch of well-dressed guys with money to spend and a bunch of gorgeous women to keep them company and the whole group is more interested in polite conversation, drinking, smoking and dancing than in getting wasted and getting into a fight or going home with whatever is available. (- See aforementioned Muffalo.)

Darling, Moscow is not Russia!!! It's not like this everywhere, especially now. It's far more liberal, in Moscow too, BTW. You can play in a casino dressed in shorts and carrying your cash in a plastic grocery bag.

In clubs in small towns, as always, if you know the people who know the people who kill the people, you get in anywhere.

American face control makes more sense to me. I got in many private parties for free and not being on the list just by looking cute and acting cool.

I've never been to a night club in my life, so it all sounds pretty wild to me.

American face control sucks! "You've got $5, you're in." Of course, Moscow, rest of Russia, U.S., anywhere in the world, hot chicks acting cool are going to get in clubs for free. That's just good business.

I was begging my fiancee while in russia once, to take me to a nightclub - she didnt and her reason..there are too many cute girls looking for guys there..so dont want to throw you to the vulture-fest

and by the way I was told..another reason for not getting into a nightclub in Russia....showing up in sneakers

I was in Moscow with a buddy and we went to the clubs sans fiancee. Needless to say I don't think I'd have too much trouble finding another fiancee in Moscow. Your fiancee's reluctance to take you is a very valid reason.

Sneakers? I don't know about that. I'm sure some of the clubs wouldn't allow sneakers. Some had very strict "business" dress codes that were enforced. There were some that I couldn't get in because I was only wearing a T-shirt. Not even my friend George Washington helped me get in those clubs. Err, uh, I mean um, Benjamin Franklin.

See their point? You wear a T-Shirt you're either too poor or too drunk to pull out the big money. Sneakers and T-Shirts go together like peas and carrots.

Moscow is not Russia ... Moscow is completely different than the smaller cities and towns. Going to a club in Naberezhnye Chelny near Kazan does not have any of that pompous ####### ... it's a club .., you can pay, you get in. If you are with a woman, the other women leave you alone and other guys leave the woman you are with alone ... again ... Moscow is doing it's best to be its own entity.

City Cat you are so right ... American face control is so much easier to manage ... dress sharp, look sharp, act aloof .. you're in.
