It’s amusing to think that just as these American shows insist on depicting Russia like one big dilapidated “Dostoevskian” bed sit, they also dished up unfeasibly glamorous settings for out of work actors and waitresses in Friends and Big Bang Theory.
Re: the biit about how much better services are in Russia and China, our latest storm in the UK brought trees down and served connections and resulted in our phone lines being cut. We're still waiting for restoration. Apparently it will take another month. But even trying to get in touch with them was a bloody nightmare with all the different services. Was it the responsibility of BT? Sky? EE? etc. If there was one centralised (dreaded word - collectivised!) service then I'm sure the whole thing would have been sorted by now.

"served" connections should be severed connections.
Russia is not all pretty. Most of the good looking stuff is coming from tourists who are in tourist areas.
If you went to NYC or San Francisco tourist areas, it looks great there too.
