Moscow, Russia (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

Note too on the new sign how they have "Tiki" written in Roman characters and "Bar" written in Cyrillic. "Tiki" written in Cyrillic could theoretically be misread by drunken Muscovites as "titki" (= tits). :) CN PS - The street name should be Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya Ul. Toto, j'ai l'impression que nous ne sommes plus au Kansas ! [ Edited by: Club Nouméa 2011-02-23 20:47 ] [ Edited by: Club Nouméa 2011-02-23 22:25 ]
