OK, so what I did was find the post office. This one is in Olympic Park (Russian Disneyland) accessed by a side door of the Russia Friends House. The postal staff were very helpful and efficient. Most visitors perched, crouched or stood where they could writing letters, filling In post cards or collecting stamps. Everything displayed and all instructions are in Russian. A more than patient postal employee presented in a uniform resembling an early seventies flight stewardess (this is no slant it was immaculate and worn with pride) walked me through the process filling in blanks and posting what I selected. Interesting and kinda fun experience. Lost in Translation.
