Novosibirsk


















The best thing about this city is the imagination that's been put into the average coffee shop. I now know what they did with the 'Crystal Dome' when they stopped making the 'Crystal Maze', when I walked into this place and ordered a skinny latte I half expected Richard O' Brien to appear from nowhere wearing a leopard skin coat, playing a harmonica and yelling "Would start the fans please!" at the top of his voice.




If you're wondering my final count was 123 gold but 67 silver so I didn't win a hang-gliding holiday. Not 200 metres down the road from this magnificently different coffee shop is the imaginatively titled 'different' cafe. It appears that you really need to have somekind of gimick in order to survive in the dog eat dog world of the Russian cafeteria industry.
