Hey...it's in rubles!

Although we are decent at math (well, Scott's okay), it's still sometimes hard, in the moment, to figure out what we are spending on things. For example, I am pretty sure I ordered a $7 bottle of water with lunch yesterday. If the price of something is, say 375, we try to do the quick ruble-to-dollar calculation in our heads, but sometimes the numbers start running together. So our new motto is, "Hey, it can't be that much...it's in rubles!"

By the way, the conversion is about 23 rubles to 1 US dollar. We got a great deal on our 2 nights in Moscow, just 22,224.80 rubles...You do the math.
