I come from New Zealand.
Seeing my name is ambiguous, I tell you I'm male.
I live in Munich, Germany. Speak German also.
And I work for a major global telecomms company,
In the course of my work I have been to Moscow maybe seven times since 1997. Usually about 3 weeks at a stretch.
Normally we stay in Karushka, at the Hotel GazProm, and it's very nice there, but expensive.
But now I like to come to Moscow to learn Russian, and at my own expense. I have some months "off."
So, I can't afford GazProm ($us136/day) anymore.
The system here recommends Hotel Belgrad.
But I have no information about that, except price.
Anybody can give me a URL or help about this?
That's my main question.
Alternatively, sharing a "flat?"
I will pop up to Moscow next week (Sept 5) on the Aeroflot, and stay 2-3 weeks to try and sort this out.
Then I hope to start language study some time in start or middle of October until end February, most likely at the Moscow U.
Any comments will be received gratefully.
