There is this shop next to my metro station where I buy DVDs for 200 roubles a pop. About 8 bucks. Of course I’m not kidding myself here--I’m sure that every DVD and CD in the store is bootleg. I could buy the new Bond DVD before it even opened in Russian theatres. I’ve probably bought at least half a dozen DVDs there.
Anyway, yesterday I bought two DVDs to keep myself company. I pop one in and--despite the fact that the case clearly says it has English sound, it is 100 percent in Russian. Not even English subtitles. Same with the second one.
Pathetically, I don’t think I even know enough Russian to argue with the guy. So the way I see it, I have no choice to learn perfect Russian, and earn my sixteen bucks back.
