                <description><![CDATA[You should cultivate friends in locations where you are planning to visit. Make contacts on internet bulletin boards and seek advice from like-minded locals on any activities/hotels/restaurants etc. <br><br>This is always the best way to minimise your risk when visiting a new city (or even one that you have been to many times!). Also, be prepared to help others with advice on your own city also :-)]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This legendary hangout frequented by expats, students, and local residents since 1996 recently moved to a new location (now right across from the US consulate).<br><br>The casual cellar atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. The staff pretty much all speak English. The moderately-priced menu (in English and Russian) features tasty American-style food including nachos with homemade chili, and monster burgers like nowhere else in the city. <br><br>Free WiFi and internet phone are really conveninent and helpful, and the English-language book and video library can help keep you sane if you're stuck here in winter. <br><br>The bar attracts a younger crowd late nights on weekends, especially when there's a DJ or band. It can get a little wild (in a fun way), and it's a great time to meet and party with locals.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[What is it? A bar that serves food and fantastic cocktails and also has an internet cafe and a shop selling all the booze you've just drank in the bar. But that doesn't do it justice.<br><br>It's simply the best bar I think I have been in for a very long time (besides one in Prague and I'm not telling you where that is because it's mine. ALL MINE. OK?).<br><br>Spread over 3 floors, the ground floor is home to the shop, internet lounge and the bar itself.  To describe it as 'a bar' is an understatement on a parallel with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon being merely a garden. This place is a mecca to booze. I counted 17 seperate types of Absinthe on the wall. 17!<br><br>The first floor is home to another room, decked out with comfy seating where you can spread out and lounge around, also a couple of raised bed/seats with curtains and a shedload of fabric in general, along a Thai type theme.<br><br>The third floor has yet another room with large sofas and chairs, and as an added bonus it's non-smoking. You do feel a bit detached from the rest of the bar but get enough of your crowd in there and it's more or less all yours.<br><br>Food, although I haven't tried it, looked tasty (spying on the plates as they came out) and entirely Thai.<br><br>It's worth taking a stool at the bar and watching the lads behind it create cocktails from the mammoth list.<br><br>In a word: quality.]]></description>

There are seven terminals in a separate room, printers and so forth, and ethernet and power sockets by each table in the cafe itself. Also has wi-fi and cable TV for main sporting events.<br><br>Happy hour for drinks from 5pm, and English breakfast is on the menu too.]]></description>
