Estel, please log on as yourself next time.
Mietla, hehe, Slavonic languages are quite similar

I chated with Eva on ICQ yesterday. Now I am in black.

Another illusion dead. I thought that only here in Moscow police/militia can stop you and check your papers and registration, and in the US you don't have to always carry your ID papers

From chat with Eva: I said that last time I had my papers checked by Militia was 3 years ago, and I was so drunk that I could barely stand, and Eva said that in CA when "our grey friends" see you drunk in the street - they hold you and check for your criminal record...
I have heard horror-stories

about California, where you can't drink beer in the street and can't smoke in pubs, but checking anyone who's drunk for criminal record?... Maybe it's paradise on Earth, and cops don't have naything else to do?... I remember being stopped by a Militia sergeant in the subway several years ago and spending two hours in a cage talking with him, but then he said: "OK, you are sober enough now not to fall under a train, so go away and good luck!"

And it's Moscow fascist militia! In 2002 they stopped me and Greg Guerrera (Leonid), and I had to bribe them because I had an old Soviet passport and Greg didn't have official Moscow-city registration... I couldn't imagine that a US citizen can be fined and arrested for being in Moscow without registration, like some Tajik illegal immigrant...
