Technically, my phone works (sort of). I can get text messages without any real problem it seems. I have not received any phone calls and I probably wouldn’t pick up if I did. To use my phone costs about $1.50/min. That’s a bit price for me right now.
My email works perfectly. Also, comments made here also get emailed directly to me, so if you have something to say that you think everyone would enjoy hearing, go for it.
I’m getting a new mobile phone here in a couple of days. My understanding is that it should be much less expensive for me to call the states with it. I don’t know how expensive calling cards for here would be. If anyone finds one that’s cheap, post the details in a comment or email them to me directly.

Googled phone cards a while back and found a couple of unknown brand (well at least unknow to me). One from IsCard.com had some very low rates, so low that it makes me wonder about the call quality. Funny thing though, it costs about 10 x more to call from Oslo to US than US to Oslo on the same card. Idea for Shad. You call just long enough to say “Call me back!” When you get a phone number please let us know and also the best time for us to call. Mark
PS How are wine prices? US vs France vs Italy
No luck on wine. There’s like a 90% tax on all alcohol here. I haven’t really looked too hard, but I do know that Bill (my manager) paid nearly $25 for a 6-pack the other night. I’ve heard that a bottle of cheap bourbon goes for around %50. So it’s not looking good. Seems that it’s really easy (and cheap) to get the things you “need” but very expensive to get the things that you only “want”.
Shad… check the price on Vodka. It’s close enough to Russia that it must be on the “need” list.
