After dinner, one of my favorite experiences was to visit a former Soviet bar called "Druzhba". The decoration hasn't changed for 30 years, original furniture, vintage posters of Soviet Madonna Alla Pugasheva… Behind the djs, a diptyque of videos from the 90s. The audience was made of 80 percent beauties.
