Postcards from Russia - The name game (Post-athon day 6)

Ok, maybe you are wondering when I find the time to write so many posts now and why, if I have so much time to write, why don't i do it more often. Well, it's Saturday and this is the third post I'm writing today. And I still have another one to do at least before I can relax a little. Jeeezzz, the life of a regular blogger is exhausting.

Anyway, my point, Postcards from Russia is here, fifth post dedicated to this country, and maybe not last, cause the week I spent there left me full of posting ideas.

Today I want to play a game with you all, the name game. Cyrillic is an alphabet very similar to greek, and once you've seen it for a couple of days you can actually read it with some ease.

Once you know what a PECTOPAH is, the rest is easy.  It's actually funny to walk about the streets of Moscow articulating letters as you read them. Russians may think we tourists are idiots, but we tourists feel very intelligent when words start comming out our mouths and make sense. Cause Russian has many words that sound like a mix of Greek and latin, and I don't know what else

I made a selection of the best known brands worldwide and offer you to play the name game. Can you guess them all?

 Most of them are easy, with the giant M and the little syren, the last two are a bit more difficult, but I am sure that at least my friend Agnes will know. I would be very dissapointed if she doesn't.

I am officially exhausted. An this post only ensures I have posts till Tuesday... This is going to be hard... Why do I put myself through this?

Such is Life
