You have been waiting for weeks to get into the new Russian restaurant down the street, and finally you are here. You and your spouse are so thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to eat here while you are travelling in St. Petersburg. The atmosphere is perfect-romantic and quiet. The Russian host lays the menus in front of you. You thank him in Russian, he tells you he will give you a few moments to look over the Russian menu, and he walks away. You really don’t know what you were expecting, but for some reason you were surprised to find the entire menu in Russian…well, of course it is! The waiter approaches your table and asks if you are ready to order. You motion questioningly at the menu and try to tell him in Russian that you cannot read it. He asks in Russian what you like and he will order for you…but you can’t even tell him that.
