I only know a Hungarian. She's very emotional and touchy.
Her mom is exactly the same way. Face-petting, public crying, and has patted me on the ass and exclaimed in Hungarian how pretty it is (her daughter translated for me without a trace of embarrassment, and found it hilarious that I was weirded out). Extremely, possibly excessively, forthright and direct.
Also, when I do the fake-patient bit, the Eastern European doctors are usually very good but possessed of unnervingly tiny privacy zones. Sometimes the fake patients end up scrunched into a corner, ducking away to keep from touching noses with the doctor (also, they are generally deaf to American PLEASE BACK OFF, YOU'RE GIVING ME A WIGGINS body language).
Robin's BF is so the Best Evah, and now I'm eager to hear lisah's CD as well.

When I was at this club (Propanganda, for those keeping track) in Moscow, a woman sat on my barstool. Not that I'm being overly proprietary to call it mine -- I was sitting on it at the time. I made the culturally ignorant error of leaning towards others in my party, and baring half the seat. She paid no attention to the fully empty stools, sat on the clear half, and completely ignored me.
My experience with Russian men involved one who, during the Gorbachev era, proudly claimed "I am anti-communist!" and one who jokingly shouted "I love you, let's go to America!" So, um, yeah, more forward. Definitely.
The most forthright Russian guy I've ever encountered was on the other side of a vast cultural gulf -- he was repeating "I
love
niggers!" to us with such glee I thought he was going to wet himself.
All the Russians I've known were members of my family. I thought it was just, you know, them. Or us. Not that that's me. I don't think.
Anyway, not much for the filter between brain and mouth, in my experience.

Ah ha. Like the young woman I met who was so happy to tell us "my parents were Cossacks!" She didn't realize I'm Jewish.

Oh, as usual, dear. Twice.
I'm stuck here for at least twenty more minutes while this upload finishes.

I like Lisah's CD a lot.
I am not musically literate enough to write good reviews, however.
But, you know, supporting a "hometown girl"...and they are fun songs.
