Or Alternatively...

It was Friday night last night so I went out into the town to find something interesting to write home about. I persuaded my Russian buddy to take me to one of the many casinos where I exchanged my half month's wage of 7000 roubles into chips and headed promptly over to the roulette wheel. I found myself surrounded by 5 Oligarchs who eyed me with suspicion as I placed my first bet of 1000 roubles. Naturally I won, and then I won more and eventually I had to be thrown out quite heavy handedly by the bulky Russian doorman, I think he said 'don't come back' but by this point I had lost my Russian buddy and discovered that I had no idea how to get home. I stumbled into the nearest bar and ordered vodka, I had meant one shot but the barman produced a bottle, and when I tried to explain he just demanded my money. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a 1000 rouble note from my newly acquired wad of cash. As the other people in the bar realised how much money I had they all came and sat with me. The rest of the night is a blur, the last thing I remember is singing karaoke and giving away my money. I awoke in the early hours of the morning in a dodgem car in the amusement park and crawled home to bed. It's crazy out here in this crazy town with its crazy folks...
