For the last ten years, my work in Moscow has been in one way or another connected with advertising: I managed to work as both a customer and a contractor. Therefore, when I sat down to write this text, some rusty professional registers turned on and slogans like "Best vacation for the people, from the people". No, I won’t write advertising text. Advertising gives me diathesis and mumps. I will describe what is available and name the price. I have never had experience in such a business. Let's see what happens.
