Just quizzed Google on how much is to play tennis, one, in summer New York, Central Park. == $15/1 hour , single time play.
Two, how much is vodka in US? It says it's around $15 for half-liter. Ok, it's one 0.5L bottle of vodka for 1 hr. of summer tennis in N.Y. (approximately). Now, in Moscow Russia, summer tennis price in 2011 was around R750/1 hour, that is, $25. But it's 5 bottles of vodka; we've come up with cheap vodka quite recently due to Putin's friends being leaders (may be sole ...

Why Belgrade? It's simple - sunny warm weather in November. I played three times in four days, - in the sun and on red clay. I also ventured to ask the same question "What do you do when you want to play and no partner?" - let's say, about ten times to various guys there.

So far, so good with the stats - we are 70% grown since March, hitting 200 unique visitors a day and 7 matches per day played in August in Moscow lounge.

No, seriously, I was not, although had a raquet and balls. This is a city for soccer and basketball. You may find the playgrounds everywhere for those two - but I had seen no tennis courts. There is one near the Stamboul University main building seen clearly from the satellite. Meanwhile I spent half a week looking out for beaches because of the heat (+41C). There is a wonderful Kilyos just north of Istanbul on the Black Sea (a.k.a. Kara Deniz), with white sand and long gentle beach, and I'd been ...
