Two things struck me about this story:

- Louis CK can say absolutely nothing interesting and still be engaging.  This was one of the lamest The Moth stories I've heard.  But I still stuck around.  Something about his intonation, maybe.

- Most travelers are like this.  They go to a place for insight, but they do nothing except transpose their existing feelings into whatever they observe.  

Anyway, he deserve a lot of credit for going to Russia in '94 in December like this.  No tourism back then.  People were barely out of the clutches of Communism, old ways still in place.  I remember going to Eastern Europe in '97 and by then, it had already changed so much that it didn't feel the way it used to.  For an American to go to Russia back then like this?  Props to him.
