    <para>As in most countries, when traveling in Russia you should make hotel reservations ahead of
      time. There are no "motels", as we in the US understand that word, where you have a chance of
      getting accommodations without reservations. In the major cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg and
      the capitals of the NIS countries), there are many Western-owned and operated hotels which
      offer all the comforts and services we are accustomed to. You'll feel quite at home
      there.</para>

    <para>When you arrive, tell the desk clerk that you have a reservation:</para>

    <para>When checking in, you'll be asked to show your passport for registration purposes. In the
      large cities, the desk clerk will give you а <foreignphrase xml:lang="ru"><emphasis

          role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">карта

      on it) together with your <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru"
          >ключ</foreignphrase></emphasis> room key. Keep this card handy as often you'll be asked
      to show it to the doorman to get in, especially if you return late in the evening. Most of the
      major hotels have the magnetic key-card systems, though in the smaller cities you'll get a
      real key. In hotels in the smaller cities when you go out, you will probably be asked to leave
      your key with the woman responsible for your floor. She'll ask you to show your room card when
      you return and want to pick up your key. This procedure is less common, however, in the larger
      cities, though you will have а <emphasis role="bold"
        ><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">дежурная</foreignphrase></emphasis> floor lady. These are good people to get
      to know as they can help with all kinds of things, such as getting laundry done, bringing you
        <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">кипяток для
        чая</foreignphrase></emphasis> hot water for tea in the evening, helping with all sorts of
      problems you might encounter. They do not expect monetary tips, though a little gift will
      always be appreciated.</para>

      upcoming business trip.</para>

    <para>Listen to the dialog several times with your books closed. Do not repeat it. Try to
      understand what the speakers are saying. Working as a group, discuss what was said. Then
      listen to the American's lines. You are responsible for learning these. You are also
      responsible for being able to understand the Russian's lines and to respond to them in the

      <para>Take a look at the following list of hotels in Moscow and choose one which appeals to
        you. Call your travel agent (your instructor) and make reservations for a short stay. Decide
        if you are travelling alone or with someone. Make certain you have the correct address;
        check by reading it off to the agent. Ask the agent what he/she knows about the hotel, what
        interesting sights are located nearby (recall your expressions for getting to places!), what
        services are offered, how much the rooms run, whether or not breakfast is included, etc. And
        don't let the agent talk you into anything you don't want!</para>
