Why would signs in a Moscow airport be in English and not Russian (Cyrillic)?

Maybe it's directed at Americans traveling through Russia.

I've seen signs in different languages at airports before.

No. Less than 6%. But they all speak and read Russian......

You ever flown internationally before?

Yeah, a little bit.

I've worked in 32 countries and walked on every continent including Antarctica. I've got two million miles on Delta alone with about 80% of those miles flown on international segments.

I've flown into and out of Sheremetyvo Airport (the international Moscow airport) about 40 times. You?

And a big news sign like the one shown in the OP is not likely to be found in Sheremetyvo Airport in English.

I've traveled to over 50 countries and lived overseas for several years.

If it's in the int'l terminal then it's not totally unlikely. I recall there being a decent amount of English there.

Sure, but the evidence of this has conveniently only really shown up on one website?

No, a-hole, it's not a dick measuring contest. It's a good thing because you'd lose....

Russian, wasn't it TigahRag a few years ago that was busting your balls about not being in the Middle East, and you popped him with some real time pics to prove it? Or am I thinking of a different e-fight among different posters?

Well the obvious question is, have you ever been to Zwolle? If the answer is no then you don't know shite.

Wow. Have to say you are probably correct. Based on the butthurtness of your reply, I'd agree that you are a much bigger dick.

Maybe if you got out and saw more of the world, like me.

You remember correctly. I was in Kuwait and Rag kept saying I wasn't.

I eventually took a picture with a hotel employee in the hotel lobby with an Arabic sign behind us and posted it in the thread.

TigerFred called me in my hotel room to verify I was in Kuwait and he posted about it in the thread.(I posted the hotel phone number and my room number for Rag to call me before I took the picture.)

Even then Rag wouldn't believe TigerFred.
