Tuesday brought us to the US Embassy, where we had a fascinating conversation with Ambassador Burns and his staff, on topics including nuclear cooperation, economic incentives, and election year politics. In striking contrast, we spent the afternoon with an animated Venezuelan entrepreneur who has been working in Russia since the mid-1980s, and is now the founder and majority shareholder of a publicly-traded restaurant conglomerate -- one of our team members was even asked to launch a new franchise in Hong Kong. In the afternoon, we learned about Private Equity and Real Estate investment from the experts at Alfa Capital.
We jumped into the cultural life of Moscow with a visit to the Bolshoi Theater. After a meeting with the deputy director, we were lucky enough to catch a performance of Giselle, which was beautifully done. Due to jet lag and other unavoidable factors, a significant portion of the men fell asleep in their plush velvet seats.
