West and Russia spar, China wins

When the Kremlin proposed Khabarovsk as a possible venue for the European Union-Russia summit meeting of May 21-22, Vaclav Klaus, Czech president who holds the revolving EU presidency, reportedly warmed up to the idea.

Khabarovsk has nothing to match the architectural ensemble in Prague. But the frontier town in the Russian Far East, nine time zones from Brussels, can be a delightful watering hole of boulevards named after Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx and Alexander Pushkin, where a lapdance is hard to steer clear of, especially after a shot of fiery Siebierka vodka.
