When in Austria - eat Goulash soup to escape your Russian ski-instructor.

When your ski-instructor introduces himself with the phrase: "I am Victor, your ski-instructor.", with the strong emphasis on syllables only Russians can apply, then the best advice would be to run as far and fast as possible.
