> OST-- "My development as a trainer: issues and exciting opportunities.
> (what better way to celebrate Independence Day of the Autonomous
> Republic of Bushastan?) The mini-OS included a second OS where one

> About OS and me
>  
> The first time I heard about OS was in 1998 when I was chosen as one
> of the participants for OS Conference in Berlin. That was "OS on OS",
> with Harrison Owen telling about the method and the majority of German
> participants. That was wonderful and gave me lots of ideas.
>  
> The method impressed me so much that very soon after the event I
> started to use it in various activities in my training work.
> Especially when number of participants was over 100. Actually the
> largest group I was working with had more than 300 people in it, it
> was Murmansk region (part of Russia next to Finland and Norway). The
> last usage of OS was in Vladivostok - that's the Far East of Russia
> close to China and Japan. And number of participants was relatively
> small - about 20. But the goal was a bit different.
>  
> What I like in OS - possibilities of modification, openness of people
> and their exchange of ideas. In my work of a business
> trainer-consultant I see lack of communication and normal information
> exchange as one of important problems. At all levels. љAnd here -
> magic comes.
>  
> OS in Moscow
>  
> I am very glad that this year OS Conference will be held in Moscow.
> There are several reasons for that:
> 
> 1) Russia is actually a great place to talk in general. We have the
> magic inside the country of developing ideas - kind of close
> connection with nature.
> 
> 2) Now people are ready for conscious understanding of OS and using
> it. My observations on the culture in business, NGO, society in
> generalљ - that we have plenty of methods for our life and work, and
> now it's the time when we can choose why and when we should implement
> concrete instrument.
> 
> 3) Our people will get information on the method from not one person
> who comes, but will be able to increase their knowledge looking from
> different angles. That leads to future usage.
> 
> 4) We have excellent magic Russian ... chocolate (seriously, try it -
> good, dark like Swiss) :)
>  
> Besides - Moscow and Russia is a great place. Something which is worth
> seeing, especially with good people around.
>  
> My recommendations:
>  
> 1) try to stay couple of more days and see a bit of the country (not
> only Moscow and Saint-Petersburgh but may be towns in the so called
> Golden Ring of Russia - that's close to Moscow). 2) It is safe in the
> city. But as usually like in all megapolices it's better not to go to
> some parts of the city alone late at night. You are going to be in the
> center mainly, so I don't see it as a problem. 3) I would recommend to
> learn Russian alphabet in order to read directions, names of stations
> in Moscow Subway (we call it Metro) - they don't put them in English.
> 4) Concerning cuisine - that's one of the greatest places to try a
> number of them. Both Russian, Caucasian (meaning Georgian,
> Armenian,Azerbajanian), of Uzbekistan and other southern countries, of
> Tatars. Actually a whole excursion can be made via our cafes and
> restaurants - they have a plot, a legend, which are reflected in the
> image and service. 5) Go to the Russian sauna - may be Sanduny :)
> that's a culture!
>  
> You are welcome here!
> See you very soon.
