I'm familiar with the cuisine - want to find out if there are any restaurants worth visiting. And, of course, the best place(s) for Caviar.

She also says that women MUST be covered head to foot (especially at customs as they regularly throw people out who are incorrectly dressed) but she had a super time and people were very nice.
