A Short Time in Baku

Dec 24, 2005 - Jul 25, 2008
It has been almost a year since that I have been back home and the last time was spent mostly in the hospital watching my father slowly die.  I think that it might be a nice idea for me to write a list of things that I must do and buy for not only you my blog reading public but for myself as well.  So here it goes...1.  Just breath the clean air of a small town Indiana morning in August.2.  Visit my father's gravesite for the first time.3.  Visit my grandmother's grav...

Barf Laundry Detergent

It was about last year at this time when I came across Lemon Barf Laundry Detergent at Tema Supermarket in Naxcivan, Azerbaijan.  First, I was amazed that science has progressed so far that what was once a pain to get out of clothes is now being used to cleaned it.  Second, I was disappointed to know that for all this time I have been barfing in the toilet like a sucker.  Third, I was shocked to know that Barf came in a powder.  I have barfed in many toilets across the wor...

Baku the CityBaku’s Hyder Ali Airport (everything is named after this dude and his son who is the present ruler) is situated about 45 minutes from the city.  I was picked up by a taxi arranged by my hosts and a taxi driver who spoke no English and had it not been for five words of Azeri I heard him speak, I could  have sworn that he was an interesting find for the Anthropologists of the world as the first driver who didn’t speak any language at all. The drive from the airpo...

Please, please, please, please, PLEASE, DO NOT tell me you are sorry to hear about he having this illness.  There is a difference between being disabled and living with a disability.I have Crohn's Disease.  There, I said it.  Do not worry it; I cannot give you Crohn's.  I have tried various ways to give this fun barrel of merriment to every jerk-wad I have met and every former girlfriend who has screwed me over.  I have tried to use the power of my mind to project the...

Thoughts Before Taking Off and Idiotman Strikes Again
posted by:
Dec 14, 2007 - Dec 27, 2007
The one thing that I can say about almost every international trip I have taken is that my health has not always been in top form.  My first trip to Asia, I came down with a deep lower respiratory infection.  I was practically downing a bottle of cough syrup before taking off to make sure that my coughing would not hinder me on boarding the plane and entering China.  The infection lasted the entire time I was in the Land of the Giant Panda (Chengdu).  During my second trip...

2007 was a great year. Set off from London in July in a Nissan Micra for Mongolia. Got there 35 days later, left the Micra in Mongolia for chairty and then had to try and find my way home. Went via Trans-sib to Moscow, had to get out contry asap due to visa. Failed - got detained. Got back 2 weeks late for work and 55 days after London. Completely eyeopening and rewarding experience, if not quite tiring. Lost my camera in Mongolia so lots of friends photos other than my phone :(

I know this is a shock for anyone who knows me, but I am planning something... a silk road trip. I don't have a time frame yet (next spring I hope) but looking for any feedback from anyone. Also would love to find a few places to stay and friendly faces along the way.

My travelling throught the Caucasus countries started with a trainjourney from the Netherlands to Brussels. When I arrived in Brussels, it was 01.30am allready and with an airplane leaving for Riga at 09.00am, there was no point for me to search for accomodation in Belgium capital. So I decided to drop my luggage in the trainstation and stay up all night, waiting for a suitable time to go to Zaventem airport. I spended that night drinking a couple of beers in a bar in downtown Brussels with s...

I have heard such a great deal about Baku both last year and then this year from Azeris in Georgia.They were all extremely proud of their capital. So far the city has lived up to their descriptions in some ways though not in all. They boasted about how modern the city is, which is only partially true. Of course compared to many other places it is, but half of the city seems to beunder construction, a quarter is genuinely modern while the rest is falling apart. The road into the city from the ...

I woke up at 6am this morning to the sound of rain.  March Madness has begun and I needed to check the scores.  Aside from Duke losing, no major upsets.  I had to make sure that I had everything unplugged before leaving the apartment.  I used to pay a flat rate of 10 manat a month for electricity, then it became 12 manat, and then 20, and now they are regulating everyone’s use.  I am not going to take any chances while I am gone, so there will be no electric...
