Baku calling

Still in Azerbaijan. It's quite an interesting place, to say the least. The world's oldest rock carvings, miles of rusting metal in the oil fields, burning cliffs and great food.

The footy last night was f*ing cold and not such a great game. Still, it was an experience.

The Russian lessons given by the factory are coming in handy as people still use the language, not that I can say anything more than "please" and "where is the cinema?" (actually, knowing the word for cinema has come in handy when trying to find a restaurant!).

Off to Asgabat in Turkmenistan this evening for a few days.

There will be more detailed blogging when I get home!
