Thanks to the work here necessitating substantial amounts of contact with the main red neck who runs the second farm, it was unavoidable that his ideology would influence me in some way. After politely enquiring of me, “What the fuck do you have going ... Read more >

Tajikistan Impressions:
The border crossing was a better experience than the one from Turkmenistan into Uzbekistan. The Uzbeks had a few people in line, so they didn’t need to single us out, just check to make sure all the ... Read more >

Deci iata-ma ajuns si aici ...la Moscova, capitala Imperiului sovietic.... Am coborat din nori, brusc, cu avionul intr-un decor cenusiu, intre niste case micute si nori grosi. Aceleasi strazi cenusii si prin oras, acelasi taxi care nu respecta aproape ... Read more >

WE DIDN’T REALIZE HOW MUCH WE WOULD miss Doctor David. He was a great birder and a really nice guy but he had booked only the Extension tour. His replacement was the exact opposite, and with a big, noisy camera to boot. We also ... Read more >
