Where did you go?


A friend of mine is emigrating next week.

To Azerbaijan. Really.

Seems a bit excessive, just to see the Eurovision Song Contest! .-)


Had a friend who worked out there for a couple of years as a project
manager for an oil company, probably 10-15 years ago. He couldn't
wait to get back. I can't remember the specific reasons now, but
he did have a gun pointed at him a few times.
