BAKU and LAHIC
Kategori: Allmänt
I went from Tbilisi to Azerbaijan by night train.
I got a friend on the train, the conductor, because she was born in the same day as me, but in 77 instead of 85, so she liked me right away. She did'nt talk english but we comunicated anyway someway. After a while she asked me if I had women-package. I was a bit confused, but then I understood. Yes! Do you want tampons? Her response was to throw herself backwards and scream "no no noooo tampons". It was kind of funny.
Baku my first day was most about:
-Me asking for direction and every person answer me even though they don't know the way. The result is me going around forever without founding what I'm looking for. It makes my tired.
-The personal on the Khazakstan embassy was the most helpful people I met in a long time. I got my Kirgiz visa for only 20 dollar in 5 hours. Very good!
Baku is really expensive.
A lot of Jeeps and girls in highheels.
Too many cars.
It should be a really nice city, because it has a nice location, a sea-walk and a lot of cafés and street life. But I don't really like it. I don't know why, it's just a feeling. But I like the Azerbaijani countryside more and would like to come back, especially for treeking in the north around Laza.
But I had time for one trip to the mountains, to Lahic, a little villiage north of Ismailiy. It was a bit rainy but it did'nt matter, I got a lot of nice scenery and a nice walk and mud and cows and a maniac folllowing me and it was just a lovley day.
I have some pictures but the uploader is not working...
