Who is in Warsaw and wants to meet?

I am moving to Warsaw today. Let's see what life brings next.

Price of life

A Swedish citizen friend of mine even moved to Baku, complaining of Stockholm.

I plan to start a YouTube channel and livestream weekly once I am settled. There is too much to say that writing doesn't cut it anymore.

I envy those got to see Ozzy live...

Azerbaijani government banned people from holding an anti-Russian protest in front of the Russian embassy in Baku. Tells you a lot about their performative theatrics.

I need to stay in Bosnia for at least a month. I am in the Srpski republic, however.

Azerbaijan just arrested dozens of Russians. The Ministry of Internal Affairs says they are gang members who are suspected of drug transit, trafficking, and cyber fraud from Iran.

Good suggestion.

Do I know anyone in Bosnia? I am dying out of boredom here.

I also get triggered every time because it feels like the Russian flag.

I am in the Republic of Srpska and boy do they love showing flags everywhere here.

People ask why I switched from Engineering to journalism often. Honest reply: these books fucked my life

Few things make me feel good about myself other than being thanked or referred to by other scholars.

Man, I love researching random stuff. I found a guy from the Faroes who travelled to Baku, wrote to the national archives there asking about him, and someone casually replied to me that "He was my great-great-grandfather's youngest brother". How cool is that

CAUCASUS BLOG: Azerbaijan’s sealed land borders serve power, not security Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, Azerbaijan remains the only country in the region to keep its land borders closed, not only to foreign ...

Azerbaijan quietly opened the Astara crossing to allow foreign citizens to transit from Iran to Russia, Belarus and other destinations. What was declared a zone of danger in peacetime suddenly became safe during wartime, provided you held the right passport. www.intellinews.com/caucasus-blo...

This is such a beautiful image. One can't describe Azerbaijan better than this. From Aliyev's visit to Xınalıq, 2006.

Probably not the best time to blast it.
