Thanks for the comments again people. Yes, cameras do get damaged in those temperatures. I had to keep it hanging around my neck and under my reindeer fur clothing. I would take it out and use it for fifteen minutes, by which time my hands and eyes would need covering up again anyway, then put it back under to warm up for a while.

Need time
I need lots of time to go over your blog. I breezed through it now, then decided I'd read it more leisurely the next time. Need time to digest all these. Tough life, indeed. What adventures you make, Ed. Been waiting for this blog , and I intend to read them slowwwwly. It's an altogether different world, really. Thanks for sharing.

Informative as always
Yep, you are probably the most interesting writer on travel blog, and the places and adventures you go through are on par with some of the great explorers of yore. I shall definately buy that book of yours if ever you finish it and get it published.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Scott and Anny: money - private tutoring English language in Moscow (and this trip wasnt that expensive anyway); time: the 10 day Russian New Years holiday; conviction: obsession! re publishing - am trying to amalgamate a few blogs together into a book at the moment.

Staggering, beautiful, informative, brave and honest. As always your writing is of a caliber rarely seen on this site. You've probably heard this platitude before, but your writing is easily good enough to be published. Ever considered it? You are always travelling, in so many disparate places in Asia, how te hell do you find the time and the money!? The conviction?

Wow..
That is a seriously tough life to lead.. You've probably heard that Gazprom intend to exploit oil reserves in Yamal - does that worry you? Am going to put a link to this on my blog. Write a book!

Great writing, as usual
If there is anyone who would do it, I'd put my bets it would be you, Ed. The things you have to undergo in the name of adventure. And here we are, your readers, enjoying your adventures without suffering minus 35 degrees in the cold and missing meals and winks. Way to go ,Ed. Can't wait for your next blog. You don't miss the details. And I love that about your blogs. Stay warm and dry, if you can.

So true
Your observations on the difference between Tajikistan and Afghanistan strike a chord with me. Education and awareness, a willingness to learn and step outside the box make people in some parts of the world stand out. Didn't make it to Tajikistan but the Kyrgyz were a sight for sore eyes after dealing with Han Chinese for far too long
From Blog: Tajikistan - probably the best country in the world

All I can say is wow. This is incredibly well-written, and it's so brave and honest sounding, but all I can think about is how great of an adventure this had to of been. Just reading it filled me with this sense of complete disbelief. How wonderful! I live in the desert though, I can't even imagine living in a clime so cold! Thank you for putting this on here, it opened my eyes to something I'd never even thought about before.
