Hot Springs
Hi, The Russian hospitality is great! I went to the very same hot spring two years ago - it was really nice there - a true Russian "spa" :-) Keep writing, I really like your blog!

Beautiful Pictures.
Hi Edward firstly great Blog. I am shocked that you actually did this journey into Afganistan on your own. Are you planning another trip to Afganistan again, I've been reading about a place called Nuristan where the country is like untouched by the outside world. I am very keen in going there if there's a chance. Regards, Ranjit

Hey Ed, this Leo, am not so sure weather you remember or not but I was the one who took the picture you used above. \"Arm wrestling during a drinking binge, Yap\". I tried emailing you the pictures but was putting in the wrong email address. Anyways, if you have facebook hit me up, or email me at yinug_leo@yahoo.com Still have all the pics.

Seems your goals in travelling have shifted from searching for the most remote or untouched cultures to a kind of pilgrimage to all the oldest churches and temples. Though I suspect these goals are secondary to just the experience of travelling and meeting people itself. The Natural Russian landscape looks very similar to Canada. I count my lucky stars we have a more socialist and democratic government though. (for now)

7th Sweat?
first time I heard of this. And a bride fair? Gosh, those ladies left behind after all others were chosen must have felt really bad, 7th sweat or not! You're a superb storyteller, Ed. Really. And have I told you I'm really impressed about your photography lately? What cam are u using now?

Excellent writing
Beer in plastic bottles is just wrong. Even more so in large plastic bottles. I liked the topics of conversation of the drunks and the babushki. But what was it with that waitress? Was it her disbelief at a foreigner speaking Russian that caused her not to understand you? But why would she laugh like that? The blatant rudeness of some Russians just keeps on puzzling me...

Beautiful writing - funny and painful by turns - and exquisite photos. Uglich does not seem to live up to its name!

Seems this tradition is also in China. Your supposed to answer tricky questions the bridesmaids ask or pass obstacles and gift your way into her home. . then carry her out to the car /carriage.

Hey Ed, nice entry. I love strolling through cemeteries, they\'re so peaceful and melancholic. You are right, it is ironic and sad that the hordes who died for their country are put to rest in such an anonymous way. It still happens these days, just look at Vietnam or Iraq veterans in the US. Anyway, keep the good blogs coming. Cheers, Jens

That's all?
Frankly, I got so used to reading your long (but very interesting) blogs that I felt deprived finding it 'short' by my standards. :) Just the same, it's still an enjoyable read. And yes, that's a more attention-grabbing title. Hey, you're getting on with those stolen human interest shots. Nice.

Lovely blog
I loved reading about your time here. Your description of Peter and the little boy give the story real character. I felt like I was reading an old tale. Keep it up.

Before launching a boat in sea one must take safety measures that he can protect the sudden fire incident. Fire boats are necessary to prevent this. fire boat
