  1. Can't fall asleep. Too noisy & stuffy, too much on my mind. Am listening to today's 1st azans: 2 of them real close, the rest are distant.
  2. The plane was full of kids, lots of screaming, but it's still so much better than drunk compatriots.
  3. Landing in Istanbul is like parking a car here: the plane circled over Istanbul, then almost took us halfway to Ukraine across Karadeniz.
  4. Restaurant boys taking wrong guesses: three of them thought I was from Holland.
  5. Escaped from the kids. To Starbucks, of all places, for the first half-liter of iced coffee in weeks. Now I'm happy.
  6. In Istanbul. Not entirely happy yet, want the sea back. But Kybele is so cozy, it's making the transition somewhat easier.
  7. Leaving Kanara & the Aegean in 1 hour. Feeling miserable. But we've had a great time here. Can't wait for next summer already.
  8. Rest in peace, Vasily Aksyonov.........
  9. RT @CEQuirk: If a government cracks down and no one tweets about it, did it happen? #xinjiang
  10. @vkonnander Thank you so much, Vilhelm!!! Good luck!
  11. I'm on vacation. (Special request to Russia: please don't start a war, the way you did last summer, just after my vacation started. Thanks.)
  12. Inaccessible Moscow, by drugoi: http://bit.ly/Swq9t - nothing's changed since 2006, when kmaka wrote this: http://bit.ly/2mnyx6
  13. Also hate it when the stupid things are getting inside the lamps. Had to wake Misha last night to help me rescue a rather gorgeous moth.
  14. Could be worse, though: our friends found a scorpio in their house up in the mountains a few days ago.
  15. Love nature, but hate it when bugs keep falling on me. Especially those stinky flat green ones.
  16. 'Bowers' means 'dacha', I suspect. A summer house. Amazing: 3 words that I've never heard in my life. Should ask what dictionary he's using.
  17. Ah, I'm beginning to forget my English: 'прохладительные напитки' is 'soft drinks', right?..
  18. Another word: 'febrifuge'... for 'прохладительные напитки' - 'non-alcoholic drinks'... Мамо...
  19. Then again, I'm learning new English words this way: e.g., 'manumission'...
  20. I'm so tired of translating from really bad English into an okay English...
