Europe or Asia?
... Sea to the Caspian Sea. I learned that Baku is 27.5 meters below sea level. Taking a journey south of the capital, Baku, and off the Absheron peninsula, we journeyed to Qobustan. The mud vulcanoes were worth the trip but the highlight was ...
Teuer!
... ab und zu ein paar Woerter (ich habe mir in der Tuerkei etwa 100-200 Woerter angeeignet). Ein ganz wichtiges Merkmal von Baku ist zudem das immense Verkehrschaos. So etwas habe ich noch nie erlebt. Wobei die Azeri wirklich selber schuld sind. Sie ...

Evrovision, here we come!
... ! Tsssk! Stupid Lonely Planet. All the info about Baku seemed to be three years old, and thus hopelessly outdated. Burning earth Azerbaijan is the land of fire. Not because of the people's spirits, but because the earth burns. Really! There are places ...

... surprisingly beautiful, cosmopolitan oasis-of-a-city called Baku, in the middle of a post-Soviet dystopian landscape. We arrived in Azerbaijan a few days ago. I decidedly prefer land borders, you know. Airport borders are cruel and abrupt in the way they ...

Crossing the Caucasus
