Mon premier guide était presque insipide jusqu'à ce que l'on se retrouve au cimetière bolchévique. Le second m'a détaillé les pétroglyphes de Gobustan comme on interroge un prof d'histoire juif et communiste en 1942, le troisième était un sommet de caricature comme on en trouve une fois par voyage.

(Indeed, each time that I tried to wash my face, the ...

Whilst the design was identical to the dank and dreary Tbilisi metro, Baku's had been renovated, lit up and plastered with flat screen TVs and neon information panels. Gone were the cheap plastic tokens used to access the subway in Tbilisi , Baku had its very own Oyster card system (albeit one that cost 14p per journey!). As we emerged from the metro we entered a swirling dustbowl that was one of the main interchanges of the city, shortly after ...
