Ukraina Hotel Simferopol

... to check it in again one hour later.
Anyway, my travel companion helped me to call the conference organizer because they were sending a cab to pick me up.
The plane ended up being 3 hours late. We are taken by a bus to the plane and when we finally reach it my face started to change. The plane looked oh so old, the cokcpit window was open and I thought it was broken. Plus it had persian writing on ...

... spesielt godt, og dessuten er så mektig at jeg først nå forstår hvorfor russerne drikker så mye vodka – det blir bedre plass helt enkelt. Eller sagt med en ikke navngitt politisk redaktør i en middels stor regionavis på Østlandet: Man blir så stinn av øl.

Men ølen kommer altså på bordet først. Men så er lite som det skal. For de tre neste delene kommer på hver sin tallerken. Først kan gjerne risen komme. Du småspiser litt av den, og tenker ...

I am now on a brief vacation in Crimea. So far I've been to Bakhchisarai, the ancient capital of the Crimean Tatars, and Yevpatoria, a beach resort community. Tomorrow I'm going to Sevastopol, where I'll see Chersonesus, some ancient Greek ruins. In case you're wondering, Crimea is a peninsula just barely attached to Ukraine that ...

... also stopped for some photos of what look like some giant golf balls. The guide's speech was all in Russian, but judging but the hand gestures I think it was some kind of astronomy observatory or weather station. Then we headed down the other side of the hills.

It will be interesting to see the future of Crimea since so many treaties will expire in the next decade. They may decide to become an independent country. Whatever they do, I hope they do it peacefully. I am glad I visited while I had the chance.

... community itself forced many to abandon their Uzbekistan homes and resettle in the Crimea, often reduced to camping outside of the towns, unable to afford housing or find jobs. They're very much the underdogs here today. Resident Russians tend to see themas unwelcome squatters. The Tatars themselves claim Crimea as their homeland, but Yvgeny points out they have to take a number -- this part of the world has as many layers of history as its limestone cliffs, having been occupied by so ...
