imperium

spent most of this beautiful weekend reading Ryszard Kapuscinski's wonderful Imperium, about the Soviet Union. Imperium in one hand, a small atlas in the other...you can now add Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to the list of places I want to visit.

wanderlust also triggered by Gina's recent blog entries....that passport! those photos! my god. what am I doing in Budapest, working for The Man?

because that's what I'm doing now - freelance english teaching, for anyone with any sort of 'business' background in their previous life, means Business English. and that is all about going into oil companies, insurance and finance corporations and government agencies....

Remember, you need to work for the man to collect the stamps in your passport! I'm doing it now and hating every minute. BUT, I'll have a crispy clean passport with fresh pages to be stamped in 2008 along with funds in the bank to head out again. Iran first.
