After a week in Russia, I continue my journey to Israel. I spend a week visiting both sides of Jerusalem, where I encounter sites from the three Abrahamic religions.

Once upon a time, the city of Tskaltubo, Georgia was a thriving spa town, with major Soviet figures such as Stalin frequenting the bath houses. After the fall of the Soviet Union, however, the local economy collapsed and tourism was all but non-existent.

Why praise a warlike nation that has brought so much misery to the world? Why don’t you visit Avdiivka, or Bakhmut, or Mariupol? Show us what Russia is really capable of! 💀🚾🩸

    Quand j'étais petit garçon, j'ai rencontré une fois une énorme tortue luth de la taille d'un ballon de football, et la bouche de la tortue puait parce qu'elle avait des morceaux de fibres textiles et des animaux morts dans ses dents. J'ai apporté la tortue à un vieil homme de notre rue qui était soldat. Il l'a aidée, mais la tortue est morte au bout de quelques jours. Je l'avais dans ma chambre, sous le lit, mais comme il sentait si mauvais, mon père m'a ordonné de le remettre dans la rue.

    It is quite ironic that a indigenous Egyptian thinks you look Egyptian due to your mixed parentage. More proof that the ancient and modern egyptians are most likely descended from the intermarriage of peoples along the Nile valley (i.e light and dark skinned Africans with a respectable gene flow from the Near East and larger Mediterranean world). End of the day, Egyptians are indigenous Africans not Arabs.

      You can take a very cheap bus for $20 from Tallinn or Narva and reach Saint Petersburg! From there, you can take the bullet train to Moscow. I would say it’s much cheaper than flying through Istanbul, as those flights can be in the hundreds if not thousands these days

    Кстати, Вкусно и Точка - не самый дешевый способ покушать (я говорю про момент, когда оставалось 7000 рублей и нужно было экономить). Можно попытаться найти столовую - что-то типа дешевого общественного кафе, и там можно найти здоровую обычную еду, а не бургеры:) Так и искать в картах - "столовая¨. Столовые были популярны еще со времен СССР, как общественные кафе, особенно для рабочих, для студентов. Сейчас их меньше, но тоже можно найти! Даже на 3м этаже ГУМа есть столовая, где можно дешево питаться! Правда там обычно большие очереди:)
