Monday Sixer - a travel Meme

Hey, the questions are not revealing the dirty details, but it was nice. Cheers to Shrike.

List all of the countries you've been to - or ten of the last ones. Stays less than a week do not count.

Danmark (even though I don't remember), Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan.
Well, that's it. Though I like to travel. But even my recent trip to Belgium has only been 5 days, I've been in Finland for some times, but never longer than 6 days, London saw me on weekends. Do festivals in the Netherlands count? I doubt.

Which local speciality has created the best or longest lasting memories?

Gemüse mümmeln in Aserbaidschan.

How about one that got you really angry?

Almost being raped in Turkey. We've been there in our last class at school, kind of an exchange with an extra trip. But when we had a very small hotel at the lake Egedir very far out, our host seemed to believe the damn Hurriyet facts about German tourists easy to shag. He had not enough beds for our group in his hotel, so four of us girls (the eldest) decided to take the room in a building close by together. Well, this was a trick. Shamefully he was encouraged by a German male tourist who behaved like shit when we girls came back from taking a shower. I think we were more angry at this dumbass than about the missguided host. Well - we were four, and they were set aback by our courage, so no real harm happened.

The most dangerous incident you came across?

See above? Well, I think really more dangerous was going anywhere by taxi in Azerbaijan and Turkey. Masallah!

What would you like to see go away considering travelling across the globe?

Land mines? US american immigration?

If you could have one building, place or scenery moved across the street from your home, which would it be?

The harbour cafe in Baku! It was such a lovely little place, but it was closed and weathered. Dr. Nemat Rahmati later told me that it was unbearable to sit there and have your tea or coffee when the wind came from the seaside, because of the toxic oil smell.
