From the BBC:
Oil is set to flow from the Caspian Sea direct to the Mediterranean for the first time after a $3.6bn (�2bn) pipeline opened on Wednesday.
Starting in Azerbaijan, the 1,600km (1,000 mile) pipeline will pass through Georgia to the Turkish port of Ceyhan.
The project has taken more than 10 years to finish and will [...]

Taline and I were studying in the library today (Soviet/Russian foreign policy yaaaaaaay!) and decided to take a break by visiting random websites. Somehow we came to www.cainer.com, which does a “quick astrological character analysis” (whatever that is) when you put in your name and date of birth. So here I am, according [...]

Norwegian soldiers are awesome. This music video they made is hilarious…and much better than the original song by the Beach Boys.
Crystal and I will be making our own music video based on our Balkans trip, but it will have to wait until finals are over.
Also, The Onion asks “What do you think?” in regards [...]

In my previous post on the UK’s lack of nacho cheese, Christopher left the following comment:
What is a “nacho”? What is “nacho cheese”? and what on Earth is “Tostito’s Salsa con Queso”???

Another post about Egypt…enjoy.
Day 6: The Red Sea
After spending an entire day recovering from Cairo, we were looking forward to a trip to the Red Sea. Before coming to Egypt, I hadn’t really thought of going to the Red Sea, but after we looked through the tours available through Jolley’s we both decided that [...]

Just turned in my dissertation proposal (which I’m sure will be another future post) and finally have some time to sit down and write a bit more about Egypt.
Day 3: Riding camels and cruising down the Nile
In an effort to make the most of our week in Egypt and participate in as many cliches as [...]

Right. Egypt…pyramids…the Sphinx…camels…hieroglyphics…I’ll talk about all that, and more! I’m going to break this one into parts because I imagine it will become quite long, though.
