Azerbaijan

I recently took a job in Azerbaijan. Yeah, I hadn't heard of it either. The trip over was long and in total I stayed up for almost 30 hours straight. Now that I'm here and have had a few days and nights to adjust, I can finally sit down and post a new blog. Azerbaijan as a country is pretty cool. Their isn't a lot in the way of national history that is important in a global sense or that I would have heard of in school, but the city is old. There is a temple here that is among the oldest religious structures in the world (they worshiped fire back then in case you were wondering). The people seem to be polite if somewhat apprehensive about interacting with Americans, definitely not the same as the more western European countries. The food, oh the food is outstanding. All the produce is very fresh and they love simple meat and bread dishes with a side of veggies. I threw together a short video of my first few days here. Hope you enjoy. There will definitely be more frequent updates from here on.
