Salam elim! On the Karavshin trek across the Pamir-Alay mountain system, summer weather is normally glorious. Mornings bring guaranteed blue skies, by midday a few insignificant little clouds might swell up (or possibly rather more significant ones); and toward evening there might be a fine drizzle. At night the clouds dissolve, and whoever’s lucky enough

Hi folks! Ok, you’ve had a couple of intro posts already; now let’s get this started properly: the Karavshin trek – one of the most beautiful routes I’ve ever walked with my own two feet – our first day… First up: where is it? In the very southwest of Kyrgyzstan, on the border with Tajikistan:

It’s time to move on to fuller accounts of our July-August adventures in Kyrgyzstan and the Sayan Mountains, and I figure that their telling should go in chronological order: first, the Karavshin trek in the Pamir Mountains, and then rafting down the Sayan Oka River. But before anything else we need to settle some geographical

Ladies and gents, boys and girls – greetings! It’s been a while. But of course it has: there was a vacation-heavy summer to get through! And now, finally, the time has come to begin my traditional tales from the summer-holiday side… This year I’ll be splitting these write-ups into two segments: the first – all

Privyet, droogs! Yes – we’ve been stitching time and saving the world a full 29 years already! And last Friday we celebrated those 29 years in typically unrestrained, loud, colorful, and rock & rollicking style. Also typical: the venue – the only one in the Moscow Region that can fit us all in: the Zavidovo

In the summer of 1982 – 44 years ago – arguably one of the greatest works in the history of Hollywood-kind premiered: Blade Runner. But in Chinese numerology, 44 is a “bad” number (“four” sounds a lot like “death” in Mandarin), so, should we wait until, say, summer 2027 to bring this topic up? But

On our Irkutsk–Yakutsk–Magadan–Yakutsk winter road-trip we finally rolled into civilization and were fast approaching Yakutsk Airport, from where we’d soon have the good fortune to be heading home. But before the triumphant finale to our adventures, we decided to investigate a topic that’s been pertinent to the locals here since, like, forever: connecting the two

It was a short flight from Lima, Peru up to Bogotá – the capital of Colombia. We had just one day here, and it was a strictly business one at that – alas, no tourism this time. No shots of unusual nature or off-the-beaten-path spots either. But here’s something that always makes me smile in

Hola folks! Lima oceanside walkies – done; next up – our LatAm partner conference, with 220 guests, from 19 countries. So. What? Why?!… It’ all rather straightforward really. Practically any mass-market product is sold not directly but through retail chains, distributors, resellers, and so on. Well – maybe with the exception of online sales of

Cities come in all shapes and sizes. There are the standout urban projects – like the island-city-state of Singapore. There are megacities that really lucked out with phenomenal natural beauty all around them – Rio de Janeiro, for instance. There are imperial capitals – St. Petersburg, say, or Beijing. And there are plenty of cities
