"Skalpel" and Bukhara
What is there to dwell a lot? The very title of your post is yet clear ... Everything you can imagine. But however you pokatuję my wypocinami ...
November 19. the initiative of the Embassy took place concert of "Skalpel" in Tashkent. I can already see in SOME ó you patients with these ironic smiles on their faces. The gore you, ignorant! I know what I m \u200b\u200b ó knows for himself at the news of the show dinosaur ó in Polish pop music I had somewhat mixed feelings. Why, it is a good team for my parents, but I'm confident I can take an egg at a concert. Of course everyone associates "skaldic. Even if you can not adjust them at any given time song titles are familiar with the hits "Everything tells me someone to love me" "The sleigh ride lasts tears" and "Reflections in
iejskiego postman." As the mass audience hits befits those works are light and pleasant, catchy, but still quite trivial. This is of course no objection! To track became a hit must have "something" which makes it good fun with them. The songs, because they have become designata predicate "to be hit," become widely known and successive generations nuca their choruses under his breath. But I was afraid of what "Skalpel" present outside of their songs, which entered the canon of Polish music. Well, here comes my most intellectual indolence (his ashes humbly sprinkle). I was afraid that in addition to hits "Skalpel" still present "minor hits," or banal songs, which failed to break through to the mass imagination Mea culpa ... !
begin with, that the concert took place in the "Skaldowie for Two Pianos" - a very good idea who gave the music a more intimate character. Played on the piano and Stanislaw Andrzej Zielinski Deja. The violin and the vocals presented by Jacek Zielinski. Pretty soon it turned out (it turned out, of course, for me), that "Skalpel" is not just the lamp above the threshold, chair and door, but also the poetic texts watered really touching music. And so, starting with "Tomorrow I will find you" by "From sunrise to sunset," we arrived "more faithful to the dream, when it went through my head I thought that I zgooglować this song and the best find on YT. I asked Mr Neither the title and throughout I tried to remember the concert. Several songs continue my Kopar fell to the floor completely - "Skalpel" done a ballad rock-folk-classic (: P) "detecting, detecting". It was, for me, the culmination of the concert. Of course, only their ignorance owe that previously did not know this track, and more creativity, "skaldic. Hence, perhaps, my delight! In the end we really like to be positively surprised! Anyway, let me try one now, "skaldic" defile, is referring to the classic "package bydzie, but the solution ... "!
Finally, a few facts. The concert lasted for over one and a half hours and attracted nearly 600 people! It was the third concert of the group in Tashkent (former took place between 1968 and 1980). With "Skaldami" also appeared taszkencka cellist Anna Popovich, who previously appeared with the orchestra for our party to celebrate Independence Day. In addition to "skaldic" star performance was a little Julia - the daughter of Martha and Remka from the Embassy, \u200b\u200bwho cleaned up the scene hołubce the music, arousing amusement of the audience:)
After the concert there was a party, where the looser atmosphere could talk with the artists. On this occasion, a person can learn something about myself and it was from the same Andrzej Zielinski, for example, that resembles Leszek Mozdzer (!): P
On the occasion of the concert " skaldic "for the team came in Tashkent duszanbińska, that Magda and Seba. On Friday, woke up a little zmechacony after the - sign that grace the Grand and ETOH-, Deity Skorego the wrath and not very own mercy, descended on my spirit, my earthly aze flimsy shell pierced the sweet pain ... for that day obtained the dispensation from the obligations praktykanckich I went to a meeting with Magda, to show her although troszku Tashkent. According to the findings also bought tickets for the train to Bukhara, to which we move the evening along with Anya. And in Tashkent perestroika on the whole! Continuation of Amir Temur square around! Cut out all the trees in the square, leaving only the middle of Tamerlane.

Antyfotograficzna obsession has reached even further - you can not photograph the monumental, even the newly formed conference center, at least not if they are washed the windows! For convenience I will add that the windows are not washed there in a pile of orange vests bab and flowery skirts lifted off the parcianych lanes from the roof, but the skilled professional workers in modern lifts! There is no reason for shame! Wsjo no such lzja fotografirować !
evening, just before departure, we visited the " Elvis." On this occasion, greetings from Rudik for Martyna and Olga and the request to all who choose to bring your Rudikowi Tashkent Polish flags)
On the train we had tickets for the wagon płackartny. Interestingly, in the composition of Uzbek, counting about 20 cars, the venom of only 3-5 cars płackartnych , the rest is kupiejne + restaurant. We spent the evening watching the restaurant, and how would it differently, " Motosyberię ." I want to take this opportunity to point out that nobody did not pay for the promotion of this film;) which is a pity ...: P I just think this movie as one of the best travel video relationship that has been given to me view life! You have to spread good practice! ... Or not?
arrived to Bukhara crack of dawn, use the courtesy of the known man on the train, we went to the center of the square Lyabi Haouz, and thence to the cozy little hotel. After a short time arrived with a colleague Ikrom, the boy known on the train. Their friend got married on that day and according to tradition, all the men
invited to a wedding in the morning meet-fading. The guys decided to bring us a dish of bucharskiego płowu. I am there I like all varieties of this dish, so I tasted and bucharska! Then we went for a walk through the old town. I do not want to turn once ny dwell on monuments Bukhara, which is striking about which I have already written a little after . The main thing is that I managed to take a picture of Lada Żiguli Pjatorki and to meet the seller from the Afghan hats (remember Falcon?;)): P The girls planned course la grande shopping souvenirs, but the devil is not so terrible, and somehow I do not wymęczyło much. Late afternoon we arrived at the water tower across from the Palace of the Emir of Bukhara, and once again I had the opportunity to overcome his fear of heights and climb to the 30-meter, good standing of confidence r adziecką construction. It was worth it, unless I'm not;) evening, we had to go with Ikromem the wedding of his friend, but somehow the plan ultimately did not work out ... But we met with ... Skaldami, who in the meantime arrived in Bukhara in Uzbekistan pokoncertowego tour.
The next day we went to the north of Uzbekistan n ad-Kul lake Ajdar. Unfortunately, it did not make such an impression as I expected. It is to end disputes tank, but I think the season is not was the best, and our driver picked a poor place. Then we went to Nuraty. City worth seeing because of the provincial character and its monuments. There is a mosque since the tenth century, the ruins of a fortress founded by Alexander the Great, and a source of mineral water, inhabited by hundreds of fish, which the locals do not eat, convinced of their holiness. Moreover, a museum that is worth seeing. We went to this art for free, because the curator said that Poles rarely reach here. The entire museum was most interesting, "Uzbek Pampers." The day before I saw the bazaar in Bukhara, tube-like wooden pipes. Interesting were they to me enough that even I began to take a closer look, and wonder how to smoke tobacco in them. Well, he had not seen this vendor nor any Lokales, because I have become a ridiculed what the world is (hell knows, maybe I was: P) It appears that the pipe imposes lub applied to (depending on gender) the child is lying down on the "ending" and is derived beyond the cradle. In this way the child can give the power of without messing clothes. At least the theory behind ... Yeah, even in such Nuracie man to surprise you! ;)
the way back to Bukhara, have visited the Summer Palace of Emir of Bukhara. Picturesque location, but terribly neglected and looted. Most of the equipment was dismantled chambers by Uzbek officials (in the words of locals) and stands now at their residences. Poverty, as the said Minister Sikorski to Schetyna: P After Moreover, we were able to see the two half-wild camels, which the locals are trying to tame ...
the events of last week, it should be mentioned by several delegations to visit the country. Since I've not been in any way involved, it is not I will elaborate on them. We went with Anne to Theatre "Ilhom" on " Oresteia." Art, though ancient, as befits a "Ilhom" was not exhibited classic. Although my Russian would let me read only the fifth through tenth or less, and so I really enjoyed it. Admired their form, preferring it over the edge! ;)
Last week I was also taking place at the Embassy ceremony Kart Pole 11 citizens of Uzbekistan.
contrast, on Friday I had the great pleasure to try to meet the challenge ciekawemu. Namely, as already mentioned, the Polish Embassy in Tashkent local Presidency of the EU has, on account of lack of facility in Sweden. Therefore, regular meetings are held the heads of missions, consuls, commercial counselors and administrators. On Friday a meeting was scheduled and Mrs. consul consular asked me to lead this meeting! Do not tell me not to be nervous, mainly because of the lack of full discernment in the local consular matters, but I think it all went too bad:) Heheh such a way tow.jablona chaired the EU Consuls in Tashkent! For half an hour, and only de facto, but ... but! : D

Prolapsed Disc Treatment
Independence Day abroad
I've always been curious, as well as celebration of national holidays seem far away from the country. Who comes to organized a party? What is the mood there, etc.? Luckily I had the look at this from the kitchen.
On Sunday immediately preceding November 11 in the Catholic Church, often called Polish church, but about which I have written something in post from February , was a commissioned by a mbasadę Mass. for the Homeland. All Catholic priests in Uzbekistan are Polish - the Franciscans. Pole is also a bishop. For this title Mass was held in Polish. The church was filled with the faithful - many came olonia P and of course the representation of the Embassy, \u200b\u200band the Poles, who on the occasion of a variety of other dishes for kept in Tashkent. He did not fail with a hint of irony, the pastor noted, Noting that the damage that mass for the homeland is not in any month, he would then complete the temple of the faithful;) Prior to worship pastor recruited parishioners to actively participate in the Mass, and then the image of Martha and Remek read and second reading, but I came up with prayer of the faithful. Since time immemorial, not "I performed in church - I think the last time it was in elementary school, was so slight stress: P, but I think everything went well;) At least I gathered glowing review: P During the Mass, I noticed several different liturgical elements from those known to me in Poland. First, while few who kneels to raise - people committed to standing with bowed heads. Second, among those going to the communion of many does not accept messages, but merely to adopt a blessing. Thirdly, during the blessing of ending mass virtually no one saying goodbye to the priest's words, "May Almighty God bless you, Father and Son and Holy Spirit." That's what the country is, and habit, but the Universal Church ...
November 11 is a day off from work in Poland. The same applies, of course, Polish diplomatic missions.
Strict bars;) but had to go to the Embassy to refine the occasional speech, which was to be delivered during the reception. The ceremony itself was held at the InterContinental . As hosts we arrived about an hour ahead of time to ensure that the last preparations. The room was large - in front of the entrance door zn ajdował a long table with fruits and sweets. 
Subsequently, he became a beautiful bouquet of flowers in national colors, flags and microphones: Uzbekistan, Poland and Europe. Behind them was a scene in which rozstawili musicians. At the scene were two round tables: for invited ambassadors and wives separately. the other hand, has a screen that flashed a series of photographs "Poland in paintings." On the side walls were two long tables where food was laid out, including the stew prepared by the Polonia:) On both sides of the front door localized shoulders with drinks.
When approached by FFICIAL start time p rzyjęcia: Counsellor with his wife and newly arrived military attaché lined up at the door for greeting guests who have gathered in front of the room, according to with the principle of slight delay and start entering. I along with Anya (trainee) stood back and we received flowers. After entering all the guests,
was waiting for the coming of the main guy, where he was Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Investments and Trade. After his arrival, marked the official opening of the adoption. Counselor with special guest lined up on stage at the flags. Polish national anthem has been played out and the Uzbek Counsel then you gave a speech. Began to adopt appropriate;)
My experience of entertainment is almost none, because apart from COP-owskim opening banquet last year, I was not on any other, but may ę say that this ceremony was very successful. There was a lot of guests, reportedly more than
Czechs, who have had their holiday there two weeks before us and which after all, with such delight compete for everything, always and everywhere;) Musical was probably one of the strongest and parties to adopt - the band on stage made up of professionals - musicians, what is called, performing world music hits. While the selection of songs was very good - not absorbed in an excessive attention and thoughtful fell on the ear. Best dressed around the adoption was our attaché, who had no regular uniform g alowego, but something like a black frako-uniform with a blue vest, white shirt and black bow tie - it looked famously. Adoption as diplomatic acceptance did not last particularly long, but the strongest crossed the unwritten rule that one should not remain for more than two hours - infallible sign that liked)
And I was there with the guests, honey, and drank wine and I had seen and heard on the blog I posted ...
But today
held in the church of F estiwal Polish Song " Polish Highlights twentieth century "Concert organized P olish Cultural Center" Recreation Poland ". The whole event was to dispute the momentum and took part in the musicians from various other national centers. The level of the vocal was much better than I expected. Came the number of spectators who filled the sealed "lower church." It was nice to see and hear, as a non-Poles perform hits from the repertoire of Polish Połomskiego and Mary:) BTW, next weekend we have a gig skaldic: D Of course to choose! : D
Besides ourselves Review:
BTW. Od dawna zabierałem się do obejrzenia filmu K. Zanussiego „ Persona non grata ”, jak zresztą do dziesiątków innych filmów, na co brakuje po prostu czasu. Okazało się jednak, że film ten ma pan Radca i pewnego wieczora przysiedliśmy do niego. Świetny film, zarówno od strony fabuły, jak i gry aktorskiej (Zapasiewicz, Stuhr, Michałkow, Chyra – to chyba sporo tłumaczy) czy muzyki. Poza tym gratka dla każdego, kto miał okazję przyjrzeć się closely the functioning of the diplomatic mission - you can see a lot of situations known to be of reality or the like. I recommend to watch this movie!
from BTW BTW. Mr. Counsellor bought this week extremely interesting book (and not in a kiosk, but one of the best bookshops in Tashkent), Fri " Poland -" watchdog "of the West ." The first chapter, "The Birth Jackal." The last two evenings urozmaicaliśmy a voice reading the chapter on the revolution and the interwar period. Laughter, it was crowded. Author everywhere see job Polish spies. Polish Corps Gen. Dowbór Musnicki is secretive, the Polish army, which was created just to sabotage the struggle and the czar's army at the earliest opportunity to stick a knife in the back the Russians. The best piece is, however, in which the author tries to smuggle the idea that Cheka ( Czriezwyczajnaja Komissija after Borbie s Kontrriewolucyjej and Sabotażom ), the predecessor GPU, OGPU , NKVD and KGB ) Was the kind of agency of POW ( Polish Military Organization ), serving largely Soviet infiltration of government and society, sabotage in the State Councils and the preparation of Polish military intervention against the fatherland of the proletariat. After all, we can not forget that the head of Czerezzwyczajki first became Felix Dzerzhinsky Edmundovich followed by Vyacheslav Rudolfowicz Mienżynski - both of whom were Polish noblemen! Najsprawniejszym agent POW in the USSR But Joseph was Stanisławowicz Unszlicht (known Polrewkomu ). Other aces Polish intelligence is Karlowicz Michael Lewandowski (winner of Azerbaijan) or some Łągwa (not Ich Troje : P). The best cover for the Polish intelligence service, of course, was to be CPP ( Polish Communist Party )! Anyone with a little oil in the head and knows what it was Cheka, Dzerzhinsky was what kind of people and his companions, and so serve CPP not have invented such nonsense, unless it in a blind anti-Polish. Reading all that hard to learn to laugh, but when it comes time to reflect - perhaps many readers of this quasi-scientific work presented in it will take the information as true and complement their knowledge about Poland on the basis of similar libels him, for which after all was not difficult the Russian publishing market, in the Russian press, television or the Internet, start thinking about our country and its inhabitants, as a mortal and has existed since the dawn of a threat.
And with threats you have to fight. And so the national chauvinism ...

It was nice to see and hear, as a non-Poles perform hits from the repertoire of Polish Połomskiego and Mary:) BTW, next weekend we have a gig skaldic: D Of course to choose! : D Besides ourselves Review:
* * *
BTW. Od dawna zabierałem się do obejrzenia filmu K. Zanussiego „ Persona non grata ”, jak zresztą do dziesiątków innych filmów, na co brakuje po prostu czasu. Okazało się jednak, że film ten ma pan Radca i pewnego wieczora przysiedliśmy do niego. Świetny film, zarówno od strony fabuły, jak i gry aktorskiej (Zapasiewicz, Stuhr, Michałkow, Chyra – to chyba sporo tłumaczy) czy muzyki. Poza tym gratka dla każdego, kto miał okazję przyjrzeć się closely the functioning of the diplomatic mission - you can see a lot of situations known to be of reality or the like. I recommend to watch this movie!
from BTW BTW. Mr. Counsellor bought this week extremely interesting book (and not in a kiosk, but one of the best bookshops in Tashkent), Fri " Poland -" watchdog "of the West ." The first chapter, "The Birth Jackal." The last two evenings urozmaicaliśmy a voice reading the chapter on the revolution and the interwar period. Laughter, it was crowded. Author everywhere see job Polish spies. Polish Corps Gen. Dowbór Musnicki is secretive, the Polish army, which was created just to sabotage the struggle and the czar's army at the earliest opportunity to stick a knife in the back the Russians. The best piece is, however, in which the author tries to smuggle the idea that Cheka ( Czriezwyczajnaja Komissija after Borbie s Kontrriewolucyjej and Sabotażom ), the predecessor GPU, OGPU , NKVD and KGB ) Was the kind of agency of POW ( Polish Military Organization ), serving largely Soviet infiltration of government and society, sabotage in the State Councils and the preparation of Polish military intervention against the fatherland of the proletariat. After all, we can not forget that the head of Czerezzwyczajki first became Felix Dzerzhinsky Edmundovich followed by Vyacheslav Rudolfowicz Mienżynski - both of whom were Polish noblemen! Najsprawniejszym agent POW in the USSR But Joseph was Stanisławowicz Unszlicht (known Polrewkomu ). Other aces Polish intelligence is Karlowicz Michael Lewandowski (winner of Azerbaijan) or some Łągwa (not Ich Troje : P). The best cover for the Polish intelligence service, of course, was to be CPP ( Polish Communist Party )! Anyone with a little oil in the head and knows what it was Cheka, Dzerzhinsky was what kind of people and his companions, and so serve CPP not have invented such nonsense, unless it in a blind anti-Polish. Reading all that hard to learn to laugh, but when it comes time to reflect - perhaps many readers of this quasi-scientific work presented in it will take the information as true and complement their knowledge about Poland on the basis of similar libels him, for which after all was not difficult the Russian publishing market, in the Russian press, television or the Internet, start thinking about our country and its inhabitants, as a mortal and has existed since the dawn of a threat.
And with threats you have to fight. And so the national chauvinism ...

What Dress Size Am I From Victoria Secret?
Of all the Mondays like most Dushanbe
title is meaningless, as might be the pierwyj wzgljad issue ... because the Tajik Dushanbe means "Monday" . Nice? Podobywa me up!
As perceptive readers probably had time to work out the wording of the previous post, I managed to, courtesy of the boss, choose to Tajikistan. The trip was associated with the arrival of two Polish delegations from the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Spr and Foreign to Dushanbe. The aim of the first delegation headed by Minister M. Korolec was signing an agreement on economic cooperation and organization of meetings with representatives of Polish business with potential partners tadżyckimi. After 
dstawowym second goal of the visit of the delegation headed by Minister A. Kremer, was the signing of the protocol implementing the agreement on cultural cooperation between RP and RT. The coordination of both visits and the organization has addressed the Embassy of the second (the first organized Promotion Section, Trade and Investment A mbasady (which, however, subject to its only nominally)).

The coordination of both visits and the organization has addressed the Embassy of the second (the first organized Promotion Section, Trade and Investment A mbasady (which, however, subject to its only nominally)). last days before leaving the Embassy proceeded as dictated by the upcoming visit. Sebastian, I went to the secretary of Dushanbe, organizing delegations staying min. Kremer on the spot. Moreover, there was a meeting called. HoMsów or heads of embassies of EU member states. In Tashkent, the EU's 10 states has its place of business: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Latvia , Germany, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, United Kingdom, Italy. Sp otkania course will be organized by the state holding the Presidency of the EU at the moment. As seen above, Sweden does not have its embassy in Uzbekistan, and she holds the presidency in the second half of 2009 In such cases, the local presidency passes to another country - in this case in Poland. The meeting equally has also depended participated modest person, as an even more modest living scrapbook: P
Due to the fact that the vacant Courier apartment temporarily, moved from the residence there for 4 nights (I live OBE cuts from BACK mud in the house). Studio is pretty cool, only problem was the heating off and the nights are starting to chłodnawe. The storage compartment under the seat, I found three newspapers: " divert swarm ", " Policy " and "Newsweek " at the end of August. Not as it is to give the l ekturze press of late. At work in his spare time I give myself the same (giving up reading " Niezawisymoj Gazeta" of years). Pona dto Mrs. Anne loaned me ... Oh, I need to enter a new person in the drama, because apart from Martyn and Olga, then no one will probably know about who you are:) Ms. Anne Advisor is your spouse, who flew to Tashkent, some three weeks ago. Thus, Mrs. Anne lent me the relationship Ferdinand Goetel Fri "Through burning East "with his attempts to escape from the Soviet Turkestan by Iran, Pakistan and India to the newly-created after World War I Polish. The book provides lots of interesting observations and accurate analysis of communism (especially in the initial phase of the installation) and the British variant of colonialism. I recommend to all who have not read!
After przydługawym the outset let me ritum, so a trip to Dushanbe. From Tashkent we left Sunday, 1 November da
ws put a 4-person: Mr. Attorney, Mrs. Anne, Slawik-driver and myself. The route consists of almost one thousand kilometers of roads and places leaves much to be desired. Under the plan the way we visited the Polish cemetery in which buried are those k tors along with Army Gen. Anders vacuum Bowali , but they failed to break through the inhuman land in 1942. Such cemeteries in the territory of Uzbekistan is eleven. As the first visited the cemetery in Szachrisabz on which lies 256 Poles. 
Among buried in mass graves there are women and men, children, adults and the elderly. Cemetery not too shall be adopted a large area. Besides p amiątkowym obelisk there is a plaque with the names of the buried and a few symbols correction of metabolic disorders tombstones. Moreover, in the path are rose bushes, which, according to Neither the words you look it beautifully in the spring. As it turned out, the cemetery has a guardian - who lives near Uzbek who BC ybył as soon as he noticed that someone had visited the cemetery. There were, moreover, the first of the day - n a cemetery we found a complex, fresh flowers and lit candles e - few hours before our cemetery visited by representatives of Polish and Polish priests samarkandzkiej of Samarkand. Mr Councillor, also made a wreath from the Embassy, \u200b\u200band we lit a few candles. Located on southwest of Szachrisabz, Guzar was the second place to bury toward the Poles, on our route. 
It is also the lar larger Polish cemetery in Uzbekistan - buried there specific threads 663 people. cemetery occupies a large area - the graves are symbolic and are arranged in long parallel rows of dozens of earthen walls related eńczonych crosses from both sides. The center is a memorial monument for him, leading to the entry a Path żce are placed plaques with the names of the interred. When find the entrance gate vlepkę Trail Rally General Anders . The obelisk in the cemetery we found some old candles, bring ionych of Polish. Here, too, had put a wreath and lit candles. Because the mot y wind from candles went very hard for us. Fortunately Path mogliś we count on mixture j cal, led by the Uzbek guardian of the cemetery. The total spacing of lights took us nearly an hour, but the effect was very moving - we left when dusk settled and the cemetery was lit candles! 
stub Polish November 1 in Uzbekistan (indeed, may even be better, because "our" candles were made of wax, smoky and ot worth - like the old, good years, rather than closed and oil, which for practical reasons at the expense of some kind of magic atmosphere made up on the graves today.)
most interesting natural episode t race - the desert thalamic southern Uzbekistan, the Government has already conquered the dark. Exceeding sleeping Uzbek-Tajik border it took us nearly an hour, with or Tadżykom was particularly difficult to work because they were deprived of electricity. The Roll clay only in Dushanbe. It turned that hotel, which was to become our head office in the next week or next to the building of the Tajik ego institute of geology, which was given to us to know quite well in August when trying to obtain an export license earth) Seat very cool and comfortable, and besides, for me, as namiociarza, each hotel is a luxury;)
Dushanbe seduced me from the outset. Incredibly k limatyczne city.
This is not a metropolis, but it is entirely urban in nature. Not overwhelming enormity of the buildings, buses and powerful road. You can not call him a call schlu dnym, but still makes an impression very cozy and safe. addition if I called the green city of Tashkent, Dushanbe, it is "przezielone! Lots of trees, lots of park s ... Key b udynki, which include offices of the ministries of localized indices are Rudaki street. Does not represent any great gma s modern szys whether any building poured socrealu squat-style - it is rather two-, three-, four-Classical "palaces." Ba rdzo it is tasty:)
Monday was a day of preparation nadchod to sickness visits. P onad Chodżentu it came from Sebastian. Thanks not him in the evening I managed to leave the city and meet a group of local Poles who have found a different fate Rail in Dushanbe: Magda - volunteer with Save the Children and Polish Center Aid International input (I recommend the blog of Magda ), George - an evaluator of projects with the MFA, Sebastian - With the EBRD and Simon ps. Jaruzelski: P - director of the U.S., who was shooting a documentary about Tajik gastarbeiterach. Fun a team:) In addition, we met in Georgian tavern - Georgia, where you can order a beer Natakhtari (there is no Unfortunately Kazbegi) and other beverages of Georgian origin. BTW - in Dushanbe to Additionally restaurants tion Georgia - Tiflis - cheese ruminants and shall keep żarełko delicious! The hotel, in order to better understand the city, decided to return on foot. Walk this even more than confirmed me in belief that the center of Dushanbe not take too much space, and indeed to all the major attractions can be reached, "the shoe" in a couple-dozen minutes. Large asset! :)
Tuesday night came a delegation from the Ministry, but it was not "our" delegation, and hence this day was primarily preparations for the visit, min. Kreme ra. Of course, I stayed in the remote, strategic odwodach;), hiding in the car while Mr. Attorney and Sebastian are engaged in listed duties. Afternoon spent on the search for restaurants, kt Oreja meeting would be held with invited Minister tadżyckimi policies. So I had a chance to see unless all strive direction beverage sanctuaries Dushanbe: P night udaliśm y on the beer with the Polish group to a small, yet friendly pub, though friendly pub, which was displayed on plasma screen Vive Poland. It turned out that Viva Poland and 4fun.tv are the two most popular channels muses Series of Tajikistan. And indeed - even I could see the hotel Bear push a bar . So it Tajiks have the opportunity to see the achievements of Polish popular music scene ( probably aware of it better than me: P) and the key achievements of the nglish animation over past few years (let lives GIT Production and ZF contraction !: P) to us fundamentals yet joined the group: Anne - trainee with the MFA, which has just started an internship at the Embassy in Tashkent, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Konrad, who arrived with a delegation from the Ministry. It turned out that the pub should be, however, about 22 or 23 (can not remember which was: P) is closed, as this is required by its license to operate. The waiters were really determined to close the plant on a date with someone named m scared en iem observed ali us with a desire make further orders. After several requests upomnienio-forsaken place. Most companies have been waiting the next day a lot of work in relation to arrival next dela tion. exception was against this background, of course I do, and Magda. We went therefore to further explore the city, assisted by the Tajik guinea. Unfortunately did not manage to buy the equivalent of WinKonu or Ostrovina ;) Magda told me about the earthquake, which had wa opportunity to experience recently - was so strong that the plates fall out of cupboards! You have noted that Magda lived then on the seventh floor. I mention this to mentions ć, that I managed to survive at least two earthquakes in Tashkent over my last stay ... Both calmly slept ...: Maybe it's silly, but I would love to experience such clearly felt but completely safe earthquake. I like to feel the power of our matuszki Earth)
Wednesday morning began with curious e. Connect the as if we ate breakfast, the dining room came the minister and sat on the ... our Slawik, and that is my table. He became interested in whether or not what I study what we do in college and even courteously asked me what I think about the directions in which they are ro collapse Polish-Tajik economic relations: P Nice;) The Minister also agreed to my participation in the program stay two points of his delegation, namely the presence of the p odp isaniu Polish-Tajik protocol implementing the agreement współp cultural ork and you rides to Gissaru. Approximately 14 wrapped so the Ministry of Culture, where he signed was s protocol. Celebrations like this, of course, each of us has seen hundreds of times on television, but highly liquid awe was to see it live. Especially that which takes place pr with d same signature, which is a courtesy exchange of views, to assess the existing cooperation with once proposals made by the same ministers. The signature of an exchange of gifts s conference and brief p race and then all of our delegation moved to Gissaru.
About Gissarze I wrote in my post about Tajikistan . On-site minister welcomed the Tajik folk band making y with
section of percussion instruments and wind instruments: trumpet and a little long fife and local wench with bread and salt. basmacką We visited the old fortress, madrassas, known jdujące in a museum and a mosque. After returning to Dushanbe got even e on cloaked in darkness due to lack of electricity Green Bazaar . very climatically stacks looked nuts, dried fruit and half-carcases of pig flame lighted only t so. the evening we met the Polish commandos in a moody Russian pub - device ądzonym of the think and wit. 
S zczególnie toilets were decorated in a way that Groz silt explosive atmospheres laughter that could lead to ... you know what ... This was fun, p raw dziwych and stylized Soviet propaganda posters. In the diner, Rustam joined us and his younger brother - Tajiks, who studied at the Technical University in Poland Silesia. B ERY cool guys! A lot could learn from them about the realities of life in Tajikistan, but it was interesting to learn about their assessment of the various events in Poland, because they are perfectly oriented Wani, what's going on in our Polish pot! In addition, always cheerful j est listen history of foreigners from his student days spent in the UK: D
Thursday was basically a rest day. From the morning we went to the National Museum, which I really liked during the August visit, mainly due to the ongoing climate of the previous era, but with elements m entami modernity. If " inglisz panimajesz ", you'll get an electronic guiding dozen points each, and you can hear at all nienudnych descriptions of exhibits and even small installations. There are flowers in the form of socialist realist paintings on the walls, an interesting chapter on World War II (good posters - including a lot more unknown, speaking about the contribution of the Central Asian republics in the victory to No. mcami), corner of praise for current President of wystawki once agriculture and manufacturing industries Tajikistan anu headed of a luminiowymi, thick-molded pots, and a pair of jeans. Wunderbar! In the afternoon, while went to the diver. We managed to get a few dozen yards farther than in August and the whole was COMPONENTS saw a firewall, but go to the summit we are not allowed.
We were a k just above a powerful transformer station above us ran high-voltage cables. Since electricity until the commotion in the air: not only that you could clearly hear the buzzing electrons circuits, after touching the area surrounding the hydroelectric m etalowej grid turned out that it induced a detectable electric current through the skin - pi ra zy door - a near 30-40V. Unfortunately, the drain channel is not emptied d użych water and pows \u200b\u200b tawał, as in August , a powerful jet and a cloud of spray.

For Dus zanb e returned after dark and the day which was to end a disco, was crowned a student option, or give the prirodu from "Winkie the frog and" ;) cheaper option, healthier and more congenial: D
next day we went on a trip p owrotną.
Our goal was to Samarkand. The road was long and not cared without complications. Social ro Time went by in the game anicy .

I liked the most powerful combine of aluminum smelting in Tursunzadzie (miodzio for connoisseurs: P) and the road through the desert hills in Uzbekistan wo kolicach Bojsun. After reaching our destination, we went to a scheduled meeting not from the Polish community. It was very nice, although much has already died muscular. The next day, before połudn and I visited Samarkand and Tashkent in the afternoon we went to where we were in the evening. And that's it ...

How Much Does A Mecha Doll Cost
Polish golden autumn ...
Well, tomorrow, two weeks go by
my stay in Tashkent. :) Very fast ... gone too fast ... And desired to be afraid of fear that the remaining time can also zlecieć so quickly ...
This is probably the result of that work here spend a lot of time and besides, as a man happy, it's time he flies instantly ... Yes - great to be back in Tashkent ... This in itself inspire optimism for the human life and how to add a nice working atmosphere, excellent living conditions and superior weather outside, what we want more from life - well, maybe events troszku missing ...;)
But after another - on practice at the embassy will not write much, because being in the service of the Brightest obwiązuje mystery to me;) This is obviously a joke, because as I am not a student yet admitted to any secrets. My "position", the assistant head of school. Councillor is a demanding and harsh in assessing the achievements of his subordinates, but did not bother me - quite the opposite:) I live in a lot of work - from early morning until five in the afternoon or even longer.

Well, tomorrow, two weeks go by
my stay in Tashkent. :) Very fast ... gone too fast ... And desired to be afraid of fear that the remaining time can also zlecieć so quickly ... This is probably the result of that work here spend a lot of time and besides, as a man happy, it's time he flies instantly ... Yes - great to be back in Tashkent ... This in itself inspire optimism for the human life and how to add a nice working atmosphere, excellent living conditions and superior weather outside, what we want more from life - well, maybe events troszku missing ...;)
But after another - on practice at the embassy will not write much, because being in the service of the Brightest obwiązuje mystery to me;) This is obviously a joke, because as I am not a student yet admitted to any secrets. My "position", the assistant head of school.

Lost baggage, visit the city-spectrum and quasi-state, stolen phone and night in a brothel ... a standard visit to Transcaucasia
Taszkentczyk last more than two weeks spent in the magical Caucasus - one of the most interesting regions of our planet. The destination was, of course Nagorno-Karabakh, which is about my p ork thesis. Cool happened that at that time on South Caucasus is also chose my odnokursnicy - Anne and Cuba, and so we traveled a time:)
Check full of adventure. The first took place almost immediately after leaving the Polish. I went to Berlin where I had a flight to Yerevan, Riga. After celebrating luggage in, I expected to stand for the substitution aeroplanu. It appeared, however, that the mischief is seriously delayed and that there is no chance I'd had on a cruise Riga - Yerevan. In this situation I was offered accommodation in a hotel in Berlin and a flight the next day in Vienna. I am told also that in order to improve matters, will collect your luggage the next day by a customs office and I will give us a new flight. But the morning when I went to the airport went through my head thought: "There will be eggs, if my luggage, however, flew to Riga." It seemed unlikely, but when the guy from the office of my backpack was not in stock, you already knew that Murphy's law in force: P Lady of Lost & found'u only confirmed my fears, informing sure that luggage is not in Berlin, there is no information whether it is in Riga and I volunteered to lost & found upon arrival to Yerevan. Yes I did, WTP e told me that the luggage is probably arrive in Riga and the next flight. Unfortunately, the next flight was in three days. Well done ... foresaw this scenario before, I had already taken a decision - I'm going to Karabakh wallet and phone in your pocket and carry-on baggage, which had a camera, book, notebook, pen, and taken from an airplane blanket, which I had to serve as a sweatshirt, waterproof jacket and sleeping bag;)
with Anna and Cuba met in the Khor Virap
beautiful in the shadow of Ararat. view this confirmed me in the board with the idea one day that you will stand on the summit, where Noah's Ark moored;) Just days ago we got a quick stop to Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. We got off the main square at the monument to Stepan Szaumiana and suddenly I hear "Privet Lukas - Fuks we came up with Boris, whom I met during the stay last year. It is true that I wrote to him earlier that 
I come to Karabakh, but did not specify deadline and has not had time lived receive an email from him his phone number. Boria took us for coffee and cake to each other at the hut, and in the evening, when laid out up to the monument and Papik Tatika dokarmił us further.
Nock spent at the memorial in a tent (the tent was small, but at least it was warm;)), and the next day went sightseeing. We went to the Museum National Museum and War Victims in CG. I especially recommend this second base, presenting a rich collection of weapons (including many muskets) and other equipment Armenian fedayeen: Beginning
the books of military uniforms by the ridges on the end. In the museum we met Mrs. Director who, after a brief conversation, handed me a book-a guide to the museum, containing a calendar of events of war, exposure, and scans of photos entries in the guestbook. And here the surprise: while reading the book present Cuba noted that found in the mine and Krzycha entry from last year's visit! Cool huh? :)
After
afternoon we went to Szuszy, after visiting a mosque where the top, we were directed to the concert, which took place in the nearby Cultural Center, funded Armenian Diaspora representative, who later visited the Group. Anyway, it was not the only Armenian in JuEsEndEj 
, who was there. Apart from a small group of them were still " endżiosów , "or people from different NGOs and the Armenian from Montana, who came to learn the Armenian language on the spot. After the concert, invited us to a banquet, and arranged for us to stay! concert itself was interesting, with varied music and dancing:)
The next day we visited the rest Szuszy at the head of the mosque and several lower blocks ruined (which is not very pleased Ania;) .) Unfortunately we were unable to visit the museum szuszyńskiego since Sept. 2 is a celebration of independence Karabakh and a day off - on this occasion we got to the next concert, this time dedicated to the 18th anniversary of the secession of Karabakh from Azerbaijan.
the evening przedostaliśmy Karmir Shuki,
where he will meet liśmy owco-bird: that is related Erza, who powierzchno COMPONENTS looked like a sheep, but was moving so rapidly, like a bird : P Nock spent with David - the fireman of the known previous year. His little son - rojber which after a little shyness remembered that wild fun y is his element:) It turned out that my letter with photos from last year came to them:)
Karmir Shuk is the perfect base for Amarasu, where he is buried St. Gregory the Illuminator - that is, a man who made Christianity Ar menii. On the way back we played a match retinal ki with the local guys and we met a group of three persons bratanów , we have demonstrated a device called lbulatorem bu;)
In Next, we went to the famous, numbering over two thousand years, and plantains on the same day we went to Azoch, where there is a cave. It turns out that began to build the road conducting fodder obtained under the same cave in NTRY pledged to her in prison. I fear that soon you can no longer see it in the wild and all its authenticity zanikinie: /
The next day we went to Tug - this village BC ed the war it was inhabited by Armenians and Azerbaijan. There was a lot of mixed families and all lived in harmony. When began the first of the Armenian Stepankercie in early 1988, were followed by clashes in the Asker and the pogrom in Sumgait, the people in the Tug cerebral writhed that this case does not affect them - they been living together for many years and has no nationality meaning for them. Half a year later the village was divided, however, already artificially drawn boundary. And finally ended up on a regular battles between neighbors. Today, half of the homes in Tug lies in ruins. Sad picture, but even there, life returns to normal and sneaks through the back door now eye esność: Karabakh Telecom opened an office with one computer connected to the Internet, there is a telephone booth in the middle of the village, the school was renovated by the Diaspora, etc.
evening postopowaliśmy to Hadrutu to st amtąd move by the Fizuli, Agdam bogdanstef and the Mardakertu. The specific objective was just Agdam. With Hadrutu was hard for us to get out, because she reached us, a bunch of half-burned, half-drunk bratanów who wanted to force us to invite Caiaphas. I took on the negotiations, during when Cuba and Anne pretended that they do not speak Russian, and tried to catch the foot. The result of the negotiations was that brother gave a final peace and also have equipped us in a package cigaretów :)
with Hadrutu took the ladies przemiłymi prosecutor who carried away us to the junction of engaging , where the reflected way to bogdanstef and to the border with Iran on Araksie. There is a police pobawiliśmy equipment, and when dusk fell, we went to pitch a tent and work out a bottle tutovki , that is, the Armenian bimberku pędzonego morwach. Tasty vodka, especially taking into account the voltage mediocre!
Ledwośmy morning they got up and here the route passes Conv ent karabachskich troops - a few dozen trucks loaded with soldiers - were doing a good impression. I started course record - which was one of the reasons for my nickname szpion ;) After one and a half minutes, however, spotted me a policeman and ordered to complete the hand movement record no. then ordered the control of the camera and film had to remove - as, however, has a menu in Polish and nieobytego Electronics policeman, it can be removed without removing;) Unfortunately, the policeman ordered the inspection of documents correctly noting that are on occupied territory. After a half-hour patrol of militiamen arrived, but who also did not quite know what to do with us ... In my ędzyczasie appeared Hadrutu mayor, who promised us the day before transport to Agdamu. Unfortunately did not intend to enter in the parade of militia and were on the spot. Only after some time the officer arrived, a man like Putin and smooth with a delicate verbal persuasion lay off vein us what and how and ordered to return to Hadrutu. Although it was clear that we can not oppose, it is still Putin spoke of his "polite suggestions. In Hadrucie even thanked us for using it. Not left us nothing but try to get to Agdamu from Stepanakert. After some time dostopowaliśmy to the capital and tried to snatch the Agdamu. He stopped, however, the Lord who suggested to us podwózkę Drmbonu, which was already in the plans , so that later. After the furze was immediately apparent that the guy is going to Drmbonu in connection with a factory there, and Base Metals . Not much thinking, I told her uciu read messages and found out we were going along with the deputy director BM! Speaking next was s brought you that Samvel saw "my" video on YT to singing coal miner with mines in Drmbonie. Please, please me how a famous director: P After odwiezieniu us over Sarsang proposed for the next day we tour the factory. Super option! Originally planned to break up under the oak
who okupowaliśmy last year with Krzych, but strong winds blew and moved further away from the edge of the tank. After j akiejś moment came three bratanów . Initially, only talking - one of them had more than a dozen years in times of war and as a teenager he fought Azerbejdżanami. He told on this occasion some harrowing stories, which I will not, however, quoted here. 
Then the guys were importing an additional portion of ETOH-a and delicious shashliks and proceeded to blast the music puszczanej of the car. There were different songs and all but well komponowały with cries of " forcement," Lop "and" Loba ": P
next day began with visits to bratanów , who went to Madagiz. Then came another group of bratanów - this time karabachskich commandos. As we were already "liberated" with their hands, which is not easy in Karabakh, where the sweetening Assumption encountered every second person wants to entertain you (which is indeed the most wonderful in this country, but inside eba to reckon with the fact that all the plans could still hit the damn, option because of bratanami zabalowania always hangs in the air somewhere;)), we went straight to BM. We were shown around the whole works, unfortunately not mine. Besides, the plant itself is shrouded in a veil of mystery - Arsenic, our guide to the question if asked to take pictures, but to do. Besides did not say how many mines and points of ore has been under BM. The plant itself is responsible for finding minerals from the ore . At the beginning it is subjected to fragmentation and then mixed with water in special boilers centrifuged and filtered to separate the metal particles from nieprzedstawiającego greater value resort. At the end of the water is drained and the intermediate is produced, which is a big concentration of minerals suspended in the mass "mud" (well, in any event, something like that): P This goes longer intermediate mill, where the electrolysis process is refined. After visiting the museum it turned out that the "cruise package was a delicious lunch in the cafeteria business, where we spent a pleasant time for pogawędkach. We tried this yet sameg to get out of the Mardakertu, but it was confirmed last year's scenario: A motion was negligible: / We took so by reading books, which Ruda kwitowała his' N uuuuudnoooo! "In the evening we went to bed to Arsenal, who lived near the road. He has shown that arsenic and a friend build a Drmbonie restaurant and mini-hotel. Invited us to dinner and then spent several hours in long conversations about Karabakh, the war, Poland and bigosie;)
next day odpuściliśmy mardakercki the direction that it really was we needed a way to Agdamu and went back on tour Stepanakert - Askeran. Dostopowaliśmy to Askeranu - in total for the first time I visited the ruins of the fortress were and went to dinner. There we met a woman who lived with her husband a few years in Poland - in fact her husband was stationed as a soldier in the Bank of the Soviet Army. She had fond memories of our country and was very happy that we met. She invited us to his home for refreshments and for the night to the plot. Before he took advantage of its offer once again tried to get to Agdamu. Unfortunately, when we were standing at the exit of Askeranu police stopped us. Quite unpleasant Mr. Inspector took us to the police station. Then came a young officer, who wrote the protocol and reviewed our photos. Surprised me most that the guy knew that I Karabchu the second time (officially, I was actually the second time: P) - a sign that the security service running smoothly. It was evident that the peasant is " life," so we explained to him why we want to get into Agdamu that in fact it is not the first time and that none of us szpiony but wschodoznawcy. It was apparent that understood ł our goals and even wanted to help us, but his superiors did not consent to our visit to Agdamie. When we slowed down so we went back to the former resident of Beach. Her husband took us on a plot of land, which is, admittedly, a very picturesque - with a big pond in the middle, where you can safely swim and fish.
morning found that will not easily step down and will make a final attempt to get to Agdamu - minibus or taxi. Doczłapaliśmy to Askeranu and here ... surprise! As I have probably ever written - every year on holiday leaving the East was given to us to meet a head of state. Two posts earlier in Commu Lem ( in the post of Tajikistan ) that this year was nearly a spotkalibyśmy up to four presidents in Nureku. Well, back to Askeranu. We walk the main street and suddenly somehow the crowd swirls before us, a lot of police, the official party. It turns out that the school is opened for the money built the Diaspora. Suddenly he caught my eye registered one NEGO of parked cars, which could be seen on the flag of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and the number 00 1 - at the moment it became clear that somewhere in the crowd must be Saakjan Bako! Unfortunately the police did not let us get any closer than: (In general, we were under their watchful eye, as if we were some sort of dangerous terrorists. They told us to remove the backpack i go back quite far from the car, although it we have wykłócić because ordinary citizens were allowed to stand closer to the Nagorno-Karabakh. It came to us a little wait for the president himself, but we saw it, but unfortunately for a short time. Also met 'our' Mr. officer, who was doing the day before the report. At the sight he smiled - perhaps feeling that you do not odpuściliśmy Agdamu so easily;)
After reaching the Stepanakert we went to the bus station to pokirjać taksiarzy to go to Agdamu. Who if taksiarz but always take the money and zwęszy man, even to the front line, as long as it only have to pay. The more that pr tears after a previous stay straight it was hard to free himself from taksiarzy who offered courses to Agdamu. But it turned out that the Karabakh authorities have to clamp down on this practice - probably a few licenses have been received - and nobody wanted to pick us up without special permission. So the option was less secure, but far cheaper: route d of bogdanstef Mardakertu or riding the Agdam. This option was less secure, as required to get out of minibuses on the beat and move Agdamu walking distance to downtown. There was therefore a real possibility of becoming OF THE spotted by some security officials. Fortunately, the route to bogdanstef, and goes so we drove closer to the center than to Mardakertu did not have to be kilkukilometrowego walk. We got off at the monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War - or so they looked like the ruins, although there were no elements of decoration, at least part of the dates 1941-1945, which might indicate that one hundred percent on the nature of the monument. But I think that we do not confuse a hunch;) Ruszyliśm s hurried toward the mosque. Mosque rather view
with its minaret had a striking impression on my comrades - which is probably not for anyone who knows what Agdam slightest surprise. Unfolded below us a view of what once was a big as the local conditions, because more than 30-thousand, according to witnesses - a thriving, full of oriental charm of the city. Today is a huge sea of \u200b\u200bruins, which captured the wildly growing vegetation. The landscape is dominated by two colors - gray debris, retreating under the pressure green (Christmas, but grafomańśtwo!: P) The city did not suffer as a result of regular warfare, but it has been methodical, planned wyburzeniom after he was captured by Armenians during the summer offensive of 1993. Previously, of course, left it all Azerbaijani citizens. Agdam was treated like a huge warehouse of building materials were used for the reconstruction of the ruined Azerbaijani artillery from Szuszy and n alotami bomb Stepanakert. With Agdamu exported windows, doors, interior, demolished houses to acquire bricks (it just does and today) and even dug up the streets to get the sewer pipe! Wot, recycling! This created the world's largest, next to the Pripyat, ghost town. She fell
idea to get into the industrial area, located closer to the front line, but failed in the nation will and imagination - this would increase the chances of getting into the hands of public safety officers;) We went to so only on a "walk" in the center. We got the strange appearance of a building like a monastery or an old madrasah school - where the first two versions are practically impossible, this latter is probable. Penetrate buildings, however, proved to be impossible, for the sake of the fact that they are currently occupied! On the way back focused on the search for the famous mosaic ki on the wall of a house, which introduces the only colors for the "sea of \u200b\u200bruins" (according to the findings of a mosaic of Cuba before the war was on the building of the Museum of Bread!) And a statue of Prometheus. The two "attractions" I could find and only at the monument of my companions asked me a legitimate question - how do I know that these protruding from the pedestal legs belonged to Prometheus? The question in every respect valid, incontestable arguments on my part no, but since the version does not depart! It was a statue of Prometheus: P
After "passing" Agdamu decided we had nothing else but to withdraw from Karabakh and begin returning home. Another evening we were from Stepanakert - Goris and began stopować to Armenia. It was late, and dusk settled we were not doing it best. When collapsed almost full darkness, we decided to pitch a tent. The last pipe on burtniku and the last wave his hand to a passing Kamaz and ... we're going to Goris! Driver - Albert przemiłym was a man who chose our services ościć at his house in Goris, despite the fact that the whole family will be very uncomfortable because much to the ongoing renovation of the house. We got up at its disposal one double bed and his wife, Alberta - Melanie.
next day was marked by alloying to Yerevan and to find lost things: in my case it was a day from the airport baggage claim, in the case of Cuba, assembled from bratanów lost memory card with photos. Above all, for me it was the day my phone stolen. There was no miracle of technology komórczanej, but the machine served me well and I was bound to it, except that the memory was full of contacts, which I had on the Polish simkarcie (which, fortunately, was not in when the phone zajumania) . In this way, deprived of all my contacts Uzbek: / Blood sudden flood ...
dostopowaliśmy next day to the Georgian border, crossed it and went to Akhalkalaki. The city is important center for the Armenian minority in Georgia and stood in our way, of course, the Georgian Armenians, including their biggest importer - Samuel Khachaturian - grandson (and more great-nephew - if such a word exists), the famous composer Aram Khachaturian.
Samuel, is under the obvious influence of the Great ET OH-and , invited us to his studio art - deals with the reflection of images of the dead on the stones tombstones - and suggested kolacjo-libation. Attractions that we could not refuse! This is what has happened next is hard to explain - rather to say that Samuel and his aide and brother-taxi driver decided to drive us to Achałcyche and then to Batumi (do not know why but in a roundabout way?). 
finally landed in Khashuri in the hotel, which quickly proved to be a roadside public house. Spend the night in a brothel, in the admissions office - priceless: P BTW: Last year Krzychowi and my lady of uncertain konduicie tea set, this year the daughter of Corinth wykosztowały for dinner and the whole event! Fear fear what will happen in years: P
Further, our route ran through Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. From Trabzon traveled only TIR-s, hitting the great drivers - first the Turks, Poles, then superb. I love talking on the CB: P:)
And so it was ...
Taszkentczyk last more than two weeks spent in the magical Caucasus - one of the most interesting regions of our planet. The destination was, of course Nagorno-Karabakh, which is about my p ork thesis. Cool happened that at that time on South Caucasus is also chose my odnokursnicy - Anne and Cuba, and so we traveled a time:)

Sad picture, but even there, life returns to normal and sneaks through the back door now eye esność: Karabakh Telecom opened an office with one computer connected to the Internet, there is a telephone booth in the middle of the village, the school was renovated by the Diaspora, etc.
evening postopowaliśmy to Hadrutu to st amtąd move by the Fizuli, Agdam bogdanstef and the Mardakertu. The specific objective was just Agdam. With Hadrutu was hard for us to get out, because she reached us, a bunch of half-burned, half-drunk bratanów who wanted to force us to invite Caiaphas. I took on the negotiations, during when Cuba and Anne pretended that they do not speak Russian, and tried to catch the foot. The result of the negotiations was that brother gave a final peace and also have equipped us in a package cigaretów :)
with Hadrutu took the ladies przemiłymi prosecutor who carried away us to the junction of engaging , where the reflected way to bogdanstef and to the border with Iran on Araksie. There is a police pobawiliśmy equipment, and when dusk fell, we went to pitch a tent and work out a bottle tutovki , that is, the Armenian bimberku pędzonego morwach. Tasty vodka, especially taking into account the voltage mediocre! Ledwośmy morning they got up and here the route passes Conv ent karabachskich troops - a few dozen trucks loaded with soldiers - were doing a good impression. I started course record - which was one of the reasons for my nickname szpion ;) After one and a half minutes, however, spotted me a policeman and ordered to complete the hand movement record no. then ordered the control of the camera and film had to remove - as, however, has a menu in Polish and nieobytego Electronics policeman, it can be removed without removing;) Unfortunately, the policeman ordered the inspection of documents correctly noting that are on occupied territory. After a half-hour patrol of militiamen arrived, but who also did not quite know what to do with us ... In my ędzyczasie appeared Hadrutu mayor, who promised us the day before transport to Agdamu. Unfortunately did not intend to enter in the parade of militia and were on the spot. Only after some time the officer arrived, a man like Putin and smooth with a delicate verbal persuasion lay off vein us what and how and ordered to return to Hadrutu. Although it was clear that we can not oppose, it is still Putin spoke of his "polite suggestions. In Hadrucie even thanked us for using it. Not left us nothing but try to get to Agdamu from Stepanakert. After some time dostopowaliśmy to the capital and tried to snatch the Agdamu. He stopped, however, the Lord who suggested to us podwózkę Drmbonu, which was already in the plans , so that later. After the furze was immediately apparent that the guy is going to Drmbonu in connection with a factory there, and Base Metals . Not much thinking, I told her uciu read messages and found out we were going along with the deputy director BM! Speaking next was s brought you that Samvel saw "my" video on YT to singing coal miner with mines in Drmbonie. Please, please me how a famous director: P After odwiezieniu us over Sarsang proposed for the next day we tour the factory. Super option! Originally planned to break up under the oak
who okupowaliśmy last year with Krzych, but strong winds blew and moved further away from the edge of the tank. After j akiejś moment came three bratanów . Initially, only talking - one of them had more than a dozen years in times of war and as a teenager he fought Azerbejdżanami. He told on this occasion some harrowing stories, which I will not, however, quoted here. 
Then the guys were importing an additional portion of ETOH-a and delicious shashliks and proceeded to blast the music puszczanej of the car. There were different songs and all but well komponowały with cries of " forcement," Lop "and" Loba ": P next day began with visits to bratanów , who went to Madagiz. Then came another group of bratanów - this time karabachskich commandos. As we were already "liberated" with their hands, which is not easy in Karabakh, where the sweetening Assumption encountered every second person wants to entertain you (which is indeed the most wonderful in this country, but inside eba to reckon with the fact that all the plans could still hit the damn, option because of bratanami zabalowania always hangs in the air somewhere;)), we went straight to BM. We were shown around the whole works, unfortunately not mine. Besides, the plant itself is shrouded in a veil of mystery - Arsenic, our guide to the question if asked to take pictures, but to do. Besides did not say how many mines and points of ore has been under BM. The plant itself is responsible for finding minerals from the ore . At the beginning it is subjected to fragmentation and then mixed with water in special boilers centrifuged and filtered to separate the metal particles from nieprzedstawiającego greater value resort. At the end of the water is drained and the intermediate is produced, which is a big concentration of minerals suspended in the mass "mud" (well, in any event, something like that): P This goes longer intermediate mill, where the electrolysis process is refined. After visiting the museum it turned out that the "cruise package was a delicious lunch in the cafeteria business, where we spent a pleasant time for pogawędkach. We tried this yet sameg to get out of the Mardakertu, but it was confirmed last year's scenario: A motion was negligible: / We took so by reading books, which Ruda kwitowała his' N uuuuudnoooo! "In the evening we went to bed to Arsenal, who lived near the road. He has shown that arsenic and a friend build a Drmbonie restaurant and mini-hotel. Invited us to dinner and then spent several hours in long conversations about Karabakh, the war, Poland and bigosie;)
next day odpuściliśmy mardakercki the direction that it really was we needed a way to Agdamu and went back on tour Stepanakert - Askeran. Dostopowaliśmy to Askeranu - in total for the first time I visited the ruins of the fortress were and went to dinner. There we met a woman who lived with her husband a few years in Poland - in fact her husband was stationed as a soldier in the Bank of the Soviet Army. She had fond memories of our country and was very happy that we met. She invited us to his home for refreshments and for the night to the plot. Before he took advantage of its offer once again tried to get to Agdamu. Unfortunately, when we were standing at the exit of Askeranu police stopped us. Quite unpleasant Mr. Inspector took us to the police station. Then came a young officer, who wrote the protocol and reviewed our photos. Surprised me most that the guy knew that I Karabchu the second time (officially, I was actually the second time: P) - a sign that the security service running smoothly. It was evident that the peasant is " life," so we explained to him why we want to get into Agdamu that in fact it is not the first time and that none of us szpiony but wschodoznawcy. It was apparent that understood ł our goals and even wanted to help us, but his superiors did not consent to our visit to Agdamie. When we slowed down so we went back to the former resident of Beach. Her husband took us on a plot of land, which is, admittedly, a very picturesque - with a big pond in the middle, where you can safely swim and fish.
morning found that will not easily step down and will make a final attempt to get to Agdamu - minibus or taxi. Doczłapaliśmy to Askeranu and here ... surprise! As I have probably ever written - every year on holiday leaving the East was given to us to meet a head of state. Two posts earlier in Commu Lem ( in the post of Tajikistan ) that this year was nearly a spotkalibyśmy up to four presidents in Nureku. Well, back to Askeranu. We walk the main street and suddenly somehow the crowd swirls before us, a lot of police, the official party. It turns out that the school is opened for the money built the Diaspora. Suddenly he caught my eye registered one NEGO of parked cars, which could be seen on the flag of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and the number 00 1 - at the moment it became clear that somewhere in the crowd must be Saakjan Bako! Unfortunately the police did not let us get any closer than: (In general, we were under their watchful eye, as if we were some sort of dangerous terrorists. They told us to remove the backpack i go back quite far from the car, although it we have wykłócić because ordinary citizens were allowed to stand closer to the Nagorno-Karabakh. It came to us a little wait for the president himself, but we saw it, but unfortunately for a short time. Also met 'our' Mr. officer, who was doing the day before the report. At the sight he smiled - perhaps feeling that you do not odpuściliśmy Agdamu so easily;)
After reaching the Stepanakert we went to the bus station to pokirjać taksiarzy to go to Agdamu. Who if taksiarz but always take the money and zwęszy man, even to the front line, as long as it only have to pay. The more that pr tears after a previous stay straight it was hard to free himself from taksiarzy who offered courses to Agdamu. But it turned out that the Karabakh authorities have to clamp down on this practice - probably a few licenses have been received - and nobody wanted to pick us up without special permission. So the option was less secure, but far cheaper: route d of bogdanstef Mardakertu or riding the Agdam. This option was less secure, as required to get out of minibuses on the beat and move Agdamu walking distance to downtown. There was therefore a real possibility of becoming OF THE spotted by some security officials. Fortunately, the route to bogdanstef, and goes so we drove closer to the center than to Mardakertu did not have to be kilkukilometrowego walk. We got off at the monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War - or so they looked like the ruins, although there were no elements of decoration, at least part of the dates 1941-1945, which might indicate that one hundred percent on the nature of the monument. But I think that we do not confuse a hunch;) Ruszyliśm s hurried toward the mosque. Mosque rather view
with its minaret had a striking impression on my comrades - which is probably not for anyone who knows what Agdam slightest surprise. Unfolded below us a view of what once was a big as the local conditions, because more than 30-thousand, according to witnesses - a thriving, full of oriental charm of the city. Today is a huge sea of \u200b\u200bruins, which captured the wildly growing vegetation. The landscape is dominated by two colors - gray debris, retreating under the pressure green (Christmas, but grafomańśtwo!: P) The city did not suffer as a result of regular warfare, but it has been methodical, planned wyburzeniom after he was captured by Armenians during the summer offensive of 1993. Previously, of course, left it all Azerbaijani citizens. Agdam was treated like a huge warehouse of building materials were used for the reconstruction of the ruined Azerbaijani artillery from Szuszy and n alotami bomb Stepanakert. With Agdamu exported windows, doors, interior, demolished houses to acquire bricks (it just does and today) and even dug up the streets to get the sewer pipe! Wot, recycling! This created the world's largest, next to the Pripyat, ghost town. She fell idea to get into the industrial area, located closer to the front line, but failed in the nation will and imagination - this would increase the chances of getting into the hands of public safety officers;) We went to so only on a "walk" in the center. We got the strange appearance of a building like a monastery or an old madrasah school - where the first two versions are practically impossible, this latter is probable. Penetrate buildings, however, proved to be impossible, for the sake of the fact that they are currently occupied! On the way back focused on the search for the famous mosaic ki on the wall of a house, which introduces the only colors for the "sea of \u200b\u200bruins" (according to the findings of a mosaic of Cuba before the war was on the building of the Museum of Bread!) And a statue of Prometheus. The two "attractions" I could find and only at the monument of my companions asked me a legitimate question - how do I know that these protruding from the pedestal legs belonged to Prometheus? The question in every respect valid, incontestable arguments on my part no, but since the version does not depart! It was a statue of Prometheus: P
After "passing" Agdamu decided we had nothing else but to withdraw from Karabakh and begin returning home. Another evening we were from Stepanakert - Goris and began stopować to Armenia. It was late, and dusk settled we were not doing it best. When collapsed almost full darkness, we decided to pitch a tent. The last pipe on burtniku and the last wave his hand to a passing Kamaz and ... we're going to Goris! Driver - Albert przemiłym was a man who chose our services ościć at his house in Goris, despite the fact that the whole family will be very uncomfortable because much to the ongoing renovation of the house. We got up at its disposal one double bed and his wife, Alberta - Melanie.
next day was marked by alloying to Yerevan and to find lost things: in my case it was a day from the airport baggage claim, in the case of Cuba, assembled from bratanów lost memory card with photos. Above all, for me it was the day my phone stolen. There was no miracle of technology komórczanej, but the machine served me well and I was bound to it, except that the memory was full of contacts, which I had on the Polish simkarcie (which, fortunately, was not in when the phone zajumania) . In this way, deprived of all my contacts Uzbek: / Blood sudden flood ...
dostopowaliśmy next day to the Georgian border, crossed it and went to Akhalkalaki. The city is important center for the Armenian minority in Georgia and stood in our way, of course, the Georgian Armenians, including their biggest importer - Samuel Khachaturian - grandson (and more great-nephew - if such a word exists), the famous composer Aram Khachaturian.
Samuel, is under the obvious influence of the Great ET OH-and , invited us to his studio art - deals with the reflection of images of the dead on the stones tombstones - and suggested kolacjo-libation. Attractions that we could not refuse! This is what has happened next is hard to explain - rather to say that Samuel and his aide and brother-taxi driver decided to drive us to Achałcyche and then to Batumi (do not know why but in a roundabout way?). 
finally landed in Khashuri in the hotel, which quickly proved to be a roadside public house. Spend the night in a brothel, in the admissions office - priceless: P BTW: Last year Krzychowi and my lady of uncertain konduicie tea set, this year the daughter of Corinth wykosztowały for dinner and the whole event! Fear fear what will happen in years: P Further, our route ran through Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. From Trabzon traveled only TIR-s, hitting the great drivers - first the Turks, Poles, then superb. I love talking on the CB: P:)
And so it was ...
