It is very doubtful if I would go back there. Anyway, I thought you might like to read this blog I published on another forum. Back in November 2010 and just about a couple of weeks of arriving in Baku, Azerbaijan, I wrote my first blog, Men in ... Read More

Well my experience of Azerbaijan, after two years living in Baku, was that most Azeris do not speak English. Luckily, my wife does, and when she came out to join me it made a big difference. But it was frustrating from time to time. Read More
