1. My hair caught on fire. Literally. I was trying to take myself out on a date like I do sometimes in the States to feel loved. I was sitting at a booth and the ledge behind me was clustered with tealights without a candle holder. Said ledge's height was right about where a hood from a jacket would fall on your back. Factor in my long hair. yeaaaaaah. that's a no good.
2. I saw the equivalent of a rich girl pet/accessory. Think Paris Hilton with her little chihuahua that is her accessory. This affluent Azeri girl was holding her pet rabbit under a hand dryer at McDonalds in Baku. It was a serious...really? what is going on moment for me
3. Snickers cake + veggie lasagna=happy PCVs in Barda
4. Forcing open of a sports bar in Baku for Superbowl watching at 3 a.m. local time...
5. being hit in the face by a tube of polenta sent from America
6. bacon flavored chips!
7. getting some serious ideas about community projects and development
8. my sitemate being tracked down and told that his Azeri was bad in comparison to the other 2 foreign girls with him, HILARIOUS!
9. being bumped to the front of the "line" at the ATM! OMG!
that's all for now really. Even 8 months after the fact, I still wake up some days and find it hard to believe I'm in Azerbaijan.
