змеи на самолете (emei na samolote) - snakes on a plane

I've been following this little movie and some of its fan creations from abroad for awhile now. It opens tomorrow in the states and this is probably the first time that I would much prefer to be home than in Russia, just to see this quality film. Better be showing when I get back.

So I know I'm still terrible at updating. And all my pics aren't up from Turkey even though the trip was almost a month ago. But our home internet is really slow! I know, I know, you're saying: "but Beto, why don't you update at work where you have broadband?" Well, the answer to that question is that I am the hardest-working intern that ever got payed terrible wages and I don't have time for such trivialities. That or I'm just getting lazy with the blog. Most likely the latter.

A rough one in work this morning thanks to a little going away party for our British buddy Jamie who is taking time out to head back to the big island and participate in some "army games" as he puts it. Since he won't be drinking for the next three months, he tried to stick it all in last night and invited me to join in. Oy. Oh man, I can't even oy without my head hurting.

The best part of the shop - old men playing backgammon and enjoying the free air conditioning.

Dolmush: like a marshutka but even more convenient. You can can get picked up or dropped off wherever you want!

A quick stroll out to the pier reveals a beatiful nighttime view.

And from the outside. A bad ass joing with four floors of yummy music to choose from.

No these aren't actual people dancing behind cages. They are pained figures and an empty dance floor from the club that we got duped into visiting by the Hotel's "animation staff." We promptly headed to the Alanya city center.
