Tagged!

I was tagged by The Western Confucian.

The rules are:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

If you come to Vladivostok, let me know. It's a ferry boat away from where I live, and I have yet to visit.


I'm curious about life in Windhoek. What's it like there?

Steve Hayes said...

Well, when we win the Lotto, maybe!

Windhoek is a kind of small-town big city -- its quite small, but it's the capital, so shops have most goods available. Nice climate, though a bit dry (not good for lush gardens, if that's what you lie). Not too hot, not too cold. In a basin surrounded by mountains. Best time of the year is autumn (around now).

Do you have info about your dissertation posted somewhere?

The Vladivostok-St. Petersburg trip looks like a fascinating odyssey. You'll want to change your motor oil a few times along the way.

I've responded to your comment on my blog, and you've been tagged here.
