I like traveling quite a lot and hence am quite fond of blogs describing or photographing travel around the world.
Amanda Butler of Crescat Sententia is blogging about her experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kazakhstan. Her descriptions make me want to plan my Central Asian trip soon.
Brian Ulrich talks about the standard greeting in Kazakhstan being the same as in Morocco. That fact is not surprising because the greeting is “Assalam o Alaikum” (السلام علیکم), the standard Islamic greeting. What was more interesting to me was the Kazakh words which are familiar to me because of their use in Urdu. For example, “dastarhan” (دسترخوان) and “dukan” (دکان).
Brian spent the last couple of months in Morocco. He wrote quite good descriptions of his travels there. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have category archives, but his weekly archives starting in late May should cover his posts about Morocco.
You should definitely read both Amanda’s and Brian’s posts. One thing missing in their travel blogging though is photography. They should post some pictures of Kazakhstan and Morocco.
And the Head Heeb is back from vacation in Australia and is posting about the country.
