Ah, Ya ponimayo! I actually have a tremendous amount of pictures, some of them bring back things I would rather forget though! We spent most of the time completely in the wilderness miles and miles away from anything. The closest "town" Ust' Kuyga was extremely small and it was ~ 30 miles away one we were done hiking/boating/tractoring our way through the tundra. The mosquito populations are totally out of control there by the way. It would have been difficult to breathe for how saturated the air was with mosquitoes.

i can't speak russian. i simply know how to say "HI MAMA, YES I ATE, ALOT, YES, YES, NO I DON'T NEED BRANDY, THANKYOU"



it's a great language but i find it very hard. lithuanian is easier because i hear it all the time. i would recommend just watching loads of russian movies withouth subtitles to get the rhythm, then it's easier to learn what you just saw.

i can't imagine how beautiful the things you have seen are. got photos?

pachimu is why (literally "done of what" i think) payetamu is therefore. patamushta is because.

ja nigavariu pa russky patamushta ja v litvie. i think that's right!

Haha, I can pick up most of that, but I'm missing a couple of those words from my vocabulary. I'm still new to the language and have only the basics..
Here's what I think you said:
You don't (something) speak russian (perhaps don't speak much russian) You only understand some words: hello, mom, ??, very, yes, yes, no (something), thanks

I'm also not sure what Pachymu is, but presumably that asks why I went to Yakutsk?

I was there for about a month doing research near Ust' Kuyga. It will be Alaska next summer, to the Bendeleben mountains...

Some one marked this video dead, so I updated the video... with the Intro from Terrahawks. Hope it was close to the original video you posted.

"Terrahawks is a Gerry Anderson puppet and model based animation set in the year 2020. Mars has been invaded and the Earth is under threat. A small but well equipped force known as the "Terrahawks" has been prepared on Earth to defend the planet from the aggressors. "

yeah that crap bothers me too. Without a drug war cops would be terribly bored. And what the hell is up with the freaking moral lessons cops love to preach when they're arresting some drunk, coked up, slobbering druggy meth-head. People feel bad they got caught, not wether it was right or wrong!

and that "somebody call the prison and tell them to make another bed and start cooking" part really cracked me up :-D Those cops just love their jobs dont they?

In reply to this comment by MINK:
I just HATE the way the cops get excited about finding some dude's personal shit.

"WOOHHOO!!!! a CRIME! i can't WAIT to pay more taxes to take THIS guy off the streets! Now i can let my daughter play outside the house again! Somebody call the prison and tell them to make another bed and start cooking! WOOHOOO!"

MarineGunrock says...

Well, to me, it's all about the way that's it's written.

129908 is 12 September, 2008. The same goes for 12.9.08

But when using a slash, like 9/12/08, it's September 9, 2008.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
nice one for giving me the opportunity to rant about the retarded way americans insist on writing the date

you didn't "correct" the date format, you americanised it. I like the symbolism, american marine tells the world how to write dates, and thinks he's doing an educational favour.

just kidding around, it's obviously not earth shatteringly important. but seriously, month, THEN day, THEN year?


In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
Wait - what's your pet hate? People correcting the way dates are written or people that write dates like that?

because you say "Nice one" with a smile, and at the same time, downvote my comment.... I'm lost...

In reply to this comment by MINK:
heads up! i replied...

you just made my day! hit one of my pedantic pet hates right on the button!
nice one


In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
4/9/2008 = April 9, 2008
9/4/2008= September 2, 2008

hence "9/11"
