Alexei, congratulations on the launch of your Russian-language blog. Unfortunately the photographer who did the book covered just Central Asia and some areas around St. Petersburg. I guess the Abkhazia bus stops remain as a future photo project for someone...

Joy, I'm glad to be of help - can't think of anything else similar, but the internet is vast. Actually, now that I think about it, this book might be similarly interesting. I am planning to get it for myself but haven't done so yet.

Of course, now there's the fact that his birthday is December 25th, so if you've got any other product plugs for similarly off-the-wall things, do share.

Remember I told you about going to Abkhazia? There are some really nice and lovely bus stops here and there (certainly, from the Soviet times). I wonder if there are any in the book you've written about.

BTW. Welcome to my new blog - Записки адвоката - http://zapiskiadvokata.blogspot.com/
It's in Russian, but I'm sure it's not a problem for you.

PS. How's the life inside of a big London law firm?
