Bits & Pieces

 

Here are a few bits and pieces I have been given / collected along my travels

{bits}A signed 2 Krooni note – from Rebz and Antu two guys I met in a bar in Parnau, Estonia
{bits’nThe back of the 2 krooni note.
{bits’nLeo Lerr – a friend of Rebz – when I told them that I would put a copy of the note on the web Leo asked if I could put a picture of him on the web, as he wanted to get a woman. So here he is ladies!
{bits’nThis is the lady who ran the shop 40km south of St Persburg, outside which I had vodka (pratically) forced down my throat. I took a photo of the group which you can see elsewhere on the site – but this lady wanted e to have a better photo of her!
{bits’nThe back of the photo – I have no idea what it says – if anyone wants to enlighten me!
{bits’n When I was teaching English in Russia I told my students each day what we would cover the next day – so on the day we covered the weather – Nadya brought in this example of her in a Siberian Winter!
{bits’n I got stuck in the Artic Circle at Igarka Airport for a while – here is a picture of the airport given to me by the Police Major there. It is from 1979 and not much has changed except it is rundown now!
{bits’nOn the back of the photo he wrote some text to vouch for me if I should need it – all with an official stamp!
{bits’nOur Police Major was a bit of an artist – so here is a police sketch of a suspect character seen in Igarka on the day! I was wearing my ‘Reel Big Fish’ t-shirt on the day hence he ‘Reel Man’ text!
