    Past couple of days...4 countries in 2 days.
    • Enjoying my last day in Taskent, walking around the city still wearing a T-shirt.
    • Arriving at Moscow and leaving airport (getting off the plane, passing the passport control for diplomats and customs) within 10 minutes. Never happened before.
    • Moscow was cold with some snow. Had a feast with my Moscow family. Drove through morning and night Moscow. Beautiful.
    • On the way back to the Sheremetyevo Airport we have encountered 4 car accidents, 4 traffic jams, and almost got ourselves into a crash.
    • I was almost late for my flight but managed to carry 2 items of Mary Kay collection (a gift from a friend) in my carry-on. When the Russian lady asked me what was in my bag I said, 'It's a Mary Kay gift from my Moscow friend. I know it's liquid but my luggage is checked-in all the way to Riga.' She said, 'Fine.' and let me have it. I have no idea how I managed to go through a second check without throwing my spa collection into the trash can.
    • Arriving at Riga at night hoping to catch a night bus to Klaipeda.
    • Spending the night on the bus station with some homeless people thinking I could easily turn into one.
    • Finally Klaipeda, cold and snowy.
