Wow Thanks for all the extensive info

I already suffered from a food poisoning in Tajikistan (russian canned fish) and since then I stay FAR away from any fish products. Thanks for all the warnings.
Do they by any chance sell something called ´gazly suv'? It is basically a mixture of syrup with carbonized water and it´s cheap and tastes great
What is the bread called? Most of the time I could only find the russian bread but it looks like a brick and it tastes like one, too
Hmmm, wine, I normaly don´t drink and drive but a bottle in the evening is a nice thing to have

Cycling in old clothes is something I like, too as it keeps the beggars away and the prices in the stores (Magazin?) are way lower when dressed that way. And it protects my skin against the blazing sun, mosquitos and ticks.
Ticks are also a problem here in germany and I normaly wear long trousers and sleeves to keep those critters away

Cycle the world,
Marc
