Beirut to Baku, or Can you spell Azerbaijan?

We've done it. Signed on with the International School of Azerbaijan for next year. Goodbye Beirut.

A huge pay raise made the choice a lot easier. We love crazy Beirut, and K had been offered an ESL teaching position here. But at Baku (photo at right--looks a lot like Beirut!), T alone will make what he and K together would make in Beirut. And K can hopefully find some ESL work in Baku. The school also offers better benefits, like yearly R&R to London--how civillised!




On the Caspian Sea and within handy travel distance of Turkey, the "Stans" , all of Asia and even Europe (same cost to fly there as from Beirut), it is an intriguing place!
