The UK Embassy in Baku put out a Novruz "Earth Tuesday" video this week featuring Ambassador @FergusAuldFCDO promoting a recent law aiming to ban the use of single-use plastics. He impressed Azerbaijanis by speaking entirely in their language.

@DailyRobbins Another Roadside Attraction. Early 1990s. I checked out of the hostel in Chengdu, realised I'd left behind my favourite sarong/towel/sheet. On returning it was not to be found but someone else had left ARA behind. A very fair swap. That soon led me to Jitterbug Perfume paradise.

Simon Stylites was a 5th century Christian mystic, later celebrated by Tennyson for having spent decades meditating on the top of a pillar. In Katskhi, Georgia, you’ll find a chapel in the sky, refashioned for latter-day Stylites.

#Nursultan, #Kazakhstan been called a "space station, marooned in an ungraspable expanse of level steppe," by @RowanMoore.
