Ladies and Gentlemen of Azerbaijan
People in Azerbaijan are the most miserable I have ever come across in all my travels, not many of them wanted a lens in their face LOL. Besides that not many even wanted to engage without a lens on show.
These are the colourful ones

I was looking the wrong way, she walked past a fresh floral scent wafted in the air, the satisfying sound of heels on stone. The curve of her leather encased hips sashaying as she walked.
Sorry I digress, probably got a face like a half chewed toffee anyways.
Looks like he lost a dollar and found a dime
Mind you if I was having to sweep the streets in the heat of the day I would scowl too

Oh, THREE cats in one post of yours? Do you feel okay? 😁
Just a joke, I hope you are doing well, greetings 😉👋
LOL yes all good here thanks, hope you are all ok too 👍
I think Georgians and Azeris have more in common than they do with their other neighbours. One of the main reasons I left Georgia was for a similar reason: everyone was just utterly miserable. You'd walk into a shop and say hello or ask if they have something and they'll blank you. Just scrolling through tiktok instead. Or people would would push in front of you in lines without a fuck given. It was such an odd atmosphere which felt like all societal foundations were thrown out of the window. I still met the odd person that was nice, and many of them would also point out these problems and state how much they hated it and wanted to leave because of it.
One of the largest cafe chains in Georgia had every receipt that would feature a text along the lines of "20% of Georgia is occupied by Russia." That sort of atmosphere just felt really off. Just full of misery and hate. Streets, even their oldest buildings 100+ years old, were riddled with graffiti displaying more hate. Saying fuck X nationality, or swastikas and all sorts of nonsense.
What made Georgia more tolerable were the Russians which weren't so cold. They had fun cafes and spaces for events which gave the place a bit more life to it. But it still wasn't enough to stick around. From my experience with Turks and Armenians, the two are much kinder, more open and welcoming. I've still had the odd encounter, that's inevitable. But the majority have been lovely.
Now that is weird! I got on well with people I met In Georgia, and Armenia
You almost lost your way with your initial text about that blonde girl but you got back on track somehow. 🙃

LOL, yup, ships that pass in the night
Haha @grindle, you waxed lyrical about the lady in the leather; not much to say about the rest😉
Lovely character photos as always!
