Day 2 in Baku
July 15, 2010July 15, 2010 6 comments Travel Travel

Good Morning and Hello,
Day 2 from Baku,

How about a little culture today?

The city of Baku and the country of Azerbaijan is a society that is thriving off of the oil industry.  Many countries from around the world, including USA, Russia, and China are investing a lot of money into this region because of the oil riches located here, because of that Azerbaijan is rebuilding it's infastructure.  The world championships were in Baku in 2007 and since that short time ago the atmosphere in Baku is completely different.  Azerbaijan now is a country with a lot if national pride and you can see it and feel it.

Baku is the capital city of Azerbaijan, with a population of about 4 million and 700,000 of those are refugees from the surrounding area.  Azerbaijan, like I said is a country jstarting to find itself.

So, I heard an interesting tidbit, you can eat the fish in the waters of this region if you catch it in a month that has an "R" in it, if it doesn't have an "R" the waters are too warm and the fish are not good eating.  No fish for me!

The US Dollar is worth about .80 Manat, (AZE Currency)

The language spoken is Azerbaijany, but because of Russian influence and control before the soviet break up in 1991, many of the population understands Russian but it is not the main language.

We finished the day yesterday with a great workout on the mats.  It is hot and humid and the mats were like a a slip and slide.  It could call for an interesting competition.

Now we are getting ready for another mat workout this morning.  We will get some live wrestling and then start to focus on feeling Good and getting our weights in line for tomorrow.

Stephany Lee arrives tonight, she had a little problem, and is arriving a couple days late but in time for the competition.  She keeps it interesting for us.

Over and out!

Coach Steiner
