There's a site run by some well-travelled Russian photo-blogger that I once ended up on thanks to a link someone posted on HN. Good stuff. Takes a while to get used to the author's obsession with traffic signs and trash cans, but it's good. Here's part one of his trip to this region: http://tema.ru/eng/travel/yakutetnoexp-1/ http://tema.ru/eng/travel/yakutetnoexp-1/ The site's hard to navigate. You may have to hit "english" at the top right (assuming you don't want the Russian version) since it may not retain language state through links. The "veni, vidi" link on the top left will take you back to the master list, so you can find the other parts of the trip if you're interested. Photos with little squares on the top right are actually little galleries. Click the other squares to change the image. Unrelated insights gained from the site: * The smaller touristy Pacific islands are typically covered in garbage. * Former British colonies are usually OK, former French colonies are usually awful. * Ethiopia looks like a pretty cool place to visit.
