Help Georgia by Donating 5$ for Sugar Aid Relief Fund

There is currently an economic turmoil in Georgia. While the local currency Lari (GEL) is nose-diving, food prices are skyrocketing and people are having hard time to buy even the most essential, basic food ingredients such as sugar, pasta, and cooking oil.

Stores are increasing prices to exploit the situation and government has counteracted by considering price control and planning to purchase a supply of 5,000 tons of sugar, 500 tons of pasta and 1,500,000 liters of cooking oil. Until then, there is an urgent need for immediate action to help the most vulnerable.

Sugar is the most important of the planned ingredients as it is a highly addictive food substance and consumed in large quantities in Georgia. To ease up the withdrawal symptoms, there is an urgent need to give sugar to those who can't afford it anymore. You can participate in the Sugar Aid Relief program by donating money for free sugar doses using your credit card or with WebMoney. All the donations are tax deductible in Georgia.

Nope, sorry. That does not help the sugar junkies who are currently the most vulnerable here. Please share this plea!

Tips for Travelling and Surviving in the Balkans as a Vegan

Image
Eating in local restaurants in the Balkans can be a bore as there are only a couple of vegan options available: mixed salad, french fries and Italian pasta with aglio and olio. Even rice is often cooked in broth. However, there is fresh produce available almost throughout the year, from early spring to late fall. Strawberries, cherries, apricots, nectarines, peaches, apples, pears, and plums abound, and vegetables are tasty. Beans and lentils are also part of local diet as well as walnuts and hazelnuts.

Looking For All-You-Can-Eat Buffets in Santo Domingo

Image
We love to go to buffet restaurants once in a while to enjoy variety. In the Dominican Republic finding one was not easy. Most restaurants offer a buffet-like selection of dishes during the lunch time, but you choose what you want to eat and pay accordingly, while fixed price all-you-can-eat alternatives are missing. Fortunately, international hotels serve buffet breakfasts in all big cities in the world, and Santo Domingo was not an exception.

Finn-Savotta Challenge: The Conclusion

Image
We have been travelling more than five years with our new Finn-Savotta backpacks, Savotta LJK12 and Savotta 906, in dozens of countries all over the world . The backpacks are still in one piece and in usable condition. There are some scratches and bumps in the aluminium structure and the fabric has worn out a bit here and there but nothing major. On the other hand, there were some minor usability challenges.

Temples of Angkor, Cambodia

Image
The absolute highlight of our travels in South-East Asia has been meeting our friends. First Martijn and Uswa came to see us in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and now Bill and Betty in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Bill and Betty wanted to see the famous temple area of Angkor so we joined the caravan and headed to Siem Reap. The bus ride was slow even though the roads were pretty good. The 225-kilometre-ride took seven hours.

Boycott Against Air Europa

Boycott against Air Europa. They trashed Päivi´s backpack and promised refund, but getting it took a year and way too much trouble. Päivi´s backpack received a bit too rough treatment on our flight with Air Europa one year ago, and it broke down. The company promised to refund the damage, as it finally did. But getting the money required dozens of emails, phone calls, and facsimiles. We even had to turn to the European Consumer centre. Here’s the full story why we boycott Air Europa. Our flight was from Salvador, Brazil to Madrid, Spain. When we noticed that Päivi´s backpack had trashed, we filed a baggage claim report right away at Barajas airport. First, we were told to get a replacement bag in Madrid, but unfortunately the luggage shop that Air Europa used, did not have backpacks. Next, we were told to buy a new one from Finland where we were going, and to send the receipt to Air Europa’s Luggage service for refunding.
