I look forward to reading your blog about it! :)<br /><br />@ Kim: Thank you for visiting and for your topics...I was after an actual question, to be honest, so I could give an answer to a specific thing. So far most of you guys sent me interesting topics (and I might use them for this blog later) but not many questions as scaryazerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209595384194222929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-60924125619891831832009-09-22T09:31:49.426-07:002009-09-22T09:31:49.426-07:00Sevda...I am not sure this is 100% correct.

I try to see some of my Baku friends here, but because we are not a 100% Azeri family, we have other friends too. :) Also, when it comes to Indians and some other nationalities, etc here, in the UK they tend to immigrate in scaryazerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209595384194222929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-30466807808950515962009-09-22T04:10:53.178-07:002009-09-22T04:10:53.178-07:00As an American expat living here in Baku, I have l...As an American expat living here in Baku, I have loved reading your blog.

It's a lot of work but you will definetely have a lot of fans, it's an interesting column indeed.<br />One thing that came in mind, in fact, we were talking to my sister about it a few days ago, is that Azeris in the West don't tend to be excited about meeting other Azeris or hang out together a lot.

Yet when it comes to matchmaking many seem fatalistic about their choices. <br /><br />One young woman recently told her parents she wouldn't marry a man that they had proposed for her.
