I saw in 2016 absolutely smashed, in a bar in Taiwan, chatting with a group of guys from a Kazakh circus troupe and impressing them with my limited Russian and my (apparently) humorous use of Russian swear words. That particular night ended in a hearty discussion with a guy named Steve – an awesome Kiwi bloke …

Albania was by far the craziest country on our European road-trip to drive in. Cars seemed to have complete disregard for anything in the way of driving etiquette. At one point, whilst en route to Tirana, we witnessed a group of vehicles defy the traffic jam which had developed and opt to drive around a roundabout the …
