Azerbai-journal #2

There is perhaps no better cross-cultural activity than PhotoShop. No matter where you're from, it's still funny to see your head grafted onto someone else's body. This is precisely what I have been doing the past few days as a way to entertain my host family. What started out as a recreational pastime has now turned into a full time job. "Jeremy, I don't like the guy in this picture, can you take him out on your computer?" or "Jeremy I don't like my smile in this picture… can you fix it?" Since most of the undesired photos are in hard copy format, I've ended up taking pictures of pictures and then going from there.

I'm glad to say I'll be retiring from this position in a few weeks, though I have to say I've gotten pretty good.
