Do f*cking Anglo-Saxons never tire of the end of Frenchdom genre? (which always just sounds like pure jealousy mostly). I spent four of the most heady, sensuous, verbally stimulating and intelligent, beautiful months of my life in and around Albi and Toulouse. I’ll take Albi over, say, Colchester any day.

FROM BOSNIA TO BENGAL -- The purpose of this blog
Me, I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako." I'm Greek (Roman really, but when I say that in English some five people in the world today understand what I'm talking about, so I use "Greek" for shorthand). I'm from New York. I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
See "JADDE: THE MISSION AND STARTING OFF, the blog's first entry below, and JADDE: THE NAME OF THIS BLOG for my general agenda:
"What I hope this blog accomplishes is to create even the tiniest amount of common consciousness among readers from the parts of the world in question."
