I was the main suspect in a robbery in Baku a few days before Wales played away to Georgia a few years ago. I was innocent, of course - and I was eventually cleared after the Police discovered from some locals that the victim (a German-speaking Palestinian) had been rolled by some Russians after he met them in a bar. He didn't spill the beans himself as he was a Muslim and didn't want it to be known, particularly by his family, that he was frequenting bars and drinking alcohol. I had merely stayed in the same B&B overnight.
A few days later I gave myself a challenge to hitch into Armenia (where there are few cars on the road) from Georgia and without Armenian currency, which was fun.
And the Meetup hostess in Georgia, a poor, elderly lady with whom I did not share a common language, could see me in bed from her kitchen sink.
It was an interesting trip all round.
