Building Boom In Baku

The Azerbaijan economy is growing so fast at the moment there is a building boom going on, and we are part of it. The Baku skyline is peppered with really tall apartment blocks, just like the one we live in, and more are being built all the time.

In our apartment, the glass bottles which get dropped into the trash-chute by the residents above us reach terminal velocity by the time they get to our level, the level at which (for the first time) they normally bounce off the side-walls of the chute. When this happens, our building booms.
