Welcome to the series on Exploring Unusual Places.
In May 2014, I asked the subscribers of Blue Jay Blog which countries they would like me to visit over the summer. They picked Russia, Japan, Nigeria, Iraq, and Greenland. Thus, I traveled to each of these countries for about two weeks each and wrote a detailed post about my experiences and discoveries in each place. Below are the links to all seven posts. Enjoy!
