Private Notes
First on Simon Reeve's tour are Somaliland, Transdneistria in the Black Sea region and Taiwan. Along the way, he gets drunk with a president, meets a nationalistic boy band and buys a Somali diplomatic passport. He sees mass graves, hi-tech weaponry and is arrested trying to film a military base.
South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Abkhazia are on the itinerary as Simon Reeve continues his hazardous tour of breakaway states in the Caucasus region. He uncovers 30,000 live shells in a warehouse where security measures amount to a piece of string, and has an unnerving encounter with KGB operatives.
