A title

 

Been quite lazy to update. Net is shit and... I'm lazy. I saw these cute bikes in Sandaj, Italian motor but apparently they're crap. I got bored quite fast of this place so I walked from corner to corner of the CBD and

 

Nice something car.

 

 

 

This kid was proud as anything of his ride. Inappropriate footwear for high speed vehicles though.

 

 

 

I actually hate co-operative sports and prefer adventure sports. But I couldn't resist joining in with these kids. They called screamed out JAGGIE CHAN randomly. Bottom right has a good future. He's got skill.

 

 

 

 

This guy worked at a bus company in the city. I asked him for some help and he walked me around the streets trying to find what i was looking for. An hour later and he drive past me on the street and took me to a late lunch. Then he drove me to the bus depot for my onward trip to Tabriz. Top bloke. Studies engineering, loves to cruise around in his car.

 

 

When I got to Tabriz it was 6am. I didn't anticipate this. I walked around trying to find a hotel for 2 hours in the cold and at one point contemplated buying a tent and staying in the park. Apparently there were many people from adjacent cities who had come into Tabriz for health care and thus fill up all the hotels. I eventually did find a room whose shower trickled so slowly it took a good 10 minutes to wash off soap. Guess you can't complain for $10/night.

 

 

 

A parts store.

 

 

I was thankful that I had found a room after a guesthouse or camping were my best options. Then I tried to find a powerpoint and this was the only thing I could find. I thought, this could not possibly be a live powerpoint. So I plug my phone in and .... ding! It starts charging. There wasn't even a switch for this, it was just live, constantly.

 

 

 

And then this fly comes barging into my room like its paying board. It managed to find its way in through a huge hole in the screen, but it can't find its way out. Firstly I don't understand how you can't remember the only way in. Secondly I can't understand how you can't freakin see the exit anyway. You are a fly, it is your bread and butter to see and fly. This isn't a sudoku puzzle. Thirdly, you just need to take a few (x6) steps backwards and you'll be out. Come on!

 

 

Three hours later and this all the ground he has covered. Hopeless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photos from Esfahan I forgot to add.

 

Awesome teahouse.

 

Awesome church. With local couch surfer.

 

Cool museum with old shit. I love the work on these pages. Reminds me of "colouring in" in primary school. This work deserves A LOT of scratch and sniff stickers. Maybe a few stamps as well.

 

Eating "dizzy". They cook up a stew of chickpeas, potato, meat. You drain out the juice and mash the remainder into a pulp. With the juice/soup you tear off bread and soak it so it becomes kinda... mushy. Consume all. I didn't like mashing it, I prefer to to choose if I want a single chickpea or a double, etc.
