My plan for Iraq-Iran-Turkey crossing in one day failed…because I decided to switch to public transports. I was too lazy to hitchhike, especially at night and I wasn’t sure if the Iran-Turkey border open at night.
So I ended up staying in the Kurdish town of Orumiyeh in northwestern Iran, telling myself(if not self-justifying) to survey the cost of living in Iran(rumors have it that due to the rise of crude oil, everything has become at least one third more expensive!) before setting up my foot here in a month to come.
Since I was in Syria, I have been getting fussy on organizing the journey to Turkey, Iraq and Iran because the problem is I still want to travel further to the Caucasus region at the north(I can’t wait to drink wine in Georgia and experience the unprecedented aura of Gods in Armenia). My initial plan was to travel to Iraq from Turkey, back to Turkey again before traveling to the Caucasus Region and from there, getting in Iran(Turkey-Iraq-Turkey-Caucasus Region-Iran) or, travel within eastern Turkey before moving further north to the Caucasus region and from there, getting in Iran and make Iran as a stop point to travel to Iraq(Turkey-Caucasus Region-Iran-Iraq-Iran). Since both of these option involved backtracking and since backtracking is totally out of my list, I chose Turkey-Iraq-Iran-Turkey-Caucasus Region-Iran and this made me lazying around in Orumiyeh.
This is the cause and effect.
Note: A friend of mine from Slovenia just get rejected an Iranian visa after weeks of waiting. My fellow western friends, please don’t get jealous as I can travel to Iran anytime I want without any hassle. Ha!~~
