Taftan like Hell

Text written in: English

The old said, history will repeat again and again. It's definitely true.

After the overnight bus from Osh, it was my first time to take a night bus again. Then, it happened again... The bus broke down few times on the way, once an hour. Fortunately at about 4:00am the driver fixed the problem, but the bus was heavyly overloaded, can only be run at about 40kph.

The journey supposed take about 12~14 hours and arrive Taftan early morning. However, the bus took 22 hours, we arrived Taftan in the afternoon just before the border close. Not so bad, we still can cross.

Crossing the border was easy, the border officials were friendly at both side. But the weather was so bad there, sandstorm!! stand outside just one minute the sand got into my beg, my pocket, my mouth, my eye, my ear...... What a hell place.

After crossing, we took a share taxi to Zahedan immediately. Escaped from of the hell.
