Smoke me..

Text written in: English

"Air pollution levels in Tehran have reached dangerous levels and travellers should monitor local news outlets before considering a visit to the capital"

Founded that on lonely planets homepage, and it makes sense to me when sitting here. I really wanna get out of this city, even this country as i feel now. Will try give it a chance, but really miss thailand.

This is what i wrote at another place, to sum up my first week. Might as well copy it to here..

Okey, what happend first week.

Things i got for free

@ Got bread from a turkish student.
@ Got kissed (like they do) from the students friend.
@ Got free taxi from the guys that clean streets at night
@ Got free taxi from the Turkey police.

Offers

@ To sleep in some Iranian home..
@ To come and eat dinner, same place. (guy that creeps me out)
@ A number to some girl in Teheran if i wanted room or had problems.
@ A guided tour in Korea if/when i go there.

People i met

@ American girl, one year younger..
@ Korean girl, same age
@ Italian guy, 16.
@ Iranian soldier with more bulletholes then a rifle target.
@ Some other dudes, danish, canadian, japs whatever..


Now the details..

First night, on "subway", or light rail system, metro whatever they call it. Met two turkish students, got some bread and the other one kissed when they left.
Clock was between 23.00-01.00, knew the area should goto, but not how. Tried to ask some "streetcleaners" the way to busstation, they didnt know any english but drove me to trainstation, and then the police drove me right.. long story.

Next day, met this sweet korean girl, finaly someone else the Sibylla to discuss korean movies.. didnt have so much time together but she promised me to guide me if i come to korea.

Next day i sat down infront of a girl, she was from america but studied in cario.. and had more sugar in her breakfast then i eat during one month. So i started tell her my thoughts about americans, and how strange it may sound to people like Jonas that knows what i think.. we had alot of fun all day, from breakfast to the last tea before my train left 22.00..

italian guy was a funny one, 16 years old, no passport and thought he was gonna go to India. the passport control in Iran didnt agree and he was asked to leave the train... i had to spend 2 days with that chainsmooker so was pretty happy when he left, also he had lied to his mother and alot of stuff.

ahh, time to go check out from hotel.one thing, if you missed out to be in like eastgermany, goto teheran, feels like 1985 but more modern stuff in the shops.

Dont know when i will write next time, dont know how to get out of this town, i just know i dont wanna stay longer then needed.
