• The nicest city

    Jun 10–12 in Iran ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Later one that day, I left Mahabad to Urmia, my favorite city of the trip. I contacted my host, Sonia, she was busy with a course, so I had to explore on my own. I arrived in the city and went to the downtown, the weather was absolutely perfect, chilly and a bit drizzling. I spent the evening exploring the market and enjoying the vibes. I was too hungry that I couldn't find a place to eat. I finally found a stall where I had a local food (potato and eggs). Then Sonia came and we went out to see the night life of urmia. We started by having a special tea. Then had great conversations. She invited me for dinner, so I couldn't reject it, although it was meat (I don't eat meat 🥩), so I had to force myself to eat it and imply that I like it, I hated it though. She realized I haven't eaten it all, thus aksed if I liked it, I replied it was good but I was full. Hereafter she finished it. We went to a park after that, it was quite nice, there were people hanging out and enjoying their night. I had some pics there. After that, she called her friend to come and pick us up. Her friend came and drove us to the mountains where we enjoyed the nice and breathtaking view of the city. We even explored a couple of churches nearby.
    Then we went back to sleep. I wake up early the next morning and Sonia already left for work, so I couldn't say goodbye, I left her a gift 🎁, later she found it and thanked me.
    That day I recorded some clips and explored the markets on my own. I visited a museum where I saw so many great artifacts and cultural insights.
    I had the pleasure to be hosted by Tîrêj, and nice Kurdish guy alongside with his wife Awin. We had dinner and talked all the night and had great insights together.
