• Azerî's biggest city

    June 13 in Iran ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Tîrêj who hosted me for the night, offered me to go and explore the rural areas of the city since he had to go with some people to have a look at some farms. Unfortunately due to my tight schedule, I couldn't accept his offer.
    He got my a snap ride to the terminal. I'm sure he paid online already, however when I got to the terminal, the driver insisted he has not been paid, so I paid him too. Sometimes you just get scammed like that! 😁
    I went to the main office and bought the ticket to tabriz. The way to tabriz was breathtaking since the route was going through the urmia lake, which is one of the most beautiful lake in the world. After I arrived in the city, I grabbed a ride to the city center, I pretended that I am from Spain to the taxi driver and he was so surprised, he even asked for my number, he was nice enough not to accept my payment. Such a nice gesture.
    I toured the market and enjoy taking to the locals and drinking local mysteries things. I visited some museums in Tabriz and even got to see old maps of the different civilization and there were Kurdistan map among them.
    I walked tens of kilometers to my host's house in the north of the city. My host, Aydin, he was very kind and knowledgeable. He treated me well.
    We got to talk about Kurdish and Turkish people, he had a different perspective towards racism.
    I spent that night chatting and enjoying the different cultures.
