So the bus actually took 36 hours with us being dropped off in the centre of Istanbul at 3am Turkey time!! One of the Iranians knew a nearby hotel so a few of us trudged after him, all a little weary. I had a strange feeling of how it would be to be Iranian leaving for the first time to a huge modern city with sky high prices that and a totally different world. My eyes were wide after all the primitive places we have come from, and I'm used to it all, it must be a huge shock to arrive here. They earn $200 a MONTH and cheap hotels in Istanbul cost $70. No wonder there are so many people on the streets and destitute. Scary stuff seeing it through their eyes when we were in a group. Svend found a place and a Kurdish couple came with us, figuring out we had a better deal.
