Iran-Afghanistan Border

 

  • It caught our attention the Custom official, during lunch break, was working as a beggar?!?!?!
  • We were told that the average time at the border due to custom procedure is approx. 10 hours. It seems, we were lucky; We waited for 5 hours only.
Iransko-Avganistanska granica

 

  • Palo nam je oci da sluzbenik carine u pauzi radi kao prosjak ?!?!
  • Receno nam je da je moguce cekanje na granici oko 10 sati. Cekali smo oko 5 sati na procedure i uz probleme sa Saletovom frizurom.

  • Ostavlja bolji utisak od Herata I Qandahara ali smo se vec navikli na ovu kulturu
  • Ostao mi je u secanju prodavac nozeva koji je recimo, prilikom cenjkanja, smanjio originalnu cenu nozeva za vise od 10x
  • Isto tako, hasis se osceca na svakom koraku; u kafanama se nude hrana sa hasisom a, desilo se da su Ziki I mene drogirani policajci nudili drogom
