Well, if you hang around at the best known drug hubs in Berlin being Kottbusser Tor and Görlitzer Park, it's no surprise that you bump into drug dealers taking into account the tourist vibes your're sending out. I think, you can have all sorts of lives in Berlin. Most Berliners live decent lives like most people in other cities. I'm sick and tired of these documentaries that just endlessly repeat the same old headlines about Berlin as the craziest Un-German city ever. Grow up and show something really interesting please.
Just to let you know the army guy is just as human as me and you the scary ones are irgc they will question you the army ones are just normal boys who reach 18 and have to go join army irgc and basij and sepah are the 3 dangrous force in iran that can stop you at any time and basij is the one that always checks for guys with females who are not married
Berlin has only immigrants areas inside the ring.. and mostly ghetos which apparently doesn t mean that is diverse....outside of the ring is super white with village mentallity and far more racist than other cities in Germany
Your closing statement brought me into tears...So glad you had a good time in Iran, and please spread the word on how different the reality of the people and the land is from the media portrayals. The rest of the challenges, we have gotten used to over the years, but the negative and wrong image that exists, is the most hurtful.
Berlin used to one of the nicest capitals in the world and now it's a liberal wasteland. People that are supposed to choose a political side to go to Berlin
As an Iranian_ Canadian , Although I am really tourist & a temporary resident of Canada (with 2 Canadian tourist visas) and have returned to my country many times and traveled to more than 20 countries and three continents with multiple visas from Schengen, Switzerland, France, Rom, tailand, malaysia, turkey, Georgia, Dubai, ...armenia& Canada,.. etc. But unfortunately U.S embaasy in Armenia In the interview under 30 seconds unfairly refused me section 214b !!
Better not to go there. I applied for the visa, a guy from embassy called me very rude, disrespectful and stupid. In Iran they stole my money and documents. I called the police which wasn’t helpful either
Cheap or expensive, whatever you eat outside your house is not considered as the real cuisine by the Turks. The real Turkish cuisine is home cuisine from an experienced mother. Luxurious eating for just the fun of it, is a very new concept here. A new trend... The original Turkish man of 50 years ago would be disturbed for having to eat outside. Would just do so not to starve. Home is the luxury... And even though we like all kinds of kebab, we do not see it as a proper "dish" .. This is one of the things these young people would fail to explain. most of them have never got it themselves.
Is this an independent climb? I thought it was a company that you pay to take you up. Can you do this as a solo independent climb if you have the equipment.
It should be clear to all via ferrata climbers on this route that a climbing route by Paul Preuß (1913) existed 110 years ago on exactly these rocks on the Donnerkogel, where free climbing was also possible WITHOUT steel ropes and WITHOUT iron steps and ladders! Old hooks bear witness to this visit. Everyone should think about this if they get into trouble here despite ropes and artificial kicks. Actually, it has always been taboo to lay via ferratas over existing climbable routes. But perhaps people who don't want to train that much should also be given the opportunity to reach alpine terrain that they would never be able to reach without artificial help. Accident numbers or actually numbers of exhausted via ferrata climbers (they are not climbers) speak for themselves... In any case, it's a shame about the beautiful rock, which is now spoiled with ropes and ladders. It was already clear 110 years ago that we could do without it. And that should also put the performance of the via ferrata climbers into perspective if they believe they have achieved great things here. Many of them will probably never know how wonderful it is to climb freely over the rocks without the iron scaffolding. A pity! LG Wolfgang
The lineage of most Pakistanis can be traced back to multiple origins due to the country's diverse ethnic, linguistic, and cultural composition. Pakistan itself is home to various ethnic groups, each with distinct ancestral backgrounds. The largest ethnic group in Pakistan is the 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗯𝗶, which constitutes a significant portion of the population. Punjabis primarily trace their lineage to the historical region of Punjab, which spans across modern-day Pakistan and India. However, it is important to note that Punjabis have diverse origins, including 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼-𝗔𝗿𝘆𝗮𝗻, 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻, and 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗰 influences. Another prominent ethnic group in Pakistan is the 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗵𝗶. Sindhis predominantly inhabit the province of Sindh in southern Pakistan. Their lineage can be linked to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, as well as historical migrations and settlements by various groups, such as the 𝗔𝗿𝘆𝗮𝗻, 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻, and 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗯 populations. The 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝗵𝘁𝘂𝗻𝘀 are another significant ethnic group in Pakistan, mainly concentrated in the northwestern region bordering Afghanistan. Pashtuns have a long and complex lineage, with historical connections to 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰, 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼-𝗔𝗿𝘆𝗮𝗻, and Central Asian tribes. The Pashtun culture is deeply rooted in tribal traditions and customs. In the province of Balochistan, the 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗵 people are the predominant ethnic group. Balochis have a diverse lineage, influenced by 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼-𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻, 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰, and 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗰 migrations. They have a distinct language, customs, and tribal structure that shape their identity. Other notable ethnic groups in Pakistan include 𝗠𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗷𝗶𝗿𝘀, who migrated from India during the partition in 1947, and 𝗞𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘀, with ancestral ties to the disputed region of Kashmir. Additionally, Pakistan is home to various smaller communities, including 𝗝𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗸𝗼, 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗸𝗶, 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗵𝘂𝗶, and 𝗚𝗶𝗹𝗴𝗶𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 populations, each with their own unique lineages and historical backgrounds. It is essential to recognize that Pakistan's population is not homogenous, and individuals may have diverse ancestries through intermingling and migrations over centuries. Furthermore, Pakistan shares historical and cultural ties with neighboring countries, such as India, Afghanistan, Iran, and Central Asia, resulting in a rich tapestry of lineages and cultural influences among Pakistanis.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your Visit to Jordon. You should have purchased a Jordon pass at the airport which would have covered your visa plus entrance fees into a number of sites, Petra being one of them. Actually the pony ride is part of the ticket price that you paid. However, they do expect a tip and that you must determine through haggling before mounting. Also there is a local charity veterinary surgery for the well-being of the ponies so the age old tradition can continue with healthy ponies. Jordon is a beautiful and peaceful country and one day I hope to revisit it again.
