Day 120 (Iran): Tehran (”you have to come back tomorrow”)

Another trip to the embassy of Turkmenistan … another disappointment. It was ominous when the larger stack of papers didn’t contain my file and so the consular staff said something along the lines of: “It is not here yet, come back tomorrow.” I didn’t want to show any emotions, but couldn’t help but let the disappointment show. This the guy took as an affront and so I had to listen to the it takes one week I told you so speech. Thanks! He is a nice guy though, unlike other people …

Not much else to report … saw a good number of Afghans and Central Asians working construction (no rights and bad treatment and of course, cheaper than Iranian labor from what I hear) …

and tried to wash the disappointment down with a good banana milk shake.
