The dawn started to break.

"The most memorable moment during my
travels around the world, is when I saw the Iran borders.
To get to the Iran borders, you have to take a bus from Turkey. But the buses from Turkey are always crazy. They always drop you off at different places. Usually 2km from the borders... However I was dropped off 50km away from the borders. There was nothing I could do. It was 2am in the morning, cold and pitch black. 

After an hour of thumbing, a truck driver picked me up. While we were driving, the dawn started to break. We both couldn't speak english. So we just kept smoking cigarettes the whole time without a conversation. Then suddenly the drivers looked at me and said "Ararat" . The sun was rising up from the horizon ahead of us and the mountains of Ararat became visible. The borders of Iran. I was so overwhelmed that I almost shed a tear.
