"Delhi, India" ?Posted by devon on Friday, May 21, 2004
I'm leaving today for the great expedition. I train today to the Border with Pakistan. I should be there tommorow. After that, I will have to get my Afghanistan Visa in Islamabad, then I'm off to Afghanistan. There I will try to get my Iran Visa, and then I will work my way through Afghanistan to Iran. Once I have finished in Iran, I will travel non-stop from the Turkish/Iranian border to Paris hopefulling arriving in time to meet my little brother and friends.
I shouldn't have to say it, but Im not going to have a lot of internet access, but anytime that I have a chance to get on, I will make sure to update and I'm planning on giving detailed accounts of the places that I'm visiting.
So that means I can have no loose strings like the Visa madness story.
Basically after yelling at the british lady, I went to the Pakistani Embassy, and they basically told me that they didnt care. Nice. I then simpered over to the Canadian HC, pleaded my case to them, and as they were at the very least polite to me, I handed over the money, and they told me to come back at 4PM for the letters.
I was seriously demoralized and decided that hanging around embassyville for too long would make me kill myself, so I limped back home in my pathetic state. The next day I picked up the letters early and made my application at the Pakistani High Commision.
Long story short, I have the Visa now in my Canadian Passport, yet I am currently travelling in India on my British Passport. This means trouble at the border. You should have seen the cruel looks that the Pakistani HC clerks gave me when I asked about this. They were just too happy to take my money and not care what happened at ther border. Bastards, all of them.
So thats me. I'm off on the craziest expedition I have yet devised on my trip. Crazier that the Tibet one I think, and hope in in my small masochistic way.
Wish me luck and may Allah be with me.
