Changes

By [[User::Harveypekar|Harveypekar]]. Every weekend, thousands of students from Tehran climb into their jeeps, and head out into the country side. It's difficult to catch them as they leave the city, but in the remote places, it's easy to pick them out. And in every car you will find at least one who speaks passable English. The downside is that Iranian weekends tend to make these places fuller, but as i was traveling in November, this was not an issue for me. This way, I managed to hitch inside Alamout valley (but I got trucks and motorbikes too), and also inside of the Maranjob desert. With that last one, I stayed with them two days, seeing nearby attractions and camping out with them. Because cars tend to be full, it might not work so well when you are more than one person.
