Here are some portraits of the guys that I shared the cabin with on the Train from Tabriz (Iran) to Van (Turkey). These guys were very friendly but unfortunately none of us could speak each others languages. I wish i had made more of an effort to learn some Farsi!

As far as I could tell a few of these guys had bought a lot of cigarettes in Iran and were bringing them into Turkey to make some bucks

  @Everyone thankyou so much for checking out my blog and have a look at the photos. I am having a really great time seeing these countries in the middle east and I highly recommend you all to try get over here some time. Pretty much everyone I have met has been extremely friendly and the culture is extremely interesting. Thanks again!
