why does getting those flight confirmation emails give me euphoria??

yea so i did some thinking and since the iranian visa is proving so slow/troublesome (and expensive!) i decided i have to leave it to another time, i have to leave on the 10th latest, and thats not enough time :( very unfortunate. i was having some hope until the end but then that hope died. oops.

i found out Damascus is in Syria and i should be able to get a visa at the border, how nice! also, Sofia is in Bulgaria and so that is another option. both trains are quite cheap. and then there is Ankara and Eskisehir or whatever it was again...actually the latter is on the way to the first mentioned, so i could do a stopover or something. i think i am happy with my list of options, they will keep me excited for the next couple weeks.

now, i need to get to planning how to make this as low-budget as possible... hostels...hospitality club...

actually - what i really need to get to is my bloody homework. instead of blogging i should be doing lesson planning right now. with this trip coming up, i HAVE TO get the damn certificate DONE.

and now...one of my fav series; Big Bang Theory. Sheldon learning finnish:
