		<description><![CDATA[Imagine you've lived in your small, dusty desert city all of your life, taking out the trash, shopping at the markets, maybe running a small camel butchery. Two kilometres from the town centre there sits the old town, a citadel, a majestic arg built 2500 years ago by your great ancestors. The citadel was the original incarnation of your modern town, consisting of a massive fortress overlooking the maze of rabbit-warrens and dens that comprised the living quarters and workplaces of the people...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first night in Iran was spent sleeping off the day's hair-raising activities in my very neat hotel room. It's hard to describe how welcome a hot shower is after weeks under the cold tap, but rest-assured I gave myself a good scrubbing and came out looking like...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Taftan border was a killer, a busload of Pakistani tourists having arrived at the immigration office about five minutes before I arrived. I waited almost an hour until one of the young guys in the line suggested I push in because I was a foreigner. Looking around at the people in the line, they all seemed to encourage me forward so I walked through and was stamped out within minutes. It was lucky because the massive sand storms I'd experienced along the stretch towards the border looked to me to be very rain-filled and aggressive on the Iranian side...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Islamabad, I rode only to get to Iran, and expected it to take me about four or five days through different conditions, with route decisions based on the attitudes of the local authorities. I had to organise enough cash to get me to the border, and through Iran to Turkey, because there are really no cash machines that accept Australian cards in Iran, or the desert areas of Baluchistan for that matter...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting point to make is that this pre-conceived image of Pakistan has for some time been illuminated by the glow of a comment I read in Ted Simon's book Jupiter's Travels, where he describes The country as a relaxing respite after spending some months in India. That sounded good, India was nuts and I needed a respite...]]></description>

The whole Laos experience was amazing, and I’m so glad I went there as I had considered skipping it and just touring the north of Thailand...]]></description>
