Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey

This is a three or four country letter from Ankara on machine with no English spell checker and a Turkish keyboard. My last email finished off with me crossing into Bulgaria where I met up with Alex a friend from Australia whose family are Bulgarian. Down into Greece to meet up with Lars for my 30th birthday, island hopping to Turkey and across to Kurdistan where my phone was stolen and I met three Taliban, one of whom was locked in Guantanamo for two and half years, who justified the murder of innocent Jews and Christians. I'm waiting for a visa for Georgia then I'll head over there down through Armenia and into Iran. There has been a slight change in my plans to return home, a visa for Paksitan is looking problematic and a Canadian displayed my lack of climatic knowledge by pointing out the massive snow cover over Nepal and Tibet in Febuary which would prove difficult to traverse. From Iran I'm planning to cover the three stans to the north and west of Afghanistan into China then head down through Laos.
