Rant session:

• left over half my clothes in istanbul. to cut the story short, I now have a pair of [ahem soiled] pants and two tops. no towel and no sleeping clothes. craaaap
• to make things worse, I arrived in Aleppo (Syria) this morning to find everything closed so I cant go and buy a towel etc. its friday and its the day for prayer and mosque
• zero hours of sleep. flew from istanbul to adana in the evening, caught a 11pm bus from adana to antakya, and waited at the bus station from 2am till dawn not being able to fall asleep because of two snoring men and turkish music
• still tired, want to lie down in hostel but room is not ready till two hours later
• money-strapped: not having used my aussie ATM card for a year now, I forgot the PIN number. double crap
• I realized I sent the shisha I brought without putting a fragile sticker on

Aleppo is dusty and I am tired. Im out.

Promise next post will be a happier one, because I have heard good things in Aleppo when things are actually open.
