Well as you asked...
I travelled from London to Spain a 50 pound one trip, the very best ever short holiday I've ever been on. Didn't get out of the airport due to my then partner not having a valid visa. I was traveling on an Irish passport. Yep adopted Egyptian/Germans qualify for Irish citizenship.
Anywho they put us in an office for a quick chat, the big bird on the tarmac was delayed cause there'd be two new travellers aboard. They bought out the mobile stairs and put us in an army jeep with two dudes carrying machine guns. Closest I've felt to being a rockstar/ Pablo Escobar. Everyone was looking out the window of the plane- thinking what have they got themselves here.
On a flight from Auckland to LA I sat nest to Philthy Taylor and the rest of the Motorhead crew, such awesome dudes. Got a job in *Goreme Turkey selling carpets. But they would never pay me so on enlisted some Kurds as my debt collectors. I'd get the equivalent of 110 u.s. per carpet. I had to give the Kurds 30 bucks though.
At the time it was about 20 cents for a beer, 2 bucks for a nights accommodation and the best ever kebab outside the Blue Mosque was around 50 cents.
Goreme
Plenty more stories to come lol
