Hi gruff5, How much did you have to spend during your 8 months travel. What were the major cities and countries that you went through? Thanks.

Sorry @Sameer India

Baloch are fighting against pakistan from last 63 years for freedom,so how could you say that they are similar with india or pakistan??/ Zahedan is not towards the border of pakistan,but Afghanistan.

Baloch have nothing to do with pakistan and india is so far,If pakistani baloch are not close to pakistani so how can iranian?? so far if you dont have a knowledge plz keep quite

[goonjeshkak]

thanks dude " not a bad city"

dude its perfect

i was born there

maybe its perfect 4 me

have not seen it for 5 years

what is the exact date of this video ?

or which month and year

do u have similar videos ?

[gruff5]

Though I liked it, not perfect for me. But where we are born is always going to be special for each of us, isn't it? :-)

November 2005 I was there.

I travelled overland from UK (Stonehenge) to Beijing 2005/2006 for 8 months. Got 30 hours worth of handycam footage, but Sony idiots make it almost impossible to edit, so I prob don't have the time to put any more up on youtube.

Search on gruff5 from time to time, as that could always change ;-)

well my friend, im just saying what i saw and felt when i was in iran. i met balochis and they were more comfortable with me rather than iranians.

im not claiming them they are the ones who feel comforatble with us

[jaberkhatar]

where were u born in zahedan man

[sameerindia]

Iranian Balochistan are culturally similar to Pakistan and India

[iguard23]

Dude, why do you go around saying this in every Balochi video thread? lol, Let Balochi's be themselves, I have Balochi friends. And I heard Baloch language it's almost the same as Farsi. I have nothing against Indians or Pakistanis, but go claim other people.

[LvDaMuzic]

You don't try to determine who others are.

[ODYKrAzZy]

Long live free Balochistan.

[STA1978]

nice one mate, you should try other parts of Iran too, I'm probably going to Zahedan next year since I never been there.

[gruff5]

No, sorry, I spent 4 years "learning" German at school, but that experience left me with a vocabulary of just five words!!!

What was zahedan like as a city did it look poorer compared to other cities in Iran or was it just like any other city in Iran?

[gruff5]

Zahedan is in Balochistan, not far from the border of Pakistan. It does have a remote, border-town feel, the men wearing shalwar kameez (unlike the western dress in most of Iran), few women on the streets and it is pretty dusty. That said, I liked it, a genuine, non-touristy kind of place.

[brahmabullc]

gruff5, did you take a train ride from Zahedan to Quetta, Pakistan? How long did it take ya?

[gruff5]

I was aiming to take that train, but they were really unhelpful at the rail station - sat around for hours waiting in the office for the official to deign me with his attention - gave up in the end and took taxi to the border (expensive, all to myself!) and then bus to Quetta. The bus is 3 times quicker and we actually overtook the train on our way. Think it was about a 16 hour bus ride - freezing cold thru the night!!
