Trip Summary
We've arrived in Iraq Kurdistan capital city Erbil (ھەولێر) after cycling through some wet and snowy weather. We arrived on March 7th after cycling a further 1850 km, bringing our total to 14355 km. On this route we saw the lush green landscape again, climbing some tough hills and entering the safest part of Iraq.
经过一些潮湿多雪的天气后,我们抵达了伊拉克库尔德斯坦首都埃尔比勒(ھەولێر)。我们在进一步骑行1850公里后于3月7日到达,使我们的总数增加到14355公里。在这条路线上,我们再次看到了郁郁葱葱的绿色景观,攀登了一些坚硬的山丘,进入了伊拉克最安全的地区。
Don't mind the big gap... (We took the bus because of rain)
Just a stone's throw away to Europe
Bike Crash 自行车撞车
We'll start with the worst story first. In Ahwaz we met two locals who hopped out of their car as we were cycling to a camping spot. After exchanging a few greetings and selfies, we were kindly offered a place at the guy's home. By chance they were thinking about going on a tour themselves!
Both of them were part of the Ahwaz Mountain Biking group. They are a big inclusive group with at least 5 female cyclists. It's good to see female cyclists because they are very restricted here, and when they do cycle solo they'll be approached and harassed by men.
我们先从最糟糕的故事开始。在阿瓦士,我们遇到了两个当地人,他们骑车去了露营地。在交换了一些问候和自拍之后,我们在这家伙的家中得到了一席之地。他们偶然会考虑自己去旅游!
他们都是Ahwaz山地自行车队的一员。他们是一个包容性很强的团体,至少有5名女性骑自行车者。很高兴看到女性骑自行车的人,因为她们在这里非常受限制,当他们独自骑车时,他们会被男人接近和骚扰。
On the last day, the group planned to cycle with us to Shoush (100 km away) with a car escort carrying our bags. We were all going fast, it felt like we were flying without our bags. But with great speed there's an increased risk of a crash.
About halfway through, one of the cyclist abruptly stopped to get their wheels pumped, without telling those behind they were going to stop. Matt and Pheng were following behind closely, Matt narrowly misses their bike, but Pheng only had ½ seconds to react before impact.
We crashed.
No one was hurt, thankfully, but Pheng's bike suffered damages to the front wheel, front rack and frame. It was only noticed a few days later. With the cash we had received in Shiraz we were able to get the repairs done before leaving Iran. Instagram Story of the frame getting repaired.
在最后一天,该小组计划与我们一起骑车到Shoush(100公里以外),带着我们行李的汽车护送。我们都走得很快,感觉就像我们没有行李一样飞行。但速度极快会增加发生碰撞的风险。
大约一半时间,其中一名骑车人突然停下来让他们的轮子抽水,没有告诉那些他们将要停下来的人。 Matt和Pheng紧随其后,Matt险些错过了他们的自行车,但Pheng在撞击前只有半秒钟的反应。
我们互相撞击了。
幸运的是,没有人受伤,但Pheng的自行车遭受了前轮,前机架和车架的损坏。几天后才注意到它。凭借我们在设拉子收到的现金,我们能够在离开伊朗之前完成维修。(Instagram)
Before... And after
Inspiring Host 鼓舞人心的主人
In Khorramabad we stayed with a host who is raising his daughter bilingual. Determined to speak English after an encounter with a tourist 8 years ago, he started studying English all by himself. He didn't attend university and sells vegetable off the truck.
We arrived at their home on the daughter's 3rd birthday. She was shy at first, but after some time she started playing and talking to us. It was a good opportunity for the father and daughter to practice their English. The amount of vocabulary the daughter knew surprised us.
在霍拉马巴德,我们和一位正在抚养女儿的主人住在一起。 8年前与一位游客相遇后决心说英语,他开始独自学习英语。他没有上大学,而是从卡车上卖菜。
我们在女儿的3岁生日时到了家。起初她很害羞,但过了一段时间后,她开始和我们说话。这是父女练习英语的好机会。女儿知道的词汇量让我们感到惊讶。
Usually a family becomes bilingual after they have migrated to another country. As with Pheng's family they spoke Khmer and English at home. This family however was different, the father is putting in extra efforts to speak English at home, together with his wife raising their daughter in Farsi and English.
通常,一个家庭在迁移到另一个国家后会变成双语。和Pheng的家人一样,他们在家里讲高棉语和英语。然而,这个家庭不同,父亲正在额外努力在家里说英语,还有他的妻子用波斯语和英语抚养他们的女儿。
Kurds in Kurdistans 库尔德斯坦的库尔德人
The Kurdish people are found in four countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. Unfortunately they were not given an area to call home so their people were split apart by many borders.
In west Iran we entered the first Kurdish region: Kurdistan and Kermanshah province. After that we got to Iraqi Kurdistan, then later we will go to Turkish Kurdistan. Due to ongoing conflicts, we are skipping Syria.
库尔德人民分布在四个国家:伊朗,伊拉克,叙利亚和土耳其。不幸的是,他们没有一个地区可以打电话回家,所以他们的人民被许多边界分开了。
在伊朗西部,我们进入了第一个库尔德地区:库尔德斯坦和克尔曼沙省。之后我们到了伊拉克库尔德斯坦,然后我们将去土耳其库尔德斯坦。由于持续的冲突,我们正在逃避叙利亚。
Never thought we'd see a sign for going to Baghdad
The last place before Sulaymaniyah was liberated was the torture/prison complex
Kurds in Iraq were very øppreꙅꙅed under the previous Iraqi government. The fighters Peꙅʜ𝕞erᎶa were hunted, but now they stand proud protecting their people in this very autonomous region. With their free visa policy, we were able to enter the northern region of Iraq for 30 days free. This helped us a lot in terms of distance and weather.
Going through Iraq Kurdistan allowed us to explore a new region, learn about the people, and share to the world that life still goes on in this war torn area.
在前伊拉克政府统治下,伊拉克的库尔德人非常沮丧。 Peꙅʜ𝕞erᎶa战士被捕,但现在他们在这个非常自治的地区骄傲地保护他们的人民。通过免签证政策,我们可以免费进入伊拉克北部地区30天。这在距离和天气方面帮助了我们很多。
穿越伊拉克库尔德斯坦让我们探索一个新的地区,了解人民,并向全世界分享在这个饱受战争蹂躏的地区生活仍在继续。

What's next? 下一步是什么
We'll continue towards Turkey and make our way towards Istanbul. It'll be our last Asian country before reaching Europe! We're really excited about reaching our new continent that we hope to live in the next few years.
我们将继续前往土耳其,前往伊斯坦布尔。它将成为我们到达欧洲之前的最后一个亚洲国家!我们真的很高兴能够到达我们希望在未来几年生活的新大陆。
