Kurdistan: Day 11, Soran

A visit to the university in Soran was rather interesting. I was introduced to a few English classes, and participated in some question-and-answer sessions. By far the most popular question was "What do you think of Kurdistan/Kurdish people?". There were questions on my journey and on Western culture, particularly about women in Western society. I got the impression that many of boys (who formed a majority in the class) thought it was absurd that many women work, and that many men share the household chores. "So who takes care of the children?" one asked. By this point, Iran definitely seemed more Westernised than Kurdistan.
