Broke and lost in Turkey

Dear friends and hard core mother fuckers ACRASSICAUDA salute you:

Sorry for not writing any thing about our trip to Turkey but just so you know we are now in Istanbul, Turkey, now.

We made it there and it’s been almost 2 weeks for us here, all of us got here after long trip starting from the the Syrian International airport then to Jordan (i don’t know why the hell for)..?? and then to Istanbul airport in turkey. First i want to thank WHO EVER HELPED US TO MAKE THIS TRIP POSSIBAL, we thank you for that, each and every one of you we want to thank personally for your help it means a lot to us. We had this crazy idea of repaying you guys if we ever made it out there (who knows)...

Second thing I want to talk about is how we got here, you won’t fucking believe it dudes we went twice to the Syrian airport WHY...? Cuz the first time 2 of us got there flight tickets cancelled and got kicked out of the airport, 1st reason was for misspelling a name and 2nd one was cuz of the pictuer in the passport looked fishy, leaving the other 2 guys to wonder if we should go back with out the other 2 members but finally we made our mind to go all together or TO HELL WITH IT. I remember the guy who is in charge telling us when we decided not to go the 2 of us in the last minute that he hold us the reponsibolty if any thing happened to the plane and he said it like he was threatening us ....finally we worked on the 2 guys passports and fixed it (cost 700$) we made ıt to through to turkey at the 10 of October.

Everything here is wierd kinda nobody speaks English or Arabic we don’t know anyone here and you can tell how hard to manage asking about any thing to anybody here, everything so expensive (fucking insane) trying to get hold of anyone but as i already told you we don’t know that much of people here. We got 1 month visa here as Iraqis and after that we don’t know what will happen, my guessing is we will get send to prison then back to Iraq or mabey straight back to Iraq cuz as you already know that we can't go back to Syria cuz of the visa thing so again THE FOUR OF US BACK AGAIN LOST AND BROKE AND WITHOUT GUIDE OUR EVEN EQUEPMENTS OUR PLACE TO STAY IN TURKEY

So for who ever concern if there is any thing you can do to help us or guide us and we mean any thing please step forward ..maybe some people now say we are out of the reasons to let us make this dream come true ...but it takes more than reasons for us to give up what we believe.

METAL RULES

hey guys
i suggest you to leave istanbul, it's the most expensive city you may ever live in Turkiye.
Try to go Hatay/Antakya. almost all of the people there knows how to speak Arabic (i'm from hatay, even my father's native language is Arabic)

good luck.

oh, try Has Turizm, Sas Turizm, Gunsas turizm, Nur turizm to travel to Hatay/Antakya. these companies always finds a way for you to move to hatay. Their workers all speak Arabic.

Hello Acrassicauda,

I have been following your story and have been touched by your strength, courage and love for music and each other. I am writing a feature on the band for the magazine, Al-Jadid. Would it be possible to email you a few questions? Please email me! I wish you the best, keep strong and positive.
Best,

Hey Acrassicauda, or even the black scorpion

I'm a true metalhead from sweden, and i love all kinds of metal!
And if you guys, keeping up the good work and get out of this situation alive. I'll promise you have every metalhead from the us and europe supporting your side, and you grew up being the only metal band from baghdad. Since you are the only band, its a long way to rock n roll:)

But keep it up and i´ll see you on your european tour in the near years;)

Good luck and have fun
