I had said it 3 months ago. Before starting my journey, I said it was soon, I had to publish articles first, work on the projects more and then go on the trip. Now I’m going to do what I said 3 months ago. However, things will be very different this time. I’ll try to be more sociable. Of course, since I’ll stay in Iran for some months, the plan for a sociable life should be different. Probably attending different classes rather than trying to speak with individuals in a cafe for example. It means I should socialize with groups of people rather than individuals.
In the next months, I’ll work on articles and submit them, continue working on the projects and, of course, improve my social skills. However, it’s important that the nature of the project won’t change. It won’t be a centralized platform similar to current centralized platforms. Afterwards, I’ll try again to enter the UK. I have said it many times no one will take advantage of the situation I’m in. I’ll try again in the future. So nothing has been paused. Projects move on but on a different path for some months.
I’ll wait until around Tuesday and then buy a ticket for Friday and return. This is my choice. I tried all different paths but got no response. It was clear that I would run out of money after a while and had to return. I didn’t get any one-sentence email that “I’ll read your article” or “You should contact another student” or something. And because there has been no response, the only option for me is to return as soon as possible so I have money to spend on plan B. So I’m not making any decision here. It doesn’t take time to send a one-sentence email. So if I get a response after my return, it is simply a naive trick to pretend they tried. I’ll be in Dubai until Friday. So any email after that is a worthless attempt. Also, no matter what happens and how (and when) I eventually enter the UK, no one can take advantage of the situation. I will have no obligation to do anything in return to anyone.
UPDATE 1:
I’ve paid for my hotel until Wednesday. So I’ll wait until Tuesday and if I don’t get any reply will buy a ticket for the next day. If there is going to be any reply it can be sent by Tuesday. If there is no reply no matter how long I wait I won’t get any reply.
It’s interesting that I’m told it’s better to stay. I’m not making any choice. It would be great if time could be stopped but it’s not possible. It would be great if I could stay for months and years and then try again but that’s impossible. I don’t follow impossible advice.
The debate project was a type of freelance job so I could earn some money and stay. Got no reply. Then tried another project. Again no reply. I was told to go through the academic channel and again no reply. I wonder what’s going on there.
UPDATE 2:
Borrowing money to stay longer is unspeakable. I tried all my options and none worked. If I stay longer and spend all my money plus the additional money that I borrow, I will have no money for plan B which is great to press on me to accept their conditions. That’s not going to happen. There should always be plan B so I can turn to the other plan if plan A doesn’t work. I have more than 2 days. On Tuesday afternoon I’ll buy a ticket for the next day.
UPDATE 3:
I’ve been clear in my previous posts that the project will not be similar to current centralized platforms. So there will be no investor who owns a large percentage of the platform. I had said it before but thought I should repeat myself.
I’ll stay only if I get a reply to my email. But it’s not clear to me what’s going to happen next when I get a reply. As I said before If I’m convinced I will enter the UK in weeks or a few months I will spend the money I have. Or the project should start so I’ll have a paid job so I can stay here for a while. If not I have no option but to return as soon as possible (this Wednesday) and work on plan B.
