    Isfahan is a must-see, but Tehran must not be missed either. I also strongly suggest that you visit Chabahar, since it sits right on the gulf. Beautiful beaches with white sand that is as fine as powder. It's actually a pretty popular tourist spot.





    One of the biggest problems with leadership is that sometimes people mistake strength of force as good leadership, when it in reality shows the opposite.

    My maternal grandpa's side of the family is descended from Shiraz Armenians (last name is Shirazyan). And parts of my maternal grandmother's family were forcibly exiled to Iran under Stalin.

    Iran looks beautiful... Do people speak English there? Would I get by without knowing Persian?

    Are Iranians really that hateful towards the West like the media portrays it?

    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Many of the young people speak it, up to about mid. 30s. There were no problems at all, most of the time was either by body-language or money-language.

    People are really friendly. I was buying some water pipes in a Bazar one day and alot of accessories. for 300US$, some Iranian suddenly got involved and started barging for ME, a total stranger to them. Defendig me. Inspecting the merchendice, demanding better. This happend several times in several differnt places.
    In my whole trip, I didnt even see one negative face. Not a single one. They either treated you as an equal, like everybody else, or as a friend. I was thinking "wtf! You are isolated people who hate the west, what happend? were is the bombs and crying mothers? the barbaric culture from CNN/BBC and the axis of evil?"

    I did only see one backpacker from the west.

    As long as your not from USA or Denmark, some cases british. your totaly OK. Reamember to respect there culture and law, and they will respect you as their fellow brother or sis.

    PS: I also travelled with the UN Chif-ambassador of Irani, who once in a while, helped me see the great things in Tehran.

    This is my secound best vecation, after my best one "2Mnth trip to Ivory Coast, west Africa."

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    It is not like the media portrays it at all...in afct it attracts many(a lot seriously) tourists every year. The olny thing is that it has some very strict rules but it's not as evil as it's portrayed...

    1. The Iran Gov. dont like vestern tourist that much(unrest). Just think about a big drunken English man.
    2.As long the ladys were a scarf, respect the religus life, no alchol in public(If you need to smugle alc. into the country, I know how.)
    3. Yeah many do, but the Caspian sea is THE holliday place. There is a little island(international) just of the coast, were rich Iranian people get drunk.
    4 If you wanto party, drink alc., smoke weed, do coke. Just try to get together with some young people at the airport(who are form vestern countrys).

    My uncle visited Kish in 1974 and at that time it was the "Dubai" of the 70s, actually it went one step further by having those giant casinos and all sort of entertainment. I have no idea how it looks now, but before it was the Kish where people went, not Dubai or Doha.

    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''You should go. about the sunni thing.... if you dont wildly express your feelings about oppression etc. its all good. There are very relaxed people there.
    Speaking of relaxed people in Iran, watch out for people driving in the wrong direction on the highway. The jungle law is applyed, and the traffick signs is more a suggesting.

    LOL smuggle alcohol?.They should smuggle the country's women out too .
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''i bet you can get a great bargin deal Import alcohol and export sexy womans. hehe. Just make sure you place the gods in garbage bag, and tape it. The airport security will see you not from Iran, and the will let it go throue.

    The richer people of northern tehran is not that hatefull to british, they only wear their scarf around their hair.. with lots of make-up and flirty faces
    the older right wing people of the south is a little more conservative.


    One day, I and some others were taking a walk in the national cemetary/museum of tehran. Just wondring our own busniess, suddenly some bystanders noticed our precense. They offerd to tour/show us the whole enormeus site, normal people.
    For 2 whole hours, they talked about history, Iran-Irakwar, heroes and leaders, the revolution. Some old woman, totaly stranges, started to give us muffins, and they wouldnt let us go until we ate the whole box. I also remember several groups of youg girls. lots of make-up ofcourse, flirting in the open, not afraid of any jugdment.

    This is how they generally are in Iran.

    Very revealing trip all in all.
