Tehran..Until we meet again
I got back this morning and went strait to the office..the trip was really exciting, and the best part is that you get to see and feel the real thing, watching, reading, and listing to the media can be very very deceiving…i was really impressed how the country is well developed, clean -no litter, very polluted thou- and how its people work hard to make a living…
People from all around the world come to do business..am gussing i was the only tourist at the hotel, it was full of business people and you can hear their conversations while in the lobby having coffee.. its all about business deals
Death Wall at Eram Park
The Ultimate Rush
We left the hotel to have dinner at Ghahve Khaneh & Sofre Khaneh Rah Ahan , as we were going out of the hotel looking for a taxi..an old man sitting in the passenger seat of a 30 years old Renault 5 waves to us and asks us if we need a taxi, we say yes and hand him the address of the restaurant..he asks us to read it for him because he can’t see clearly !!!
So we did and the adventure begins… Read more
I hate Skiing
I don’t know how this happend, i was putting my socks on when i noticed it!!
Looks as if i spilled hot water over it
Tehran parks
Parks are scattered all around Teharn, these parks are very nice and well organized, and almost like the ones you see in Europe but without the Euro trash…you could easily spend half a day at any either by playing sports, working out, walking, or by just setting on a bench enjoying the scenery and watching the Iranians romancing and enjoying life simple pleasures.
Skiing at Tochal
I finally did it and woke up at 6 am, the roads were empty and it only took us 20 min to reach Tochal, the weather was sunny and nice….from there we took the Tele-Cabin for another 30min..up and down..up and down…up and down to the ski slopes, i was surprised to see young European tourists there but i guess when ur into some kind of a sport you take the extra mile to try something different.
Bowling
Ok…i couldn’t wake up early to go skiing yesterday -we have time are here tell Sunday-, so we decided to go Bowling at Enqhelab Sport Complex.
The Complex is inside a huge green park, in it is a Golf Course, roller skating ring, like 20 TennisSquash courses, basketball, football, and every think that have the word ball in it, a game arcade, and a 24 aisle Bowling alley, the complex also houses the Olympic Center..the park is huge we managed to see only part of it and i was told that there is a lot more than the above.
You can spend a whole day easily there, if your are not into sports like me you can just walk around relax and enjoy the scenery.
Daily Dose
It’s 10am i just finshed breakfast and having my morning buzz, i was supposed wake up early to avoid the traffic going to Tushal…but u know what they say:
El noum sultan.
I have to look for Rida our guied we met yesturday and he speaks Arabic.
I also have to go and try to find a USB adapter for the memory card, I forgot the camera cable in Kuwait and i can’t post any of the photos am taking with the camera.
Am using the iphone to post 🙁 .
Waiting for the Visa
Tip number 1: Get your Visa from the embaccy, i have been waiting for 30 min -and still waiting- to get one at the Airport.
Posted from my iPhone thru a free WiFi conection at Tehran Airport.!!
Well..at least they have Internet access 🙂
What A Contrast
I posted about the trip i was supposed to do during Eid to the UK and then to Amsterdam, but that did not go as planned, and for the past week i was working on an alternative.
I always wanted to visit the so called “Axis of Evil” countries and had a plan to start with Cuba first, then North Korea and so on…i guess starting with Iran is a minor change.
I booked the tickets online and now i have to find a hotel in Tehran, i was advised to look for at least 5 star hotels as anything less than that is a 2 star in international standards.
