Hello, I like your blog, it's very nice! If you ever go back to the Kurdistan region, you should visit the city Mahabad. It's a very nice city and I'm sure you would enjoy it. BTW...you look very nice in the Mahabadi clothing!

glow in the dark lion eyes
Hi Yuki-Jen, I was in Isfahan earlier this month and saw the eerie "eyes" of those lions at the Khaju brigde. I was able to impress my family when I pointed the eyes out to them! :-) I think its two depressions near their fangs which glow from being polished and perhaps from the oil of visitors hands.

Enjoyed your writing
Yuki, what a great travel log to a place I'll probably never get to visit. You capture the beauty and mystery of such a magic land. The photos were wonderful too.

Thank you!
I had forgotten your blog, then stumbled back on it when I reopened my account: I'm off again myself, back to Central Europe. Thank you for sharing this with us, and letting us see what a wonderful, warm country lies behind the new Iron Curtain.

Thank you girl
As an Iranian i have to thank you for the depth of your observation. Very few foreigners have this sharp mind to see the realities beyond shadows...and you do! Take care

Wow Yuki...
It is amazing to hear that you say, "(well, we learned it from the Persians)". As an Persian Zoroastrian, I am very flattered to hear you say that. I do always have had a deep respect for the Japanese culture and people. I felt that there is a connection.

Dear Friend, Thanks very much for sharing your pictures which represent your view of Iran. It may sound greedy, but if you have more pictures please post them. I have gone through all of this blog and looked at every picture posted.

mysteries of Isfahan
Hi Yuki-Jen. I've seen these lions many times, but never would have known their secret. Next time I'll pay better attention! Same goes for the peacock. Did you see the tomb of the American orientalist (I believe Arthur U. Pope) and his wife in the north side of the Khaju bridge? Perhaps another secret of Isfahan! Another is a sundial in the Shah (Imam) mosque, the dome in the Shah mosque which give up to seven echos when someone stands directly underneath it and claps, ...

Yuki-Jen, you've definitely done your homework and gathered information which at times are quite spectacular! The play of light and the mysterious disappearing-peacock in Sheikh lutfollah Mosque, the magic numbers and their reappearnce throut the ages, the glittery eyed lions of Khaju Bridge... portray far more than what the casual tourist (not that there are many of them these days) would have to tell us about a city such as esfahan.

safety for women travellers
I have heard that Iran is safe for woman travelers too. However, I thought I should point out that your information is incorrect in saying that only one foreign woman was raped in Iran since the 80s. A friend of mine was recently travelling through Iran and was sadly attacked and raped by two men. Although, in fairness, it must be said that they were illegal Afghani refugees, not Iranian men. Still, statistics can be misleading.

Aviation archaeology part IX
Just an odd note about the Boeing 747SP. One of the great charms of Iran Air is that the U.S. embargo on planes and spares have resulted in a fairly exotic fleet of really old birds. Count yourself lucky to be among the priviledged to ride the SP (intended as a long haul version), a dying breed of which only some 15-20 are still flying.

Persian
non-member comment
Hi. Nice peace. "Farsi" is the native name for Persian and the correct English name for the language is Persian not "Farsi". It is not right to use "Farsi" in an English text as much as it is wrong to write: "I speak Italiano". Take care.
