Iran


Modern day Iran is influenced by happenings from Persia to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Chadors, bootleg liquor, Shariah law, the underground rock scene, blue and white tiled mosques, the internet, censored media, poetry, prayer.... make up Irans political and social patchwork, making Iran more of an experience than many may expect.

Ultra easy going and charmingly hospitable Iranians, along with almost tout free travel make Iran, despite certain restrictions, a surprisingly peaceful and enjoyable destination.

November 10th 2009  Middle East » Iran » North » Tehran

The Persian Gulf
October 30th 2009  Middle East » Iran » South » Bandar Abbas
For a day and a half I was by the Persian Gulf, in the south of Iran. Here there was a marked liberal air, in relation to the rest of Iran, of course. Clothing was more colourful, women's ankles were ... [full story]

The Making of the Forth Persian Empire
October 19th 2009  Middle East » Iran » South » Shiraz
"Iran? But it's dangerous there!" That was the common response I got when I told people that I will be visiting Iran, or land of Aryans. The truth cannot be any further from that statement. True, s ... 24 photos [full story]
