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.
