Welcome to the Islamic Republic!

Well, not really, but at least it was an eyeopener for me. Iran remains one of those countries to constantly get beaten by the stick by pretty much all western news agencies. I have since learnt to take everything I read and watch with a heavy dose of salt.

Meh... readers beware. I originally started this log to keep my mother up to date during a longer trip, but I quickly realized I wasn't about to waste my precious time off by sitting in some shady Internet café updating a blog nobody will read anyway. Nowadays it is more of a personal nostalgia and ego thing, but by all means, feel free to enjoy the speculations and hybris which will no doubt get reality checked soon enough. I will add older travel logs as time permits.... full info
