Sad faces that stare out at you of men in uniform, with roses and butterflies, rainbows and tulips, to show that they are now in Paradise.
I wouldn't call them my favourite thing but they haunt you and you don't forget them easily. Leave a Comment

It can be difficult to meet other women in Iran, or to get any idea of their lives, unless you already know somebody there. One easy way that will give you a small insight into a private woman's world is to book yourself a manicure or, even better after all the footslog of sight-seeing, a pedicure, at a local salon. Here, in their own domain, you will see women relaxing with other women. You'll provide them with entertainment so you'll pay your way, the treatment will cost you very little, just a couple of dollars, your hands or feet will feel great, and you might make a new friend.
Go to a local place though, one that local women frequent.

More murals -this time of the late Ayatollah Khomeini and other religious leaders. This custom of portraying their leaders in this way comes as a surpise in such a emphatically Islamic state. But there they are, some stern, some benevolent, on the sides of buildings and on huge billboards around the city. Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, David developed an angry rash the day we arrived in Tehran, but at least it meant we were able to sample the delights of the Iranian health system. Never again will I say that western health services are the best! This was Iranian ‘hospitality’ at its best.
At 06:00 I took David down to the reception of the hotel, to enquire about seeing a doctor. One of the staff hailed a taxi for us, and explained to the taxi driver where to take us. At the 24 hour emergency ward, we were immediately seen by a nurse, who took his blood pressure, pulse and temperature. As soon as she had finished, a doctor was available to see him. Whilst he was examining David, a nurse beckoned me over to the desk – there was a phone call for me: the receptionist from the hotel checking that we got there OK, that we were being seen by a doctor and if there was anything else we needed, to let him know. David was given some steroid and antihistamine tablets as well as some steroid cream. We collected the prescription and arranged for a taxi back to the hotel. We were gone for exactly an hour. Last time I attended A&E in my home town of Bristol, we were there for six hours!
The doctor we saw spoke excellent English, and suggested that David would benefit from seeing a specialist, and arranged for an appointment – at 14:00 that same day! In Bristol you would be lucky to be able to see a consultant the same year, let alone the same day!
The whole process, including a general doctor, a specialist and three lots of medicines, cost us around $10. We were extremely impressed with the medical service in Iran, and very relived when David’s rash got better after a few days. He never did find out exactly what it was, all the doctor could say was a severe allergic reaction. We’ll never know what he reacted to. Leave a Comment

Damavand is a towering volcano just 45 miles northeast of Teheran, near the Southern coast of the Caspian Sea. It is surrounded by the smaller and comparatively rugged peaks of the Elburz range, but its great height and classic volcanic shape, unique to the region, grant it dominance and isolation.
Damavand has not erupted in historical times, though occasional steam and sulfur gases exude from the top. The view from the summit is an amazing panorama of Iran's vast expanse of mountains, valleys, and deserts. Leave a Comment

Upon his return from Europe, after visiting several museums and art galleries, Nassereddin Shah decided to establish similar sites in his Palace. He had exterior building destroyed and new ones built on the northwestern wing of Golestan Palace next to the Ivory Hall. These included the lobby, the Mirror Hall and the Museum Room, later known as the Grand Hall or even Grand Throne Room, ever since the Peacock Throne was moved there and the room begun being used for official and state ceremonies. It was in this room, after the modifications, that took place the Coronation of the Shah and Empress Farah in 1967. Leave a Comment
