Travel Blogs from Tehran, Iran
Thankyou everyone
This is a top pick! Thank you everyone for your genuine interest and support of the Pod diary and the overwhelming response to my chat with Macca this morning. He has a great show and I love to chime in with the lady who says: "Well I love it". I hope to have another ...
Our First Trip to Tehran
This is a top pick! ... porcelain, western toilet! As it was still early in the day we made enquiries at the desk where we might catch a train to Tehran. It would take 3 transfers to different trains to get to Tehran so we were advised to take a taxi, we thought if we ...
The start of my Iran Adventure
This is a top pick! I arrived in Iran on the 8th and was met with smiling faces by many in the airport including Bernard's friend, Bahman, who drove me to the Atlas Hotel. The city was very clean but the traffic was busy. Like other countries I have visited, ...
Got the Indian Visas!
This is a top pick! ... people who did not like or welcome westerners. Just the opposite is true. There are over 75 million people in Iran, 7 million of whom live in Tehran. We have had quite a few rides in the taxis in and around Tehran and find them quick, cheap and ...
We can do it too!
This is a top pick! ... and call out what he was looking for. The fact that both drivers were driving, meant very little. I think the drivers in Tehran are very experienced at giving way, being patient and pushing into a very small opening in the traffic. We began the ...
Big and crazy
This is a top pick! ... is made of rubies!! I really enjoyed it. There is only one room but we spent over two hours there! If I was in Tehran again, I'd go there. I love staring at sparkly jewellery. Luckily lunch had been good and I wasn't hungry so we found a fast food ...
Gifts from Iran
This is a top pick! ... a Chinese travel agent, but without any success in any area. Maybe we'll try again in New Dehli. We only have permission to stay in Iran for 10 days because we did not buy an Iranian Number plate which is about $60US. So, we must leave here by Monday 4th ...
Pollutionsville
This is a top pick! Once again, we jumped on a bus and headed towards Tehran. The first thing the bus boy did was to give us all biscuits and orange juice. This comes in a bag which doubles as a spew bag. That was breakfast. We then drove up a mountain and then down the same ...
Sometimes it´s nice being subliminal
Battling a cloud of tiredness having barely slept last night, I managed, and just in time to get my and Klara´s arse to the cinema. More often than not, when I watch a film, or any television programme that involves the bombardment of ...
Getting settled
... him English I have my own room and a fridge full of food. His house is a considerable distance from work and the area of Tehran where I spend most of my time, but its a place to stay. I've met many interesting characters recently, most memorable is ...
Poker, pizza and public transport.
... sitting his life out. Rather than his usual course of action doing dentistry in London he has been meandering between the Ukraine and Iran. Last night was our turn to have him, but due to his early morning arrival his presence did not become apparent ...
Writing in a state of fatuous euphoria
Wow it has been yonks since I have written anything, finding motivation for putting pen to paper or in this case finger to keyboard is sometimes a little problematic. Nevertheless, here I am writing. I'm never really sure when writing, to start from the ...
Life continued
Life has its ups and downs and I’ve experienced both recently. My Farsi is advancing from the equivalent of a 2 year old child’s to a 3 year old’s and many other things are looking rather positive. I have a steady enough stream of ...
Embassy time
... my passport for a day and after exchanging more money should recieve my visa. Thats the theory anyway, it means at least a week in Tehran. All I have to do now is try to extend my Iranian visa, easier said then done when the office is only opened for an ...
'Fenglish, now that fun English'
I started the morning by phoning the bank through skype, the only problem that this brilliant piece of software seems to have overlooked is when you need to select menu options by pressing numbers on your phone. I was left cursing at the screen and ...
Milkshakes, malls and motors
... two milkshakes. Ahhh good times. Ohhh and the reason for the mention of cars in the title. There are a lot of them in Tehran and we were stuck in traffic for eternity. The main reason though is Nazanin's adrenaline inducing driving, God it was fun. ...
Malls, Iranian style.
The last few days have been been characterised by change. My resting place has varied between Zara's, the floor of the language institute and Ali's house. Sleeping in a bookshop was actually a very enjoyable experience and the smell of books aided me in ...
Abject fear
... had not stayed in somewhere long enough to get a feel for it or to become close to people. I had an idea, why not teach English in Iran?! Once I get an idea in my head there tends to be a snowball effect. The next day I visited the language ...
Visa malarky
Today had been a long time coming, I had been fearing that my visa extension would be refused, that I would have to leave the country immediately and that I would leave feeling empty and visualising what could have been. Walking to the embassy was likely ...
My new family
I woke up to a text message explaining that Amin's car was broken, he wouldn't be able to meet me. For some reason I had been expecting hiccups in this department and this news did not really surprise me. I left the house with Emma and Sebastian but ...
Tabriz to Tehran
... be one that we forget in a while. We stayed with Iman and his wonderful family for almost our entire month in Iran: from Karaj to Tehran; Isfahan to Shiraz; Rafsanjan to Kish; we were rarely without the help of a Haghighi family member or friend. ...
Cynicism
... described as an infatuated whelp upon seeing me. I chose to not try and translate the noise. We then circled around Tehran aimlessly for a while, periodically experiencing the feeling of an imminent crash, yet, somehow escaping from the jaws of roadside ...
Chilling in the city
The last few days have been an amalgamation of different emotions. Comfort, despair, happiness, laughter, the list goes on. I decided that I wanted to teach English here so I visited a local language school. The place is phenomenal, the boss is ...
Utknelismy w Teheranie!!!
Dzięki poznanej w Zanjan Irance zdobyliśmy kontakt do Saida, który miał się nami zaopiekować w Teheranie. Po drobnych problemach komunikacyjnych związanych z angielskim Saida (przy okazji 1szy raz kupiliśmy kartę ...
„Zaćmiony” Teheran i walka o rial
Nastepnego dnia ruszylismy po odbior wizy indyjskiej, ale okazalo sie, ze w zwiazku z zanieczyszczonym przez kurz powietrzem wszystkie instytucje panstwowe (wlacznie z bankami) maja wolne, a my w portfelu mielismy tylko 1000 R (a do oplacania jeszcze ...
Crazy horses...
... day today apart from being followed by the spectre of death everywhere we went. We woke up in the quiet little town between Tabriz and Tehran with only about 70 miles left to get to the city. I guess it would have been a more interesting story if we'd ...
Afghanistan
... ;heavy feeling in the bottom of my stomach. The provisional plan is this, to make my way to Mashad in North-Eastern Iran and then continue overland through Herat and onto Kabul. All being well, I will have my Visa in hand this Tuesday, and ...
My arrival in Tehran
... obtain a visa. She has been unemployed for three years. After a delicious soup she took me to Tajrish Square. This part of Tehran is very affluent and boy it showed. Most zomen were plastered i make up and many of them sported a pointy upturned nose. ...
