Teheran IR

Teheran is big!! It is a capital. The second one in this trip. The layer of pollution above Teheran thickens during day time. From up to the hill, you can see: At 7am, it's still clear, then 8am the grey layer appears, at 9am, the layer really sets, at 10am it gets thicker then 11am, thicker and brown... etc...

The main purpose was to make the Indian visa. Some clever people do it before leaving their home country... but it was much more complicated, then fun ;-) to do it here! It took 2 weeks.

As Iran is the country of guests, it was not difficult to find couches (through CouchSurfing network). Indeed, in big cities, people are always busy with their crazy life, have many couchsurfers requests and most of the time, don't even politely answer to the request saying no. They just don't give a sh..! Here, in Teheran, when you send 3 requests, you get 3 positive answers. Isn't it great for travelers?

I had sooooo nice time with Hamid, Salimeh and Saba, tasting great food, cooking some too, hiking Bronik cave, learning more about Iran culture, and even, Hamid and me getting angry at the society and government sillinesses. I also thank Beni and her great music. The next time I am in Teheran, I know where to go :-)

 

La famille au complet dans la cave ! Yavait pas de vin, une fois de plus...

Discussion engagée sur les dernières décisions politiques

Bon,on voit rien, mais c'était juste pour frimer ! On est 1300m au dessus de Teheran (déjà à 1400m d'altitude). Oui,Teheran a ses propres montagnes, station de ski et tout ! à 30min du centre, c'est fou ! Encore plus prêt que Chamrousse !
