Our second day in Teheran. If yesterday it was a bit cloudy and ugly, during today’s morning I could see a beautiful sun. I went down to breakfast where the war against the Americans was forgotten when it came to coffee – the coffee brand was… Americafe… … read more
You cannot take a walk trough Teheran without noticing the countless mural pictures. The majority depicts Imam Khomeini or the others Ayatollahs, lots of martyrs from the Iran- Iraq war, but also anti- American pictures.
One of the most popular travel offers which popped up from the brain of the travel marketers across Europe and not only, in the last decade is the idea of “city break”… Targeting people with jobs and careers who would like to escape a bit from their usual weekends to discover new destinations… Usually, people enjoy these city breaks in fall and spring between their summer seaside holidays and winter skiing escapes (or Christmas – New Year breaks). Paris, London, Rome or Barcelona are full with these city breakers during these normally off-season months… But have you ever considered doing a city break in Romania, as well ? I guess few of you… maybe because Romania is not so well-known, maybe you don’t know what you can visit here… and why you should do a city break in Romania… So, that’s why I want to present a few of the cities which can delight you !
What goes through your head when somebody tells you about Iran? Probably bearded men with gunshots (although this image is much more typical for the neighboring Afghanistan), women with veils, bearded Ayatollahs, crowds that whip themselves … Well, this is pretty much what’s to be seen on the TV. Oh well, thanks God, there’s also talk about the Iranian nuclear bomb, but this is usually without TV footage. Instead once you reach Tehran, you’ll discover a modern country (maybe one of the most modern countries in the Far East with the exception of the Petrol Golf), an extremely friendly and welcoming nation of people (maybe one of the most hospitable in this world that I have ever rarely met) with a passion that is unequaled in the world for classic culture (please tell me the country where 700 years old poets are worshiped like super stars and anyone on the streets can recite entire pages out of their verses), a country that is extremely clean (there is no comparison to their Arab neighbors from the west), finally you’ll have a big surprise.

Paris has a special place somewhere in my heart. It was one of my first trips that I did when I was a student in Holland and a trip like this can only remain somewhere in a corner of my most loved memories…I discovered Paris on Christmas, I have been to Paris during summer and spring time, but also in the fall… I have strolled at night on the Champs Élysées and I have climbed on the Eiffel tower at day time and at night time…I have enjoyed the poetry of the mornings in front of the Notre Dame, but also the ugly autumn rains on the Seine…So Paris couldn’t have missed from this series of information and tips in order to make your trip to the capital of France cheaper and more pleasant 🙂 … read more
