The last couple of days spent in Iran were spent in Teheran and they were pretty full … on one hand I wanted to buy some more carpets (and I found them next to the bazaar for a few Euros) but also to visit what was left for visiting…On top of that, we had a huge surprise in a bookstore that had books in English. read more…
Ok, I am recovered from all these Teheran diamonds! I take another look at Lonely Planet and I decide. Let’s go to the Azadi tower! Nothing simpler. I stop a taxi, I tell him where we want to go, we haggle over the price a little and off we go towards the Azadi tower. read more…
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.

It goes without saying that Canada is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. No matter where you are in the second-largest country in the world, there is never a shortage of breathtaking sights to be seen.
Defined by its lush tea plantations, misty hills, gushing streams, cascading waterfalls and salubrious weather, Munnar is a picture-perfect hill station in the Kerala state of India. It draws not only domestic tourists but hordes of international holidaymakers as well, who come for a respite from the scorching South Indian heat and to feast their […]
Who among us hasn’t come home after a long, hard day at work and said “Man, I need a vacation.” Unfortunately, we don’t always have the time or the money for a full-blown getaway.
