Via Istanbul to TEHRAN

Do, 25.8: Uwe benachrichtigt mich, das ich morgen Freitag unser Visum in Wien abholen kann!

Fr, 26.8 um 13:00: Juhuuu - ich halte unser Visum in Händen ... zurück in die Steiermark! Ich verabschiede mich von meinen Lieben und meine Mama fährt mit mir gemeinsam nach Rottenmann. Dort gibt's bei Oma+Opa SCHWEINSBRATEN und dann geht's los - Uwe und ich fahren mit dem Zug nach Salzburg!
Mein Cousin = Uwe's Bruder Mario und Mely holen uns ab wir lassen den Abend gemütlich ausklingen ... mit Radler, Chips und Schokokeks *DANKESCHÖN*
Tropennacht ... eine der heißesten des Jahres und da schlafen wir natürlich auf dem Balkon *loving it*

Sa, 27.8: Mario chauffiert uns netterweise zum Flughafen und von dort fliegen wir erstmal nach Istanbul :)

... in front of the BOSPORUS-bridge ...

in Asia for the afternoon, watching the sunset in Europe :)


delicious turkish breakfast by Mehmet for Europe :) *thank you so much*

ISTANBUL ... as seen from a hill above quaint Eyup



SALAM TEHRAN


Iranian qalyan ... smoking waterpipe is a traditional leisure activity here!



This progressive, determined young lady is hosting us in Tehran and tells us some interesting details about the regime and how she perceives it - thank you very much for your hospitality !!!


Woman on a mission - she hosted us during our last two days in Tehran ... thx for sharing your experiences with the regime!!

... apartment in Tehran ... looks quite like Vienna, Paris, London - doesn't it?!



 Eating a sheep's head for BREAKY ;)


Construction work going on in Tehran ... this "backwardness", this state of underdevelopment is due to economic sanctions ... an embargo that is not harming the regime so much as it is harming the people :(((

PORK sausage and Russian VODKA in the middle of TEHRAN - can that be true?? YESSSS, it is!

Surprise - surprise ... this country is just soooo different from whatever we think to know - 
MEDIA IS MANIPULATING US - BE AWARE OF IT !!!

That is how people dress in TEHRAN ... progressive men&women, standing up for democracy!!




Cultural Week at the parks of the last Sha's residence ... we learn about the eastern Iranian lifestyle.





Going South from Tehran to YAZD ... see next blog entry...
 ... I LOVE THE GOLDEN SUNSETS here ...
