Bacheye khoobe jonoob
by Azam Nemati14-Oct-2009
The year 2009 had begun with so much hope for me because I was glad Obama was elected (I had prayed for 4 years that he runs and get elected). However; the bad economy cut in pay, and the overall situation in the world since 2008,affected me as well, so the possibility of going to Iran seemed unlikely. Well, the bacheye khoobe jonoob (the good kid from the south) in me had to find a way to go to Iran. I had cried hard while glued to TV during post election in Iran. I tightened my bell anyway I could, and even began to ride the train. I was so anxious I screwed up and bought my ticket not realizing the time I was allowed to go was beginning of Ramadan so I had to pay $300 fine because switching flights and days is the same as canceling!

by MRX1 on Thu Oct 15, 2009 09:18 AM PDTpictures of bazzars amd/or stores that can litteraly be any where in iran or for that matter any where in mideast....Actualy you coud have taken these pictures twenty years a go and it will probably still look the same. good to know all that oil revenue does not get to people much.
pictures of people that no one with an exception the person who took the pictures know.
I say If you take pictures and put it on the web sites for starngers to see, take pictures of some things unique ( nature, historical buildings,musuemes, war, etc..)
Thank you
