Iran & Iranians in Bogota

Photo essay: Iranian businesses in Colombia

by Jahanshah Javid
08-Jul-2012
 
I got a chance to see several Iranian shop owners in Bogota. They number less than a hundred, but are well-established and happy. Video clips: Iranians in Colombia, King of Qalyoons, Qalamkar textile from Islafahan, Achamenid figures.

The best photo essay among all your Colombia photo essays! The 3 videos are very cool, too!

Every photo is so Persian! The rug store is absolutely gorgeous! They must have shipped the Persian tiles piece by piece from Iran to build this authentic Persian Carpet store!

Thank you for posting all these nice photos! The photo essay made my day!

At last, one "positive impact" of Islamist regime!

Today, you can hardly travel to any corner of the globe and not see an "iranian community"! Before the revolution, I've been told, Iranians would go to US/Europe to study and would mostly go back home after finishing their studies. Today, 34 years after the ilsamic take over of our land, everyone seems to want to get the hell out of Iran. Not least regime supporters with money, and their fak o family!

Thanks for the nice pictures.
