I went with Rabea to Markaz Abdulaziz Hussain Al Thakafi yesterday to attend the performance of the Roudaki Iranian Group, we were there at around 7:45….. the theater was already full and we couldn’t find a place to sit so we ended up siting on the stairs, the show started at around 8:10 and a lot of people had to watch it standing up.
It was a very nice evening which we enjoyed, unfortunately i missed the opening show on the 22ed but the festival is running thru Jan 14th and still there are a some more interesting shows to attend …so don’t hesitate if you have the time.
I got back this morning and went strait to the office..the trip was really exciting, and the best part is that you get to see and feel the real thing, watching, reading, and listing to the media can be very very deceiving…i was really impressed how the country is well developed, clean -no litter, very polluted thou- and how its people work hard to make a living…
People from all around the world come to do business..am gussing i was the only tourist at the hotel, it was full of business people and you can hear their conversations while in the lobby having coffee.. its all about business deals
We left the hotel to have dinner at Ghahve Khaneh & Sofre Khaneh Rah Ahan , as we were going out of the hotel looking for a taxi..an old man sitting in the passenger seat of a 30 years old Renault 5 waves to us and asks us if we need a taxi, we say yes and hand him the address of the restaurant..he asks us to read it for him because he can’t see clearly !!!
Parks are scattered all around Teharn, these parks are very nice and well organized, and almost like the ones you see in Europe but without the Euro trash…you could easily spend half a day at any either by playing sports, working out, walking, or by just setting on a bench enjoying the scenery and watching the Iranians romancing and enjoying life simple pleasures.
I finally did it and woke up at 6 am, the roads were empty and it only took us 20 min to reach Tochal, the weather was sunny and nice….from there we took the Tele-Cabin for another 30min..up and down..up and down…up and down to the ski slopes, i was surprised to see young European tourists there but i guess when ur into some kind of a sport you take the extra mile to try something different.
Ok…i couldn’t wake up early to go skiing yesterday -we have time are here tell Sunday-, so we decided to go Bowling at Enqhelab Sport Complex.
The Complex is inside a huge green park, in it is a Golf Course, roller skating ring, like 20 Tennis\Squash courses, basketball, football, and every think that have the word ball in it, a game arcade, and a 24 aisle Bowling alley, the complex also houses the Olympic Center..the park is huge we managed to see only part of it and i was told that there is a lot more than the above.
You can spend a whole day easily there, if your are not into sports like me you can just walk around relax and enjoy the scenery.
It’s 10am i just finshed breakfast and having my morning buzz, i was supposed wake up early to avoid the traffic going to Tushal…but u know what they say:
El noum sultan.
I have to look for Rida our guied we met yesturday and he speaks Arabic.
I also have to go and try to find a USB adapter for the memory card, I forgot the camera cable in Kuwait and i can’t post any of the photos am taking with the camera.
Am using the iphone to post .
I posted about the trip i was supposed to do during Eid to the UK and then to Amsterdam, but that did not go as planned, and for the past week i was working on an alternative.
I always wanted to visit the so called “Axis of Evil“ countries and had a plan to start with Cuba first, then North Korea and so on…i guess starting with Iran is a minor change.
I booked the tickets online and now i have to find a hotel in Tehran, i was advised to look for at least 5 star hotels as anything less than that is a 2 star in international standards.
The Fiat Yamaha rider has had an almost flawless season at the halfway point of the 2010 campaign. Leader of the Championship the 23 year-old has demonstrated a consistency in the first nine races that has made him the favourite for the title.
Mark Webber dominated the final session of practice prior to Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying, finishing the hour 0.484s ahead of Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel whose final three efforts to unseat him came up short. Webber's lap of 1m 19.574s struck terror into the hearts of rivals, and just to rub their noses in it, Vettel's lap of 1m 20.058s […]
Team principals: Eric Boullier (Renault), Stefano Domenicali (Ferrari), Christian Horner (Red Bull) and Colin Kolles (HRT). Q: First of all, can we have a run-down of how things have gone today. Colin, would you like to start. Colin Kolles: Well, we had some technical issues but we managed to go through the programmes. I think that Sakon (Yamamoto) did a goo […]
