Don't get me wrong I like a break, but I would much rather have three day weekends for most of the year than a week off here and a week off there. This time I was also really enjoying my work before the holiday so I am looking forward to going back on Monday to carry it on.

Lol it looks like I can't say anything innocent here anymore can I? :laugh: Actually all I'm doing is working on an entry level customisation of one of our products. One of the suggestions that's been made is to increase the size of the toolbar buttons (as there are so many fewer of them and it'll be running on a small display), so I'm doing the groundwork for conditionally adding text to the toolbars which will be available in the product. The silly part comes if you turn annotations on for all 7 toolbars in the app...:rolleyes: Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

It depends on which country you go. In Iran unfortunately , at least women have to wear a scarf and mantue , but I don't think it would be so much hard for a short travel , cause I see so many foreign torrist which accept it , this cause the best seasons for travelling here become spring and fall. Most(not all) of Islamic country like this. But those are not like this are not as historic as Iran or have so many places to visit like Iran. Megan Forbes wrote: There seems to be very little info on travelling to places like Iran as well - a pity, so much history to discover You are right. Iran is between top 10 historic country , so imagine mow many place you could visit inside Iran and it would take so many weeks to finish it. But because of Islamic government they don't advertise for them. Also we have very very different climates in Iran which cause different part of Iran have various nature. Well if you come here you will have a guidance which will be glad to show his country to you. His name is Mazy. ;-) . Forget about clothing , it worth to visit Iran. :-) Mazy "I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts." - Albert Einstein

Forget about clothing , it worth to visit Iran Thanks Mazy, I'd really love to come actually. And I'd have no problems wearing clothes which would keep people happy either - but at the same time I don't want to dress in traditional clothing and insult people :). We always laugh like crazy when tourists come to South Africa and wear safari suits :-D On a more general basis, are things like car hire available in Iran? Would someone on a British or South African passport have problems getting a visa? Although our travels are pretty much sorted for the next year or so, I would be genuinely interested in visiting Iran and seeing all the ancient history you have there :).

Locate all of the security cameras you can, then do whatever you must to reach each one and emplace a smudgy thumb print on the lens. If anyone questions you, you're a security consultant doing a quarterly inspection. Alternatively, you could buy a book and hang out in the bar. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Different part of Iran have different traditional cloths but the more we go into modern country , less people use them. Megan Forbes wrote: are things like car hire available in Iran? Yes , I think there are so many of them but I've never use them so I will ask for you to get sure. Because recently our country attract more torrist , we have something like these services. Megan Forbes wrote: Would someone on a British or South African passport have problems getting a visa? Well , as long as we have good relationship with these countries there is no problem.I've never seen anybody from South Africa here but there are so many British citizen. Generally there is no problem with that. And here there are two links for your information about Iran. But don't forget , one thing which western people enjoy more than historical places , is way of living and culture of people in Iran. You will never find a link about it. You have to only live some days with them to enjoy it. http://www.iranmiras.org/en_site/Home_E.asp[^] http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/middle_east/iran/[^] Hope it helps and see you here soon. If you need any other information just let me know. :-) Mazy "I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts." - Albert Einstein

By the way, first link that I gave you is an Iranian web site. Most of Iranian web sites are UNSTANDARD and very hard to follow or uselless. Sorry for that. :-) Mazy "I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts." - Albert Einstein

Megan Forbes

Thanks Mazy - I'll spend some time going through the info :cool:
