Not yet, but I'd *really* love to! Actually - perhaps you could tell me, if I were to come to an Eastern country, and wear my normal clothing (jeans, shorts, etc) would people be insulted? There seems to be very little info on travelling to places like Iran as well - a pity, so much history to discover :(

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 :).

:omg: Where do you work?! Of course my office has got a window. I don't think there is a room without windows in this building - except the cellar, but there are no offices, only poor old servers. My window is on the southern side. In summer it becomes too warm in here, but today it is only very bright daylight :)
Corinna John wrote: Where do you work?! In the middle of the building. All of the windows (and there aren't that many) are inside private offices. I have to make a concerted effort to even know whether it's raining, sunny, snowing, tornado, aliens landing, etc. Sometimes, I draw a picture of the sun on my whiteboard, but my yellow marker ran out so now it's green.

Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Stay in the cyber cafe and keep browsing CP? I believe plane-spotting is no longer considered a respectable sport :sigh:

The weekend has almost arrived, just a few hours to go.... :jig: The question is, how do we get through those few hours? Any clever ideas for getting through the rest of the day? Today's Dilbert[^] was a good start, but what now?

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.

Meg's World - Blog PhotographyBy 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.

Don't you have anything to read? Try to get a paper/pen or a notebook computer, and write the stuff you would like to read now. Write a novel, an article, a letter to the universe... :-D (I still have a couple of never-finished novels, because the boring hours were over before my story was finished.)
