Random observations

There are a lot of feral cats in Iran.

The breakfast served in hotels invariably consists of tomatoes, cucumber, white cheese like a mild feta, flatbread and a fried egg.

There is a huge number of barber shops and all seem to be very well patronised. A high proportion of young men are always very sharply coiffed. Unfortunately, one of the favoured styles is a sort of Bay City Rollers job.

Clothes shops for both men and women use very many dummies to display the clothes - often a long line of them down one side of the shop. These always seem to have european faces. Men's shops often try to localise them by adding a little beard or colouring the hair. The result is usually reminiscent of George Michael.


I've described before the deep water-channel between road and pavement. Today we saw a car which had misjudged its parking angle - an expensive mistake.

There are very few proper restaurants in Iran, but a vast number of fast food establishments. This may be different in Teheran.

I've had enough Iranian traditional music to last me a while.
