Foreign Friends Part 2

16 Juli 2011 | Iran, Tehrān
Dear followers, hereby we would like to give you a brief update of our journey so far.
Since we left home we did visit many countries. The main topics of our trip are Romania, Turkey and Iran. All three these countries are believed to be dangerous and intolerant to foreigners, as it is written in the newspaper.
Dear people, this cannot be further from the truth.
In Romania we have seen an amazing country which has had many difficulties in the past but now it is climbing up very rapidly. The normal people like us are ultimate friendly and they gave us a very warm welcome. We promised ourselves that we would return to Romania in the near future.
Turkey also surprised us in a positive way. The country is very clean and has many tourist attractions. In combination with many amazing landscapes it all together gave us a unforgettable good memory.. Further to the East we met the Kurdish People which are said to be trouble makers. We spent about one week with the Kurdish People, and we have absolutely no clue why the Kurdish should be trouble makers. We could not find any sign in that direction. Their hospitality did not come to an end and we do have many good memories of this part of Turkey.
Iran was the most worrying part of our trip. If we had to believe all the negative advises we got during the preparation of this trip, we would have stayed at home. Dear people, again, this can not be further from the truth.
Yes we were a little suspicious during the first day, especially when we met the border mafia between Turkey and Iran. Once we were in, a new world came to us. We have seen many amazing historical sites of which the beauty is beyond this writing. Tabriz, Esfahan, Qom are historical pearls, but the other cities we visited had their own beauty which can easily be compared to any modern city in Western Europe. The Iranian people are just amazing and they surprised us a lot. We could never have imagined that the Iranians would treat us like Kings. They even spoiled us.
Within a few days we will leave Iran an are heading forward to Kyrgistan. By the time we arrive there we will give you a new update in English.
For this moment we would like to thank you for your attention and wishing you a good night.
