During my other days in Tehran, I took a number of relaxing walks around the city and visited with some wonderful friends.  I was also hoping to return to a teahouse I went to during my first visit.  Back then I met with the owner and had a very nice time “Thanks so much for the photo of Takhti!”.  However, after a few hours wandering around the downtown area, we had no luck finding the shop and I was resigned to the fact it was probably closed due to NoRooz.  “Guess...

Tehran is a large and interesting city of contrasts.  It is also the home of my specials friends who I hope to visit again one day soon.

My two complete weeks in Iran cost me USD450 excluding international and domestic airfares.  Half of that was accommodation as I wasn’t exactly roughing it … I involuntarily had 3 nights in a 4-star establishment including breakfast!    Domestic airfares are quite cheap at less than USD30 per flight.  So I had six of those!   Iran is very much a cash society despite having ATMs and credit cards now, foreign-issued cards are totally useless.  When cashing...

Now this is what traveling is about! A land truly like no other. A nation so fully regulated you cant even Google the word ‘kiss’, yet with the right contacts, can pretty much do anything you want. Fantastic food, friendly people, exotic women, hijab-raising driving habits. Jump onto the flying carpet!

Having survived a series of snowstorms in the foothills of eastern Turkey, I find myself in Tehran aboard a bus full of itinerant travelers as myself. I check into the Amir Kabir hotel which is a one star, or in the case of Iran, a one Lion hotel situated in an alley  replete with automobile repair shops. Grimy cafes lining the backstreets.. It is the place to hang out if your on the world tour plan. No shortage of like-thinking compatriots and it is easy to find. Look for the body...

This is my Bog Blog! Call them whatever you like: dunnies, pissers, gravy bowls, pissoirs, porcelain caves, potties, loos, crappers, dumpers, shitters, outhouses, throne, bogs, longdrops, WC's. As much as we dont want to think about it, even good looking girls have to crap every day! The vast array of toilets in the world have fascinated me for a long time. This blog will be continuously updated as long as I continue to travel the world and wake up needing to hang a dump.

A journey through Sri Lanka's ruins and tea plantations, followed by a peek into mysterious Iran. The trip included the mud-brick city of Bam, destroyed by earthquake on Boxing Day the same year.

Quick holiday in the Uk

iran and India

On the 2nd of August 2008 Kira and I celebrated our marriage with lots of friends,and soon we'll be setting off, overland and water, back to Australia.

Iran was the thrill of my 2004 summer vacations. All places I visited and people I met will stay in my mind for a long time. This country very rich in cultural history lacks of tourism as it is wonderful to explore and get astonished by its wonderful landscapes and historical sites. I flew to Tehran from Tashkent, Uzbekistan on the same day some suicide attacks were held in the city. Expecting the unexpected was always present in my mind.

Everybody has his/her thing when taking travel photo's. Mine's is jumping alone or preferably with the locals.
