ARABIAN NIGHTS
Iran might not be an ideal place for many people, especially westerner, to visit but for me it was a great opportunity to have once in a life time! It was a trip for Honeymoon & Travel, Me and other crews don’t feel sure what we will face in Iran.
I was in Iran in 2008 and there so many bad political news in the press so everyone feel not really sure to be here but anyway we are here at last. And when we’re here everything looks very calm than we’re expected. I mean everything seem normal to me nothing like in the news.
The only thing I’m not keen on are food. Well, I’m just a person that not keen on Middle East food and also Chinese food ( I mean the authentic one in China. It’s just too oily for me, I’m okay with Chinese food in Thailand as they seem not oily as the original one )
We’re also went to the small town village and visit the old mansion in Kashan. In this area we found people with traditional Persian mix with Islamic dress style.
The most beautiful thing in the trip was the Mosque in Isfahan. It was one of the most stunning place I’ve ever been! Even though, It was on the renovation process but the building itself look very beautiful and huge!!!
And after enjoying the Isfahan Mosque and do some shooting in there, we enjoying the shopping in the square in front of this famous mosque. I brought some persian rug and some persian tote bag. It’s lovely colour and lovely persian items to have.
If I have another chance to go there I would love to go to Persepolis, Mesopotamia.. feel very sad that our 10 days in Iran not enough for that… so I wish one day I would be there again!
