Do you want to be a star?

Here is your chance: Go to Iran and show that you are a tourist. For most of the tourists that is a simple task, just be yourself. People will start talking to you on the street. They want to take a picture of you and them.
If you are on a bicycle it is not enough for them to slow down and ask where you are from. They will take out their camera and film you or take pictures. And when I went to visit an English institute, I had to give my autogramm away many times…

  2. At the begining it felt good, than there were times when we were fed up with
    that and than agian I started enjoying it, just that this time I replied in the
    same way as they do most of the time… acting crazy!!! Iranians are cool, but
    yes they should travel a bit to find out how it is outside their LOVELY country…
    And David “What do you thing about Iranian people?” and “Iran good?, good?”
