Bruce: First it's Tehran. Second, Tehran isn't very friendly for tourist but we have a lot tourist friendly cities which Tehran isn't one of them. Third, I have no idea why the people you talk about were glad when leaving Tehran. Fourth, as a family we get a long quite well, so, if what you're getting at is they're leaving because they want a break from us, I wouldn't believe that for a second.
Most important fact: Iran is ranked very high in tourist cities in the world but now they don't rank anywhere in the charts. Iranian citizens are leaving Iran because of the dreadful situation.
Woah, woah, easy friend. Didn't mean anything of the sort. I just wanted to know why two women would go in Iran now, if not to see family members or something important like that.
As for the spelling of Tehran, I just wrote it the French way (
Téhéran without the accents), my bad, didn't know.
The two people I was referring to were a Swede friend and her mother. The former dated a guy form Iran for a few years and he kept telling her beautiful things about Iran (which I'm sure are all true, this is not the point). So, a year or so after they broke up, her mother and the girl went to Tehran (and maybe the surroundings, I don't remember). They were glad to have been there, and were willing to go again when things are different, but they also felt off and tensed the whole week. It wasn't the veil - she told me you could were it loosely without being bugged by anyone - but something. For instance, they hardly spoke to anyone except at the hotel. They also found they were looked at quite a bit by the men. Therefore, they were glad to leave. That's it.
Anyway, I wasn't meaning to say anything bad about Iran -
the country. Just that it's a shame about
the regime.
