We're moving!

This whole site is being moved to a shiny new server - as are all my sites, in fact. Apologies for the bumpy road ahead, but at the end of that road things will become fast and smooth.

Once the site at the new server is ready, this message will automatically disappear!

Meanwhile, you can see how the move is progressing at the status page.

  Monday 2004-05-24 - Bāzargān, Iran

Compliment for the ladies

The border crossing into Iran goes amazingly smoothly; on the Turkish side, the bus is allowed to take us right up to the gate which is practically flush with the Iranian one at Bāzargān. After that is customs, which worried us most — for no reason as it turns out. All ladies in our group were already dressed “decently” before getting on the bus, and the rather grumpy tourism officer who receives us before the customs gate (for inspection?) actually compliments us for how we are dressed. Possibly as a result we get no baggage check at all!
