Like past years, we spent the Chinese New Year Holidays travelling. While there are still many places which we haven't travelled to, Middle East has always been a facinating region to us: early civilizations, Babylon, Crusades, the Great Persian Empire...
With Iraq regarded as the most dangerous place to travel to on Earth, and Israel and Palestine constantly engaged in a antagonistic confrontation, we turned our eyes towards Iran, a vast country with little news on paper other than their unending disputes with the West, and Bush's labelling them as "Axis of Evil"...but what is it really like?
We have heard of great names like Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes...but what is the modern day Iranians like?
Is it as dangerous as what the West portrayed?
or is it a completely distorted story waiting to be rectified?
