the sun still sets in here...

this was our first day in Iran, and since arriving early in the morning, it was more or less a non-stop trip inside the city of Tehran. After visiting the snow filled ground of the Sa'd Abad Palaces, we left the northern side of the city, which was regarded as the more well off regions, heading towards the Tehran Laleh Hotel (fomerly Intercontinental Hotel).

was this what we expected? the Iran/ Iraq war was history, and the capital of Iran resembles very much to its counterparts in the West, the density, traffic jams, noise and pollution...and yes, you can easily find a Toyota as well.

just like any other places, the sun still set in here, the veiled country was in fact, not that remote at all...
