My Journey in Iran (part one) After getting married for a year we finally had a period spend our delayed honeymoon vacation in last April. We decided not to go to popular destinations among Chinese tourists. At that time we just wanted to jump out of the normal and boring life and have some unique experience. We considered many countries. First we thought of Egypt, but we heard from others there are always some peddlers in attractions who cheat and overcharge travelers. Then we considered India, but at that time the Internet was full of its bad news about females frequently got raped there. One day when I was reading a travel website, I was attracted by an amazing photo of a colorful mosque. I quickly clicked into the travelogue page, the writer told us about his trip in an unimaginable place—we used to call it Persia and now Iran. He posted an amount of pictures of Iranians, most of them have an outstanding appearance. Their pure and nice smiles impressed me a lot. So I began to consider Iran as my choice. When I was reading the not-so-abundant travelogues I found the cost of traveling there is extremely low. If we order a main course and a drink in a pretty nice restaurant, it would be less than 40 RMB per person. Comparing to the low cost, all of the travelers said Iranian people will be the biggest attraction in your journey. The enthusiastic Iranians often initiated to help foreign tourists and even invite travelers to their home to experience the local life. For my husband, his first choice was the US.I advised him if you want to see the modern cities, just go to Shanghai and use imagination to copy the tall buildings in your mind that will be the USA. Because of having been isolated by the international society for many years, Iran is more special, we would have an awesome topic after we come back. My husband being a gourmet, he is addicted to delicious beef and lamb, Iran has several of those dishes the most famous one is lamb kebab. As a result he accepted my decision and looked forward to the coming feast. As Iran is under sanctions, we couldn’t reserve Iranian hotels on any the International websites. We needed to find some hotels’ numbers and call them directly. The worse thing was the line was always been cut off and we had to repeatedly call the hotel so that we were charged with a high priced phone bill.
