Dress !!!

This year's pre-summer crackdown on what the Iranian authorities think is un-Islamic dress is much harsher than in previous years. But as the last years actions have shown when most of the people are wearing in this UN-ISLAMIC way, then no one can do anything about it. I don't think Iranian government wouln't know that these atmospheres in Tehran might make people more stressful but it wont last forever and those Tehrani girls ( Capital girls, oh my goodness, very tough ... ) wont bow infront of anyone ... There are better usage for all these money and energy which is wasting over this useless plan !

Whatever the hidden and unhidden goals of this plan can be, I want to discuss one of the results of these actions among the youth population of Iran. As I remember I never got a comment from anyone about my clothes but everytime I saw such behaviours from police or university gaurds, I would really feel sad and down and suddenly it would come to my mind where the hell is here that you even can't wear what you want ???!!!
These useless behaviours are the main cause that young nobles leave the country ... They are sick of all those SHOULDs and SHOULDN'Ts that when they have the opportunity to leave the country with their very good characters from university or their top researchs, they wouldn't even doubt it ...

I have just one word to say with the Islamic government in my country, Whatever you want to do, you need Iranian people. Don't make them run away from their own being and serve another land with their wisdom. It doesn't matter what clothes we are in, the most beautiful thing is that everyone would be in the outfit they like, not the one we make them to wear. If my generation is not wearing what you like, its your fault because we were raised up in Islamic republic of Iran not Kingdom of Iran. So lets deal together to build the country like no other has even done. For this goal we need patiance, understanding and respect.

Iranian couple cycling around the world for PEACE :-)

An Iranian couple have set off on a round-the-world cycle to promote peace and a positive image of their country.
Jafar and Naseem Edrisi are taking little more than their optimism on their 20,000km journey.
The expect to be away from home for two years, and have a budget of just $10 to $18 a day (£5 to £9).

"We have different objectives," explains Naseem. "One is to convey a message of peace and friendship to the countries we arrive in."
She went on: "Another is to plant saplings in different cities of the world. We want to make a 'green line' around the world, to help the environment."


The couple, who have both worked as tour guides, have also prepared CDs showing their favourite attractions of Iran.
"We want to fix the bad image that has been created of Iran around the world," says Jafar.

The couple will cycle through northern and southern Europe on the first leg of their journey.
After that, they will go on to either Africa, or North America, depending on what visas they get.
Japan, China, India and Pakistan will form the final, Asian part of their tour. "We cannot predict what will happen," explains Jafar. "It all depends on the political situation; we can only plan two months ahead."


Aside from maps, a tent, sleeping bags and cookware, they have also packed a Quran, a Bible and eight books of Iranian poetry into their panniers.


The couple are funding the trip themselves and have spent the last two years saving and training. They have also built up a contacts book of friends and relatives in different countries in case they need help.

Despite this, Jafar concedes they still have worries. "We are concerned about where to sleep at night, about safety and other issues. As one of our friends said, the easiest part of the journey will be the cycling," he said.

Naseem is confident they will enjoy the experience: "We used to travel around Iran in the past; but each time we returned home we were sad, because we didn't want our journey to end. We love to be travelling all the time."
