Hi Majid,

in 1996 I spent six months in Karaj. Where we used to build a production facility for dialysis filters for the Red Crescent Society. I have only positive memories of that time. I met a lot of nice people who showed me also the impressive landscape.

Let's hope!
Politicians are the greatest businessmen and the boundaries (physical and mental) are their tool IMO!

Wonderful to see these different images, especially the beautiful buildings. I admit my image of Iran is that pictures of women or the former shah would be forbidden.
