Into the "Aryan nation" secret Iran under the veil of legend

Iran to the first day of early morning, I wake up from the nearby the minarets of chanting. Desolate agitated tone mixing spread in the morning mist, obscuring the morning the some of the agitation. After breakfast, go out of the hotel lobby, a yellow Mercedes sports car suddenly stopped in front of the door, wearing a stylish but veiled girl off past me, I do not know is it right? Illusion, I seemed to see through the veil of her smile. We Iran stereotypes and imagination is like a veil. The only person walking in the ruins of the ancient capital of the mosque, heard the twitter of piety, tasted the market free distribution of honey water, can through the veil, see the "moon like face and soft ruby lips smile like".

To explore the mysteries of the world.

The heart to move with the wind

From the Caspian sea breeze, blowing warm to the roof of the mosque, alley deep and full of flowers in Iran Valley, walked around feeling, like Abbas's famous movie - "blowing in the wind". The famous Iran director Abbas Kiarositami's works, a lesson about life, dignity, trust, cooperation and love of course. A group of engineers came to a small village in Iran province of Kurdistan. The villagers do not know why they came in succession, suspicion, they even come to treasure......

[snow] impossible

Skiing in Iran? It sounds ridiculous, but it is true. All from the magazine that I browse in a restaurant, I saw a photo, two wearing thick black robe, wearing the veil woman in Iran, in the ski! The snow is really! This contrasts with the odd appearance immediately attracted me -- I only knowDubaiThere is a large indoor ski resort, but had never heard of any local outdoor skiing said the middle east. With curiosity, I in the next vacation, set foot on their flight to tehran.

Iran snow

Guide to pick me up at the airport, then put me into a Honda car, our destination is in the Alborz mountains embrace the Shemshak ski resort, 2550 meters above sea level, 55 minutes. "Iran has many ski resort, Shemshak was built in 1958, although not the largest snow field, but with more stimulus curve and slope", I was looking out of the window to Tehran's famous chaotic street side be absent-minded, listened to the guide. Found near Shemshak, Iran on the road they look more westernized, some still open Cheng bright luxury car, a look is the rich man.

The car climbed 2550 meters high, the urban air is precipitated at the bottom, the blue sky like washed clear, powder snow lovely cover around the slopes. I live in the Shemshak Hotel plans to have a sound sleep, the decoration here doesn't look too many middle eastern flavor, but more like an oldAustriaA ski lodge, even a bar (of course, only provide coffee and soft drinks), do not know the occupation quality or to a foreigner here feel satisfied, all staff are much exaggerated smile. The room is small but very comfortable, one can directly see the ski balcony, and out the front door of the hotel can take the cable car recently.

Cable carFranceBuilt in the 1970's, despite the long history, seems to maintain well. Because the relationship between work day, not too many skiers. "You are is time. Every weekend, Tehran ski lovers can be poured into the valley, the road block, 55 minutes are usually open 1.5 hours." The tour guide is wrinkly wrinkly eyebrows, I think he must have been to many times are stuck on the road bad memories. Sitting on a cable car four eye view, where the snow is perfect, the scenery is spectacular, I have to pinch his thigh to remember you are in Iran. The only remind me of is the distance that a flicker of a ray of sun mosque roof. Around the skiers seem costly professional equipment, I have to drink two cups of coffee to refresh Espresso. Although, a day of skiingTravelingOnly needs 100 yuan, I shouted, cheap, but not to regard it as right guide, "they just up the price, a few months ago for $30."

Snow pure net

He also told me that, not so long ago, the snow is still the separation of men and women, perhaps the government aware of skiing is a police monitoring difficult thing, now the snow has merged into one. Interestingly, the cable car is still separated, a line for women, a line belongs to men, heterosexual sharing a compartment are considered illegal. Nevertheless, in the rest station coffee shop we still happily coexist together, House music gently cyclotron in the warm room, a female singer to sing the song, his voice is lazy, had to admit that, in Iran, a lot of things just close your eyes.

I stayed in Shemshak for three days, the ski experience is first-rate, there is beautiful sunshine and blue sky every day, the weather good a be hardly worthy of belief in the good weather. The night before I left, eating eggplant braised steamed rice, roast lamb leg and sweet tea, I went back to the room. Then I heard some strange noise outside, then open the door and go to the balcony. In about 100 meters away, clearing snow road, street lights sit two huge wolf, in the under ow howl. The wolf must have heard me, because they immediately stopped barking, our eyes met, and I heard the Muslim timing prayer voice, loud chants echoed in the silent moonlight over the mountain. The wolf turned towards the darkness, I trembled back a few steps, walk into the room. In life there are always some little time, you know, will be with you forever.
