Of all the places I've never been & of all the things I'll never see this is not on any list.

Re: Trains in Iran
I've yet to meet anyone who has been to Iran as a tourist that didn't rave about the country.

Re: Trains in Iran
Iran, back in the 70's was a wonderful place, ( best in the middle east), great people , fantastic food and lots to see
all under the Shah
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: Trains in Iran
A friend of mine had/has high praise for Tehran in that time period. But he was teaching the Shah's helo pilots so he had an inside track.

Re: Trains in Iran
Richard, several people I've spoken to have been since the shah got booted...and despite the propaganda, they said it was remarkably friendly, even to Americans.
The Shah was a real piece of work, btw.

Re: Trains in Iran
Everyone I've known that has been to Iran and the Iranians I've met have made me really want to visit the country.
As an American, its not easy to plan to go there nor to obtain a visa.
But I'd definitely like to visit there.

Re: Trains in Iran
I went through Iran 3 times in the early 70s on the way to India, train, bus and hitchike, Lovely friendly people, lovely food and incredible sights, if they could get rid of the Mullahs and Imams and all the rest of the religious nutters it would be a serious destination. on many peoples list
