Esther explores Iran (English special)
"People where just coming over to me and they offered me warm tea and biscuits. I even got ice cream. It was also unexpected and I think that I experienced both the worst and the best at the same time."
Iran is the second biggest country in the Middle East and is known for its hospitable people, stunning architecture, the most desolate deserts, green mountains, islands, and many other things. However, traveling in Iran is not that easy, as it presents several difficulties and peculiarities, ranging from strict Islamic rules to credit card issues.
In this episode, Adil has invited Esther to talk about Esther's experiences travelling in religious Iran. Esther shares her her ups and downs ranging from communication challenges and a dramatic robbery to hospitality, hot tea and the Iranian New Year, Nowruz.
