No skiing :(

I'm up at 5.45am and use a combination of metro (10 US cents), bus (12.5c) and shared taxi (25c) to get to the Tochal ski complex in northern Tehran where I'm meeting with Shirin and a few of her friends. I'm struck by grief as we're told the Piste is closed today! So much for skiing in Iran....

Tehran

I arrive to Tehran at around 6am. I am completely lost -- no guide book, no map and all signs are in Farsi. I only know I'm supposed to meet my friend Ali at 10am at some street downtown. I meet a guy named Mohse at the bus station, he takes me to the bus that goes to the metro, follows me on...
