Come With Me To The West Part Of Tehran

Today, I went to see the west part of Tehran. This is one of the major highways in the west area. It was at 10:30 in the morning and as you see, the traffic is so heavy.

This is Milad Tower, one of the tallest towers in Iran and the sixth tallest towers in the world after Guangzhu TV, CN Tower in Toronto, Ostankino Tower in Moscow, The Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai and Tokyo Sky Tree, still under construction. (From Wikipedia) It is 435m or 1,427 ft and it has a restaurant on top and is part of Tehran International Trade and Convention center. The restaurant is very expensive as well as the fee for parking. An elevator or staircase take you to the top.

This was my Primary and Elementary School. It brings back both sweet and bitter memories. I'm afraid that the picture is not so good. I took it while I was in the car.

Most people ask what women wear in Iran. They think we have Burga like Afghani women. This is totally wrong. The typical outfit of women in Iran consists of a scarf and a long overcoat named "Manto." The scarf and Manto comes in different colors and designs. Youths usually wear lighter colors and tight and short Manto. Recently, I have seen that they style their hair and wear too much make ups. Their fashion is really interesting. If I can, I'll take a photo of it in coming blogs.

This is a typical store for selling fruits and vegatables.

The translation of what is written on the wall is:" God loves me."

Dear Narendra ji, as my previous experiences, the tower doesn't worth the price. I mean I can go to top of a mountain and see the view of Tehran instead of spending too much money for such a thing. The New Year celebration has passed. Thanks a lot for your kindness. I'm glad you liked photos.
