Iran
Back in the years 2006 and 2007, I managed a company where we decided to set-up an assembly production facility in Teheran, Iran. This meant a few trips to the capital of Iran. I unfortunately did not have time to see anything of this supposedly beautiful country filled with amazing architectural sites. The few shots are from a mobile phone hence the poor quality. There is a trip penciled in my travel-plans hopefully in the not so distant future. My main takeaway from these trips are the hard-working, dedicated and friendly people.

Kyrgizistan
As I did not have time to cover Kyrgizistan in connection to visting Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tadjikistan a few years back, now was the time. I spent time in and around the capitol - Bishkek, visiting the Ohs Bazar and the Ala-Archa gorge (mountains) outside of the city. I also had a chance to see the traditional yurts and try Kyrgizi food. This is also a country well known for "bride-napping". Young men kidnap young single girls and marry them against their will. I travelled overland from Bishkek and Kirgizistan to Kazakstan. A trip which takes some 5 hours crossing some really beautiful countryside.
