I see... What I meant was that I could still taste the 'tea' resin. It hadn't been removed by the washing liquid, not that I could taste the washing liquid itself. Now I just avoid the problem and use disposables.

It sounds as if you are having a wonderful time! I'm envious! I hope you'll put up lots of photos when you return.

Big mug of China Black this morning... having trouble waking up.

English Breakfast tea. milk. apples. no more cookies

I hate it when I wake up in the morning, and startled immediately with these questions: "Geeeee, what time is it? What day is today? Do I have class this morning? Am I late??"

Wait ... You all get a day off because a prince is getting married? How incredibly ... stupid ... But good for you of course

It's a short week for me too! We (me and my 150 colleagues) are going to a theme park on Friday. It's our annual 'excursion'.

Water, water and some more water. It's the last really hot day here, it should be a bit cooler the rest of the week.

All sort of silly things we have over here. For example, St George's Day 23d April, the day of England is a work day. They cry about loosing English identity but they cannot make this day a national holiday?



Water in a flask.

Chai in my cup. The taste: hot water again. I saw some yasmin green tea in the bazar, which I might buy.

I walked 8 hours straight through this huge city. The traffic is the 2nd- worst I've seen. 1=Bangkok 3=Rome. When I want to cross, I just start walking and hope for the best; brakes screeching....so I'm still good.

Visited the National Museum of Iran, with a marvellous collection of ceramics, pottery, exhibits from Persepolis, I saw bone tools from the 8th millennium B.C., and lots of further archelogical finds.
On to the Golestan Palace, which was build by the Quajar ruler Nasser al-Din Shah. Beautiful gardens with fountains and flocks of green parraqueets(?). Several small musea are housed here, which we saw all. We visited the livingquarters of Nasser al- Din and it was out of a fairytale from 1000- and one nights: walls and ceilings covered with mirror-mosaiques and large
beautiful ornated mirrors, huge christall chandeliers. All sparkling and glittering. On the outside of all of those buildings were mosaics with flowers, animals and so on. Some young people were restoring a wall where a lot had been damaged by time. They repainted the missing parts with watercolors after they had filled the missing parts with gypsum. I chatted a while with a girl;
she was still learning to be a restaurator. Very friendly.

Back to the bazar where I found the Oriental rug- sellers; concentrated in
about 10 streets: stacks and stacks of beautful rugs. No, I didn't buy one ( as yet). On this bazar it's not just, some shops with candy or some with toys; but always a whole quarter of the same merchandise. Not just 2 packets of something, but hundreds. It seems that the merchants from the bazar are a big economical force in Iran, as a lot of merchandise passes its gate. They
have great power, in the past and these days. I bought dried dates, abricots, plums and peanuts for the journey.

Iran has a lot of young people who are highly educated, but no job. 70 % of the population is 25 years old or less. That's the tragedy of the Middle-east these days. Women go to University as well; they're covered up and wear veils, so they can.
And the very young try to scratch a living as well. I saw a tiny boy being ordered to crawl in these huge garbagecans, in order to search for plastic bottles.

It's a male society. Men troup together and are affectionate with each other; I find that touching to see. They kiss each other when they meet.
The women are more distant, in public. But when I sit next to them, we
always have a chat and lots of friendly smiles.

Tomorrow I'll go to the north; 12 hours in the bus. I don't think internet will be easy there, but we'll see.

Black Coffee, with a side portion of Easter Chocolate (home made by my gorgeous daughter xx)

[astra]

Water water water...
Although, I had a mug of tuocha Pu-Erh and a cup of NBTea's Keemun during the day.

Good Morning! Coffee in my cup this beautiful sunny day (though, windy and cold and 56F)

It sounds like you are really having an adventure. I remember the traffic in Italy. It was so impossible to believe that I took video of various drives, just so I could prove it to others. How are you ever going to decide what carpet to buy when there are soooo many?

Thanks for the update, it's fun to read. Happy & safe continuing adventures to you.

Good evening Dreams

Hot Ginger for me ....
