When I woke up I was still somehow in this country that had previously existed only as an abstract thought – Iran. It was my first full day here.

The room I was staying in was okay:

There was wifi, but it was slow as hell. And I mean: AS HELL.

I was so tired that I stayed in all day.

Sometimes I would walk down the corridor though, in order to get hot water for my tea:

And one time I even went outside to check on the Caboose:

I noticed that these two gentlemen were everywhere:

Ayatollahs

In the evening, I went to the hotel dining hall to have dinner:

Luckily, they had a menu with photographs, so I just pointed at something. It turned out to be this:

I still don’t know what it was called. I can only say this much: I liked it, but I couldn’t quite understand why there were like a dozen french fries in it.
