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.

a long weekend in Minsk, Belarus back in may 2011. On the surface everything looks clean, nice and well organized. However, this is very much a dictatorship run by President Lukasjenko, close ally of President Putin in Russia. A visit to Dudutki outside of Minsk could be worthwhile, if it wasn't for the fact that this is not a "real" kolchos, which would have been nice to see. This is a government organized model of a kolchos on display for tourists. Khatyn, ca: 60 km north of Minsk is a village which was completely destroyed during world war 2 by the nazis and is worth visiting. We did not have time to include this however. A visit to the Operahouse is a must - it is called "Bolshoj" just like in Moscow. We saw Aida and this was an amazing performance.
