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.

Nice to be back in Burma (Myanmar) after 29 years!!! Yes, its true its almost 30 years since my first visit to the country. This time together with my family for a short visit to Tadjilak - a border town to Thailand. We did not have all that much time during this short visit, but managed to stop at some of the sights and local markets. See further below for some old pictures back from 1981...

The pictures have long since faded as they are scanned from an old photo album. The visit back in 1981 was however very interesting as this was during the times before the military regime had taken a tighter control of the country. There where however complaints already then about freedom of speech and other human rights issues. This was also long before any tourists started coming to the country. I remember how incredibly cheap everything was at the time. I brought in a carton of cigarettes and a bottle of whiskey on the flight from China and traded this in for local currency which kept me going for a full week.
