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.

Fiji
Fiji is by far the most developed of the South Pacific Islands which I visited on this trip. It has enjoyed visitors coming for many decades and has over the years developed its tourist industry. Fiji has also its own Airline - Fiji Airways with a very well developed network to many of the other Pacific Islands especially in Melanesia and Polynesia. I used Fiji as a hub to travel to-from all the islands on this trip. This as there are very few flights between the other Islands. Some of the Inter Island flights from Fiji departs from Nadi and others from Suva. I decided to stay at the nicer town of Nadi and use this as my base for Island hopping. It is also possible to fly from Nadi to Suva, which I did. This takes only 20 minutes and is a much better option than travelling by car which can take up to 4 hours. There are surprisingly quite a lot to do and see on the main Island. I would also recommend to stay on the beachfront when using Fiji as a hub. Sailors Beach resort or the Beachcomber are a couple of recommended and nice places to use.
With a 4-day stop-over in Karachi, Pakistan, we only got a very short flavor of this bustling mega city. Huge pollution and overcrowded already back in 1990 when we made our short visit. Loved it however, and am now planning to come back for a more thorough visit to this 200 million country. We saw, during our short visit, a traditional cock-fight as well as the traditional fight between the Cobra and the Mungo. Again, these photos are only scanned copies of printed photos - hence the poor quality and slightly faded pictures.
