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.

The former Soviet republic state, and still with strong ties to Russia, was on our agenda in March, 2013. In terms of architecture I did not find Chisinau particularly interesting. A few fine period buildings but otherwise mostly Soviet style constructions. The Nasterea Comnului Cathedral and the Pushkin museum are the two main attractions here. As always, I paid a visit to the local market. Always bustling with activities and commerce. We did also make the short trip out to the wine-district - Cricova - only some 30 minutes outside the capital. It boast some 120 km tunnels underground for wine storage - impressive. The restaurants were actually better than one could expect.
