  1. A flower market by the highway, just before the cemetery.

  2. Wreaths of flowers for sale.

  3. Rows of graves at Behesht-e Zahra. There’s one huge central graveyard in Tehran. It’s packed on Thursday nights and Fridays (Friday is a holy day). People even bring a picnic!

  4. If you want your fortune told, in the form of a Haafez poem, you pay 100 tomans (12 cents) and the little birdie picks one out for you – so cute.

  5. Tehran from above - it has a residential population of 11 million but millions more travel to the city each day for work (Sydney’s population is around 4 million).

  6. Alborz Mountains from a city rooftop

  8. Pretty much every household in Tehran has satellite. It’s all illegal (due to strict censorship laws) and once in a while they raid apartment blocks and take them away.

  9. Herbs! Used extensively in Persian cooking.

  10. People mostly disregard traffic lights. They’ve found that these counters help because rather than just lose patience you can see exactly how long you have to wait. Mind you they usually start moving once it reaches 3 or 2.

  11. You’ll hardly ever see this little traffic!

  12. Not so uncommon. I saw a guy driving with the whole of his driver’s side door missing.
