NOTE

* Happy Noruz

As I write this note, 1377 is already two hours old. I look back at the past year and all I see is the computer screen. The Internet, more than ever, has become my life. And I hope for a good reason. I hope The Iranian magazine and The Iranian Times have made a difference in bringing all Iranians, everywhere, closer together. On behalf of all those good people who have made this effort what it is today, I wish you a wonderful Noruz and a very happy new year.

THE IRANIAN

Iranian hospitality attack
A survival guide for the non-Iranian traveler

By Hamid Taghavi

Beware! Forget about all the xenophobic, anti-Iranian propaganda dominating the media.What they say about terrorism and your life being in danger in Iran is absolute hogwash (I have no idea what that word means, but I like the sound of it: hogwash...). If anything, all that Iranians can be accused of is excessive hospitality. So, when traveling to Iran, beware of innocent looking situations which could turn into the experience of your life. Kind of like walking into The Twilight Zone... Go to feature
