We arrived at in Abadan and I was thrilled to hear the much familiar Abadani accent. Because my sister works for the courts, we were given a place which actually was not supposed to be available but, we found out from the head of the place, later on, that he had agreed because he had been told we are all originally from Khuzestan and one was coming all the way from America to be there. Sweet and kind thoughts that could only come from an Abadani, I always say that God gives beautiful beings a beautiful outside to match>>>FULL TEXT

Picture #9
by Khosro (not verified) on Fri May 09, 2008 01:44 PM CDTThis picture represents what Abadani is famous for, Ray Ban. Pretty much almost all cities and towns in Iran, particularly in Khozestan are neglected by everyone, government and people alike.

Abadan in these pictures looks like a big village and frankly, it looks awful.
Apart from the family photos, every other photo shows badly maintained and even badly constructed buildings and infrastructure.
The place is in need of urgent improvements worthy of Abadan and the government should stop sending money to the Palestinians and the Latin Americans and start spending money here.
Thanks for the pictures! but...
by farrad02 on Wed May 07, 2008 03:58 PM CDTBut they show how poorly maintained and neglected our beautiful Abadan has become! How sad!

Thanks for the tour of your lovely hometown. I am glad to see new construction in the war torn Abadan. It is about time, Afarin to all the locals that decided to invest. I have heard living in Abadan is not easy compare to other Iranin cities. What did the people say? Khuzistanis are amasing after all that they have endured during the war and the negelect of the regime,they are still proud and beautiful than ever. To all those people I say, Bravoo. Keep our home safe.
Persian Gulf forever
Thank you.
