Iran story latest Trails

[4WD Toyota Owner Magazine]

Heya Todd,

Enjoyed the Iran story hugely; I married a Persian girl and in fact was married twice, once in a Muslim ceremony so Iranian officials would let us stay in hotels, rooms, etc together--in Iran, they don't always recognize western/Christian certificates if you are married to an Iranian. Anyway, I know those cities and towns well. Great pics and story. I've seen Karin's work and it's good. My father-in-law also enjoyed it, of course. Seeing the home country made him cook up a Persian feast like no other--lamb, chicken, and beef, plus rice, potatoes, yoghurt with cucumber, oh man--there are benefits to marrying into a Persian family! He did the Rubicon with me last year; this year he's coming with a BBQ on the back of the 80, so stop by for the real meal Persian deal!

My wife's sister, Nooshin, made a film called "Young Republic" that shows the real side of Iranian life, like Karin's story did as well. The populace as a whole are young--70% of Iran is under 30. They are great people, regardless of age. (The government of course is quite another story). Here's a link to the film and also free podcasts that show cool vignettes of Iranian life that many of us never see over here at all.

Cool, thanks badass and Wyo, and I'll pass the word on the Nooshin. Todd doesn't read/respond to these threads I guess? Thought he was the editor, is he not anymore?

I thought it was a great article too! Todd is still the editor. He'll probably see this thread eventually and chime in.
