Shiraz

Text written in: English

Wow...... Big Surprise!! I'd ever met other travellers from Hong Kong before, not only for this trip. But here, I met a whole bunch of them, just an hour after I arrived Shiraz. I guessed all the Hong Kong individual travellers are grouped in Iran now. Feel so good to speak my own language on my journey, as I remembered it was just second time in my travel life. The first time was in Bolivia, a Malaysian guy who can speak Cantonese.

It seemed more easy to find cheap food in Shiraz than Yazd, small restaurants everywhere. it is good for me, I am a cheap baster.

One thing i would like to say here is the people in all the countries that I visited are all friendly and hospitality, including Iran. There is something special here, the business man (taxi driver and shop/restaurant owners) here are all professional to rob money from tourist. I understand that we are paying tourist price everywhere. But unlike other countries, Iranian always tried to charge sky price to foreigners, 5 times or even 10 times of the normal price, much more worse than anywhere else. At some point, I can say some of the Iranian who deal with foreigners are not honest. Of course, most of the Iranian people are friendly, kind and hospitality.
