going, going…
Laurel & Hardy A Perfect Day…
Well, I have spent the past three days at the Persepolis conference and delivered my paper. I am pleased to say that it was very well received. When I have the time I will try and put it online and even, perhaps, put up a video of me babbling away – the whole thing was filmed.
So, I am finally off to Iran and I can only hope that this time it is for real. Tomorrow morning I will fly to Istanbul. On Tuesday evening I will board, the gloriously named, Trans-Asia Express for the four day journey to Tehran. I suspect that this is the closest I am ever going to get to something like a trip on the ‘Orient Express’.
I have recently discovered that the numerous wi-fi spots I believed to pepper Iran may well be a figment of my imagination. I got that information from somewhere, but when I tried to verify it the other day, I could find nothing but gloomy prognostications of endless vistas entirely devoid of wi-fi… So we shall see what kind of blogging I will be able to do… Hopefully you will be hearing from me soon…
