Hello, I am just getting to visit Iran...I am europian, 25. Just want to make sure about how Teheran would be safe for me and if I should worry about anything (though it probably wouldn´t change anything about my decision to go there). I am sure Iran is safe for Iranians because of quite well functioning establishment (as I see it)...but would it be safe for foreigner? What is a people's oppinion about westerners (generaly I belive it is a problem for iraninan to tell whether I come from US or europe, based just on physical characteristics)? If I were at your place I wouldn´t like foreigners for all that propaganda in western TV's and sanctions applied via OSN.

hello
I'm Tina and i'm Iranian. I want to tell you that Iran IS NOT the country that most of the people think. I know that most of the people all over the world think that Iran in a dangerous country just because of something that they heard about Iran. Iran's government has some problems with the other governments specially America's government and because of that in most of the news talks very badly about Iran. Iranians are so sad about this because they say that the new government is destroying Iran. You know, Iran is a 2000 years country and it has a strong culture. Don't see the Iranians that immigrate to your country because most of them change when they immigrate, but if you come to Iran you'll see how Iranians are good people. I don't say these just because i'm Iranian, i say these because they're reality. Iran is so beautiful and nice,specially Tehran. Tehran is one of the biggest city all over the world and it has beautiful places. Tehran's nights are famous because it's SO BEAUTIFUL. If you come to Iran i offer to you that visit Milad tower and Bame Tehran. Milade Noor, Tirazhe, and Tandis are good places for shopping. you can also visit the other towns like Shiraz, Isfahan, Gilan and the best island in iran, Kish. this island is very good for foreigner. I love Kish!
I hope that I could help you and if i had problems in my writing please excuse me
Goodbye ;)

Yes, I'm from the US which has excellent medical facilities. The problems is that those facilities are not available to all Americans. In this country only the wealthy have access to medical care, the poor not only have substandard care (if they're lucky to get that) usually people go without medical care in this country. Many people go without medical care in the US!!!!!

The good thing is that there is an Iranian Embassy here in Warsaw, so I will apply for the VISA.



But on the other hand, my question is, how conservative is the situation in Iran regarding religion?



I also heard that girls are very very pretty. So, "IF" I meet a nice one, how should I do or not do? What is forbidden? I read sex is illegal, but is really followed happening that young people is not having sex before the marriage?

Hi Pablo,

You can find sex before marriage a lot in Iran, but in a hidden way!!!

I'm not sure how you can do it or ask a girl to be with you, because in the hotels you can not invite a female guest to your room and it is also not safe to rent a house for foreigners unless they hire a lawyer!

The only thing is that she invites you to her own house!![/QUOTE]

Hi Pablo.
about sex my friend helped u.
but about Iranian language i should tell you most of them really cant speak English!!
they just can speak Persian!!!
unfortunately Iranian English is poor.

Regarding the comment about being Jewish and visiting Iran. Iran does actually have Jews (and Christians) you know! lol they live alongside other Iranians just fine. Don’t believe Zionist propaganda, Iranians are cultured people! Look just remember if you plan to visit Tehran it’s like other cities around the world it has fashion, culture, music etc - but with Islamic rules. If you have ever met an Iranian they (without sounding racist) are very Jew like lol - in a good way :)

Be open minded!

Hello [COLOR=#660033][B]Hmjohnny !![/B][/COLOR]

Tell me who said that [COLOR=#006633][B]"Iran is dangerous for westerners"[/B][/COLOR]???

Brother as you know Iran is a [COLOR=#FF9933]Muslim[/COLOR] country and most of the terrorists activities are blamed on Muslim peoples. All these are [COLOR=#3300BB]Rumors[/COLOR] spread by the media all over the world. But the reality is totally different from this.I am also a [COLOR=#3300BB]Westerner[/COLOR] but i never find myself in danger when i was there last year on a trip.

People of Iran are so good to behave.They respect the persons coming from outside the Iran. I have spend 3 days with a Iranian family and really they are true to their hearts. So, i just want to say one thing that come to Iran with your friend and predict whether i was wrong or not.

I worked in Iran for two years in early 90s and in all the countries I travel to I grade them, ie India the most interesting South Africa (was) the most pleasant and Iran the friendliest, I am off again in a few weeks and I know things will have changed but its a really great place to visit.

You will have a great time, just remember that you should not do anything that may be suspitious and you will have a great experience.

I've done a bit of reading on Wikitravel and it didn't say that much about danger. How are foreign women treated in comparison to Iranian women, and in comparison to foreign men?

I'm also on prescription medicine that can't be supplied over the counter. If in Iran, I was to lose the medicine, how hard would it be to replace it?

Also, he suggested that if I wanted to go to Iran, I could take a male friend with me, as this would be safer. In some other Muslim countries, this would be illegal unless he was your father, brother or husband. What about Iran?

Hi,
I heard that one can have consensual sex with girls if they are aged at least 9. If one is not Mollah or Revolutionary guard, one has to marry them. Is it possible for a foreigner to marry such a girl and to take her abroad?
Many thanks for your answer.[/QUOTE]

WHY? Were you wanting to do something like that?

(my e-mail address: samin_mrsa@yahoo.com)[/COLOR]Hi all,

I am from Chile, Southamerica, living in Poland.
I was looking for a special place to go and talking to my Polish friends, I said, I would love to go to Iran.
The good thing is that there is an Iranian Embassy here in Warsaw, so I will apply for the VISA.
But on the other hand, my question is, how conservative is the situation in Iran regarding religion?
I also heard that girls are very very pretty. So, "IF" I meet a nice one, how should I do or not do? What is forbidden? I read sex is illegal, but is really followed happening that young people is not having sex before the marriage?
Well, I would appreciate a response, mainly from people living there currently, Iranians.
How widely spoken is English? Any other western language? Spanish, French?

Regards

Pablo[/QUOTE]
