Like Everycity Except Tehran

Some days ago a German journalist in a cultural survey ,came to Iran and wrote his experiences in the most public German newspaper.
We have lots of friends who has taken German spouses, but because of bad rumors behind Iran security and culture ,every year should come to visit their parents alone. Their spouses never believe them that nobody will arrest you because of your hairs or nationality.These are some interesting parts of his experience, very short and to the point, very short and very true, very short and very simple... :
You can easily find the best brands of beer or vodka, although they are forbidden but it must be some political connections that makes preparing them so available.
the appearance of the apartments are totally different in north and south, you can rent a big house in the south by the price of just 1m^2 of the north apartments.
Finding a mosque is not an easy task in this Islamic city, it's also true for finding a Molla and those women who wear Chador. People believes to God are vanishing by days. They are only thinking about earning more money.
SMS's environment reflects the public opinion about the news, most of them are about the president and nuclear right.Everyone knows that a probable war is near but no one even think about it.In this young city ,this level of disappointment is so rare...

He has written lots of true facts which are not here ,but it was interesting for me that by just a look to this city you can find these facts, maybe those foreigners who read my blog and have been in Tehran for a while find what I say!!!
