Persian Life

Persian Update

Today is the third day I’m in Shiraz, Iran (arrive on Thursday almost midnight). Nothing much happened; the machine problem was solved on Friday. Was suppose to make a test run on Saturday but only managed to make a dummy run due to the unavailability of raw material. So today, Sunday, hope the customer will be able to make a full test run (real production) to make sure that the machine is working well.

Hopefully Monday or Tuesday, I will be able to travel around the Persian country to see some of the attraction spots like

  1. Persepolis (The Acheulian Period - 500 B.C.),
  2. Tomb Of Cyrus II The Great (The Acheulian Period - 500 B.C.),
  3. Tomb Of Saadi and Tomb Of Haffez (Both The Great Persian Poet).

For now, its back in the office sitting and waiting for the production… *yawn*. Good thing my good buddy Timmy is online. He’s now updating me with his well being and at least I have someone to talk to :D. three cheers to Timmy! Hip hip hooray~! Hip hip hooray~! Hip hip hooray~! Owe you one Tim ;)

Last min planning

Finally I got my flight plan to Iran.

KL – Bahrain = 8.5 hours
Bahrain = wait 5 hours
Bahrain – shiraz = 1 hour

Shiraz – Dubai = 1hour 10 min
Dubai = wait 10 hours (someone come and accompany me....)
Dubai – Indonesia = 8 hour 40 min
Indonesia = wait 1 hour
Indonesia – KL = 2 hour 10 min.

This is the craziest flight that I will ever take.
Probably due to the Hari Raya Haji that is around the corner, there are lots of ppl traveling to the Middle East and back. So I have to end up taking a crazy flight plan to be able to come back in time for Christmas
