Start of the ceremonies...

From the morning, the celebration of the start of the "Ten Days of Dawn", the anniversary festivities for the Iran's Islamic Revolution. We went to Imam Khomeini's shrine in the morning and it took me almost the whole day to compile a story for the news.
From today, the busiest 2 weeks after arriving in Tehran will start and I will face the challenge to manage how I can use all the resources I have including my staff. I know I can't make it without the help from Tokyo, but I'm really having a tough time to cope with the strong pressures I get. Will I go broke or will I succeed... only God knows...
