Bonjour!

It was a crazy day... After packing, and sleeping for perhaps 15 minutes, it was time to leave and we were in the airport by 3:10AM.


leaving Iran... not for good... for a while!

Our first flight to Dubai was the usual Emirates flight, but I was so sleepy it felt like a 30 minute ride to a neighborhood in Tehran!


the familiar plane...


bunch of people for transit routes!

We took the transit route to Paris and I had some time to watch the multiple Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire" and tried to watch another one, Brad Pitt's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" but I couldn't finish watching the 166 minute film as we arrived in Charles De Gaulle 30 minutes earlier than expected!


the nice "i c e"


quite a trip...

We took the bus to the city and though I was very sleepy, we first went to see my colleagues working in this beautiful city and at night went on to meet an acquiantance I've known for nearly 7 years when I was covering disaster news.
It was a pleasant day and how refreshing it is just to be out of that country!

Pics in Paris!

waiting for the bus!


how refreshing just to see the view of the city!

having a café at a café!

and taking the Metro like ordinary Parisiens!

the Tower!

at night time too!

and the world famous!
they're everywhere but not Iran!
