Saying goodbye!

My colleagues who have stayed here to help me from May 30th left Tehran today. We were not able to make any moves of extending their visas and as other foreign media have done, we just had to have them leave. It's been quite a battle here, not being able to leave the office for coverage, but they stayed calm listening to my advices and orders, and that really helped. Thank you so much for the help and I hope you'll have a great trip back to Tokyo!
...oh how envious I am...

PS

having an Iranian ice cream bar for dessert at night... not bad!
