I can’t imagine what life was like when smoking was everywhere.  It’s actually hard for me to believe that people use to smoke on a plane – just being stuck in a tube full of smoke.

Censureship in Iran

preview.jpegTurns out they censure everything on the newsstand with a black marker.

Since hotel rooms are boring, I picked up a couple of magazines – they even carried older issues. Went back and started reading. It was not until the second time I saw one of the black slabs of ink that I realized that the magazines were indeed censored! This sparked my interest, and I went back several times in the following days, and basically cleared out the store of foreign magazines. (It turned out that the shop owner had some uncensored issues of fashion magazines under the counter – which he very subtly offered me to purchase – and when I said that I’d rather buy the censored ones his jaw fell to the floor.)

Take a look at all the pictures.  It’s pretty interesting what was marked out.
